Dead Coin Battery The most frequent reason for a key fob to not be able to lock or unlock your car is a dead battery. seat car key replacement displays signs before it dies such as a decreased range or no power at any time. It is easy to replace with a new one (CR2025) from an area supermarket. Be aware that using the wrong or non-compatible batteries can damage your key fob. Make sure that the new battery has identical in size, specifications and voltage as the previous one. If your fob was exposed to clean water, like rainwater or soapy water from the tap It is probable that corrosion has caused damage to the chip's electronic components. You might try cleaning your chip using isopropyl alcohol or an electronic cleaner to check if it works but it is likely that the chip has been damaged and fried. A new key fob is the easiest solution. Most major car dealers sell them and they can be installed by an experienced mechanic. They can also be purchased on ebay. The best thing to do is to work on a level surface with good lighting. This makes it easier to work on the small parts inside. This will also help you to avoid putting something back in the wrong place. Always work on your key fob in an area that is safe and secure. Water Damage It's possible to think that your fob is lost if you drop it into an unintentional pool or accidentally wash it. However, there's still a chance. When the circuit board in the fob is exposed to water, it develops conductor that shorts the components. It also accelerates the process of corrosion and rust. This is an easy fix. Find something absorbent, and put it inside the fob – a paper towl or tissue can be used. Use a cotton swab that contains isopropyl to wash the circuit board, and any other components. The fob should dry for some time in a warm and dry environment. Replace the battery after the fob has dried by a new one that has the same dimensions and polarity ('+' (pointing upwards). The fob can be difficult to open in order to access the battery, but If you have a flat-head screwdriver at hand, it should be easy to insert. After the fob is reassembled it should function in a normal manner. If it fails then you might need to re-program it or replace the module. Radio Interference When a keyfob operates properly, it broadcasts the radio frequency which is absorbed by a receiver module inside your vehicle. If the signal is not received, your key fob will not work. This can be caused by objects such as weather conditions, objects, or other transmitters that operate on the same frequency near your vehicle. This could cause your key fob to not be able to activate the car's systems for example, the ignition switch, or the security system. It is recommended to replace the battery on your key fob. Some aftermarket LED lighting that utilizes the same frequency as a remote key fob might interfere with the signal and stop it from reaching the receiver modules. The LED's light source must be turned off or switched to a different frequency in order to keep out interference. If the issue continues to persist after replacing the battery, the antenna on your key fob could be damaged or malfunctioning. The antenna is responsible for transmitting a signal between the key fob and the receiver module. An OBDII scan will help diagnose the problem by revealing what's wrong with your system. The scanner will ask to provide information about your vehicle, including the model, make engine type, VIN number. Faulty Receiver Module The key fob contains an electronic receiver that sends the signals for lock and unlock. The electronic components on the board will cease functioning if this component is affected by a malfunction. Reprogramming the keyfob using an OBDII scan or replacing it could help. This problem can be caused by a dead coin-cell or a water damage or signal interference. You can try resetting the computer on board by disconnecting the 12 volt battery for 15 minutes. This will remove any remaining electric current that could cause problems. Begin by removing the cable from the negative terminal first, followed by the positive terminal. After 15 minutes, connect the battery in reverse order first: positive, then negative second. The internal chip of the key fob can be damaged by water or dirt. If your key stopped working after it got wet, clean the electronic component with isopropyl Alcohol or an electronics cleaner before reinstalling the battery. If it stopped working after exposure to soapy or salty water, the chip is probably damaged and must be replaced. A damaged antenna module fuse could be a cause. It is the fuse that transmits an indication to the vehicle to lock or unlock. The fuse could be found in various places, based on the type of vehicle. For instance it could be under the rear seat, or in the trunk, or the side of the dashboard.
