Dead Coin Battery The most frequent reason for a key fob that does not allow you to lock or unlock your vehicle is a dead coin battery. Before it dies, you will notice an increase in range, or no power. It is easy to replace it with a fresh one (CR2025) from a local store. It is important to be aware that using the wrong or non-compatible batteries could damage your key fob. Make sure that the new battery has the same size, specification and voltage as your old one. If your device was exposed to clean water, like rain or soapy tap water it is likely that the chip inside has been damaged by corrosion. You could clean the chip with isopropyl or electronic cleaners to determine if that can help, but the chip is fried. The most efficient option is to buy a new key fob.

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 the pool or accidentally wash it. However, there's still a chance. The problem begins when the circuit board within the fob comes in contact with water – it is a great conductor, and it shorts out the components. It also accelerates the process of rust and corrosion. This is a simple fix. Find something absorbent and place it inside the fob. A paper towl or tissue can be used. Use a cotton swab soaked in isopropyl to cleanse the circuit board and any other components. Allow the circuit board to air dry in a warm, dry environment for several weeks. When seat key battery replacement has dried out, replace the battery with an alternative of the same size and the same polarity ('+' with the upwards direction). The fob can be difficult opening to access the battery, but If you have a flat-head screwdriver on hand it will be simple to insert. Once the fob has been repaired, it should function just as normal. If it doesn't, then you'll have to reprogramme it or replace the receiver module. Radio Interference If a key fob is functioning correctly, it transmits a radio frequency signal, which is received by the module inside your car. If the signal is not received, your key fob won't work. This could be due to objects like weather conditions or other transmitters that operate at the same frequency as your car. In this instance it is recommended to replace the battery on your key fob. In this case, it would be best to replace the battery on your key fob. Some LED lighting accessories that utilizes the same frequencies as the remote control key fob can interfere with the signal, stopping it from reaching receiver modules. The LED's light source must be turned off or switched to a different frequency to avoid interference. If the issue persists after replacing the battery, the antenna of your key fob may be damaged or malfunctioning. The antenna is responsible for transmitting a signal between the key fob and the receiver module. A scan of the OBDII can help you identify the issue by revealing what's wrong with the system. The scanner will ask you for details about the vehicle you own like the make and model of the vehicle, the type of engine, and VIN number. Faulty Receiver Module The key fob has an electronic receiver that sends the signals needed to lock and unlock. All electronic components on board will cease functioning if this component becomes inoperable. If this happens it is possible to reprogramme the module using an OBDII scanner or replacing the key fob itself may help. There are a few possible reasons for this problem, including a dead coin battery water damage, or signal interference. Try resetting the computer on board by disconnecting the 12 volt battery for 15 minutes. This will draw out any remaining electricity that may be causing issues. Start by removing the cable from the negative terminal of the battery first, then the positive terminal. After 15 minutes, connect the battery in reverse order beginning with positive first, and negative second. The internal chip inside the key fob can also be damaged by dirt or water. If your key fob stops working after getting wet, clean it with isopropyl or electronics cleaner. Then, reinstall the battery. If it is not working after exposure to salty or soapy water the chip may be damaged and must be replaced. A damaged antenna module fuse could also be the cause. This is the fuse that sends a signal to the vehicle to lock or unlock. Based on the model you have the fuse could be located in one of the many locations such as the engine bay, the side of the dashboard, under the rear seat, or trunk.
