It competes against the Renault Clio and Peugeot 208 as well as the Ford Fiesta. Make use of a small screwdriver with a flat head or a thumbnail (A) to remove the battery compartment cover of the key fob (B). Replace the coin battery CR2025, making sure it is placed in the correct direction and in the right polarity. Dead Coin Battery The most frequent reason for a key fob that does not lock or unlock your car is a dead coin battery. When it is dead, you will see an increase in range, or no power. It is simple to replace with a brand new one (CR2025) from a local store. It is important to be aware that using the wrong or unsuitable batteries can damage your key fob. Make sure that the new battery has the same size, specification and voltage as the old one. If your device has been exposed to clean water, for example rainwater or soapy tap water it is possible 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 that the chip has been damaged. A new key fob is the most straightforward solution. They can be purchased from a variety of major car dealers and are fitted by an experienced mechanic. You can also buy them online, like on eBay. The best way to work is to work on a flat, level surface with excellent lighting. seat arona key cover is easier to work with small parts. This also helps you to avoid putting anything back in the wrong location. Always keep your key fob in a place that is safe and secure. Water Damage If your key fob gets soaked by dropping it in the pool or slipping it in the washing machine you might think it's a goner but there's still hope. When the circuit board in the fob is exposed to water, it becomes a conductor which shorts the components. It also accelerates corrosion and rust. Fortunately, this is easy to fix. Find something absorbent and place it inside the fob. Paper towl or tissue work well. Then, use a cotton swab that has been soaked in isopropyl alcohol to wipe down the circuit board and other components to remove any battery acid residue or contamination. Allow the circuit board to air dry in a dry, warm environment for several weeks. When the fob has been drained, replace the battery with another one of the same size and the same polarity ('+' with the upwards direction). The fob isn't easy to open in order to access the battery, but If you have a flat-head screwdriver it should be easy to slide in. Once the fob has been repaired, it should function like a normal. If it doesn't work it may be necessary to re-program it or replace the module. Radio Interference If a keyfob works properly, it broadcasts an audio frequency that is received by a module in your vehicle. However, if the signal is distorted in some way the key fob won't perform as it should. This could be due to things, weather conditions or other transmitters operating within the same frequency band close to your car. This can cause your key fob's button to not work the vehicle's functions, such as the ignition switch, or the security system. In this instance it is recommended to replace the battery in your key fob. A few LED lighting aftermarkets which uses the same frequency as the remote control key fob could interfere with the signal, stopping it from reaching receiver modules. The LED lighting must be turned off or switched to a different frequency in order to be able to avoid interference. 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 aid in diagnosing the issue by revealing what's wrong with the system. The scanner will ask you for details about your vehicle including the make and model as well as the engine type and VIN number. Faulty Receiver Module The key fob has an electronic receiver that transmits signals for locking and unlocking. If the receiver module develops a fault, all of the on-board electronics will stop working. Reprogramming the key fob with an OBDII scan, or replacing it might help. This problem can be caused by a dead battery in the coin-cell or water damage, or signal interference. It is possible to reset the on-board computer by disconnecting the 12 volt batteries for 15 minutes. This will flush out any residual electrical energy that could be causing issues. Start by removing the cable from the negative terminal first, followed by the positive terminal. After 15 minutes, reconnect your battery in reverse order. First, positive and then negative, and finally negative. The internal chip of the key fob may be damaged by dirt or water. If your key stopped working after it got wet, clean the electronic component using isopropyl alcohol or an electronic cleaner prior to installing the battery. If the key stops working after exposure to soapy or salted water, it's likely that the chip is damaged and must be replaced. Another possibility is a faulty antenna module fuse that is sending the lock / unlock signal to the vehicle. The fuse could be found in several places, depending on the type of vehicle. For example, it could be under the rear seat or trunk, or on the side of the dashboard.
