Dead Coin Battery The most frequent reason for a key fob to not lock or unlock your car is due to a dead coin battery. If seat key cover fails you will see an increase in range or no power. It is simple to replace with a brand new one (CR2025) from a local supermarket. It is important to be aware that using the wrong or incompatible batteries can damage your key fob. Make sure that the new battery has identical in size, specifications and voltage as the older one.

Water Damage If your key fob gets soaked by dropping it in the pool or throwing it in the wash you might think it's over, but there's still hope. When the circuit board inside the fob is exposed to water, it turns into a conductor which shorts the components. It also accelerates corrosion and rust. Luckily, this is a simple issue to fix. Find something absorbent to place inside the fob. A tissue or paper towel would work. Use a cotton swab with isopropyl to wash the circuit board, and any other components. The fob should dry for a few days in a warm and dry environment. Replace the battery once the fob is dry with a new one with the same size and the same polarity ('+' (pointing upwards). The fob isn't easy to open in order to access the battery, but If you have a flat-head screwdriver on hand, it should be easy to insert. Once the fob has been repaired, it should function like a normal. If it does not work it may be necessary to program it again or replace the module. Radio Interference If a keyfob functions properly, it sends out an audio frequency that is received by a module inside your vehicle. However, if the signal is interrupted in some way, your key fob won't function as expected. This could be due weather conditions, objects or other transmitters operating on the same frequency close to your car. In this situation, it is best to replace the battery in your key fob.

Some LED lighting aftermarket that utilizes the same frequencies as a key fob for remote control could interfere with the signal, stopping it from reaching receiver modules. The LED light must be switched off or changed to a different frequency in order to avoid interference. If you've got a new battery in your key fob, and the problem persists, it's possible that the antenna on the key fob is damaged or inoperable. The antenna is responsible for transmitting signals between the key fob and the receiver module. Utilizing an OBDII scanner will aid in diagnosing the issue by telling you what is wrong with the system. The scanner will ask you for details about your car, including the make, model and engine type as well as the VIN number. Faulty Receiver Module The key fob houses an encoder module that transmits the signals for lock and unlock. All electronic components that are on-board will cease to function if this module becomes inoperable. If this happens Reprogramming using an OBDII scanner or replacing the key fob itself may help. There are a variety of possible causes such as the battery of the coin is dead, 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, followed by the positive terminal. After 15 minutes, reconnect the battery in reverse order first: positive, then negative second. The internal chip of the key fob can also be damaged by dirt or water. If your key fob stops working after being soaked, clean it with isopropyl, or an electronics cleaner. After that, replace the battery. If it is not working after exposure to soapy or salty water the chip may be damaged and should be replaced. Another possibility is a defective antenna module fuse that is sending the signal to lock or unlock to the vehicle. Based on the model you have, the fuse is located in one of the many locations like the engine bay, side of the dashboard, under the rear seat, or in the trunk.
