Battery

Changing the battery in your key fob is among the most straightforward fixes. The fob has a small coin-shaped battery (CR2032, CR2025) and can be found in a variety of general stores, home improvement stores, and auto parts stores. Make sure to use an original battery -older batteries are typically not good for anything and could cause damage to the circuit board.

Start by opening the fob. It may be tight, but with the help of a flat screwdriver, you should be able to separate the halves. After that, slide the screwdriver into the seams on both sides of the fob, and then lift a couple of clips holding it in place. They are easily broken, so be careful and work slowly.

After replacing the battery replace the fob, then check to see if everything is functioning exactly as it should.

If not, then there could be another reason that caused the key fob not to function. For example, it could be that the button is worn out. This would trigger the button only occasionally, not all the time.

Interference

The key fob is powered by a tiny transmitter that sends out signals of a short range to a receiver inside your car. Its goal is to enable your car to recognize the key fob, then open its doors as you approach it, and begin when you press the ignition button.

The problem is, interference can sometimes interfere with the transmission. For example, if you are using your second-generation Apple Pencil charged while you're holding the fob, it might hinder you from unlocking your car (via iGeneration).

Other electronic devices that operate on the same frequency as the fob might also interfere with its signal. This can include garage door openers and tire pressure monitoring systems. Even a transmitter at your home could be causing interference with the tire pressure, but this isn't easy for an expert to test.

It's also possible that the key fob needs to be modified. This procedure requires the transmitter inside your fob to be recognized by the receiver in your Mini, and a unique code is assigned to each pairing.

This is a low-cost and simple fix that can be found at any hardware store or large retailer. To avoid future problems ensure that you purchase a battery that is compatible for the car model you have.


The fob shouldn't be exposed to water or soapy residue. Water is a common cause of corrosion, which can cause problems with the circuit board. If this is the case, you'll have to wash it by using isopropyl or electronic cleaner prior to installing an entirely new battery.

It is a good idea to test the function of the fob before driving the vehicle. Verify the voltage of the new battery using an voltmeter and make sure it's secure.
