It could be that the receiver module has a problem when your Peugeot key fob isn't working after being dropped on the floor, exposed to a sudden rainstorm or accidentally washed. The receiver module is responsible for transmitting radio frequencies to the onboard computer which controls the central locking system of your Peugeot vehicle.

The key fob itself is fitted with rubber seals which prevent water from getting to the electronic chip inside.

This prevents the key fob from sending a signal to disable the standard immobilizer in your vehicle. You can test this by pressing the unlock button on the key fob, then trying to start your vehicle. If this doesn't work then the battery on the key will need replacing.
