Utilizing a thumb nail or small screwdriver with a flat-headed head (A) to lift up the key fob battery compartment cover (B). Replace the CR2025 batteries, making sure it is installed in the proper direction.

Dead Coin Battery

A dead battery for a coin is the most common reason of a key fob that isn't locking or unlocking your vehicle. It usually displays warning signs prior to dying such as a decreasing range or no power at all. It is easy to replace with a new one (CR2025) from a local store. Be aware that defective or defective batteries could cause damage to the key fob. Make sure that the new battery has identical in size, specifications and voltage as the older one.

If your fob was exposed to clean water, for example rainwater or soapy tap water It is probable that corrosion has caused damage to the chip's electronic components. You could clean the chip with isopropyl or electronic cleaners to see if this helps, but it's likely the chip is fried.

The most simple solution is to buy a new key fob. Most major car dealers sell key fobs and they can be installed by a seasoned mechanic. You can also purchase them online, such as on eBay. The best option is to work on a flat, level surface with good lighting. This makes it easier to work on the tiny parts inside. This will also help you to avoid putting things back in the wrong place. Always work on the key fob in a secure and safe location.

Water Damage

You might think that your key fob is lost if you drop it into the pool or accidentally wash it. But there's still hope. When the circuit board inside the fob is exposed to water, it transforms into conductor that shorts the components. It also speeds up corrosion and rust.

This is an easy fix. Simply find something absorbent and put it inside the fob - a paper towl or tissue works well. Use a cotton swab soaked in isopropyl for cleaning the circuit board and any other components. Let the fob dry out for several days in a dry, warm environment.

Replace the battery after the fob is dry by replacing it with a new one with the same size and polarity ('+' (pointing upwards). The fob can be difficult to open in order to access the battery, however If you have a flat-head screwdriver it will be simple to slide in. Once the fob is assembled and working, it should operate as usual. If it doesn't work, you'll require reprogramming it or replace the receiver module.

Radio Interference


When a key fob is working correctly, it sends a radio frequency signal that is received by the module in your car. However, if the signal is disrupted in some way, your key fob won't function as expected. This can be caused by objects, weather conditions, or other transmitters operating on the same frequency in close proximity to your car.

This could cause your key fob's button to not work the vehicle's functions like the ignition switch or security system. It is best to replace the battery in your key fob.

Some LED lighting from the aftermarket that uses the same frequency as a remote key fob could interfere with the signal and prevent it from reaching the receiver modules. To prevent interference, the LED light must be turned off, or switched to another frequency.

If the issue persists after installing a new battery, the antenna of the key fob might be damaged or malfunctioning. The antenna is responsible for transmitting a signal between the key fob and the receiver module. The OBDII scanner is able to assist in diagnosing the problem by revealing what's wrong with the system. The scanner will ask you for information about your vehicle, including the make, model, engine type and VIN number.

Faulty Receiver Module

The key fob comes with a receiver module that sends signals for locking and unlocking. All on-board electronic components will cease to function if this module develops a problem. If this happens, reprogramming with an OBDII scanner or replacing the key fob could help.

This problem could be caused by a dead coin-cell or water damage, or signal interference. You can reset the on-board computer by disconnecting the 12 Volt batteries for 15 mins. This will drain any remaining power that could cause issues. Remove the cable first from the negative terminal, then the positive terminal. After 15 minutes, connect the battery in reverse order: positive first, negative second.

The internal chip inside the key fob could be damaged by dirt or water. If your key fob stopped working after getting wet, wipe it with isopropyl, or an electronics cleaner. Then reinstall the battery. If it is not working after exposure to soapy or salty water the chip is likely damaged and must be replaced.

A damaged antenna module fuse could also be the reason. This is the fuse that sends an electronic signal to the vehicle to lock or unlock. The fuse may be located in various places, based on the type of vehicle. For seat key replacement , it could be under the rear seat or trunk, or on the side of the dashboard.
