The battery inside the key fob will deplete quickly in the event that you don't use it often enough. If your remote starts to show signs like a loss of range or has stopped working in the middle of the night, then your battery may be dead. The battery in the key fob is held in place by steel clips that hold it in place. If the clips are loose, it could lead to contact issues that will stop the remote from receiving power. Use a flathead screwdriver to open the retaining clips and remove the old battery. Make sure you use an alternative battery that has the same kind of voltage, the same size and specifications as the original battery. Exposure to water can cause the key fob to become corroded or damaged. Even a small bath in soapy water may harm the electronic chip within. Keep your key fob dry. Water Damage If your key fob isn't functioning properly, it may be caused by water damage. The rubber seals on key fobs stop them from being damaged by a tiny drizzle or splash of water. However, it is essential to keep the keys out of the washing machine, the ocean and the pool. The key fob comes with an electronic chip that sends an alert to the immobilizer system in your car. The chip is what allows the 500 to be locked and started. If it gets wet, it will no longer work. You can clean the inside of your key fob's electronics with isopropyl Alcohol or an electronic cleaner to determine whether they're still working. It is recommended to replace a key fob if it is submerged in salt water, rather than trying to fix it yourself. A replacement fob might cost you a bit, but it's a lot cheaper than having to have your Fiat 500 towed to a dealer and repaired there! You can also fix it yourself with a few simple steps. Be sure to use the correct type of battery before you attempt to open your key fob. This is a job that's more straightforward than it appears and there are step-by-step instructions online for almost any car key fob. Faulty Chip The chip inside the key fob communicates with the car's immobiliser system to ensure the vehicle is only capable of starting when the correct key is inserted. If fiat key cover is damaged or damaged, your car won't start, no matter what you do. Water damage or a dead cell battery are the two most frequently cited reasons for a faulty chip.

If your key fob ceases to function after exposure to clean tap water or rain, take out the battery and clean the electronic component with a tissue to ensure it's completely dry before putting it back in.

United Locksmith is the best place to go if you want your Fiat keyfob fixed at a reasonable price. We have the tools and experience needed to fix your Fiat fob in a professional and timely manner. Faulty Receiver Module Fiat key fobs send an electrical signal to the vehicle which will unlock and close doors (and start the vehicle for those with an automatic transmission) up to 50 feet. However, there are several things that can cause the fob to cease functioning. This could be due to a dead battery, water damage, worn out buttons or a receiver issue signal interference, or an issue with the chip. If the fob is placed in a pocket that endured extreme trauma, like being dropped on hard floor or getting washed in the washing machine, it may not be capable of communicating with the car's Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is a security system that only accepts signals from genuine keys. If this is the case, you have to replace your fob. A professional locksmith can handle every aspect of the key replacement process as well as programming a new one for your 500.
