Dead Coin Battery

The most frequent reason for a key fob that does not lock or unlock your car is a dead battery. After it has died, you will notice a decrease in range or no power. It is simple to replace it with a new one (CR2025) from the local supermarket. Be aware that using the wrong or unsuitable batteries can cause damage to your key fob. Make sure that the new battery has identical in size, specifications and voltage as the previous one.

If your fob was exposed to clean water, such as rain or soapy tap water, it is likely that the chip inside has been damaged by corrosion. You could try cleaning the chip using isopropyl alcohol or an electronic cleaner to test if it helps, but it is likely that the chip has fried.

The most straightforward solution is to buy a new key fob. They are readily available from major car dealers and can be fitted by a skilled mechanic. You can also buy them on the internet, for instance on eBay. It is best to work on a surface with adequate lighting. It is much easier to work on small pieces. This can also help to avoid putting anything back in the wrong location. Always work on your key fob in an area that is safe and secure.

Water Damage

You may think your key fob is damaged if you drop it into the water or accidentally wash it. However, there's still a chance. The problem is when the circuit board in the fob comes into contact with water. It creates an excellent conductor and shorts out components. It also accelerates corrosion and rust.

Fortunately, this is not difficult to fix. Find something absorbent to place inside the fob. A tissue or paper towel would work. Then make use of a cotton swab dipped in isopropyl alcohol to clean the circuit board and other components to remove any battery acid residue and contamination. Let the fob dry out for some time in a warm and dry environment.

Once the fob is been drained and the battery is replaced with an alternative of the same size and the same polarity ('+' pointing upwards). It isn't easy to open up the fob to access the battery, however if you have a small screwdriver that is flat that you have at hand, it will be able to insert easily. Once the fob has been repaired, it should function just as normal. If it does not work then you might need to program it again or replace the module.

Radio Interference

When a key fob functioning properly, it sends the radio frequency signal which is received by the module inside your car. However, if the signal is distorted in any way the key fob will not perform as it should. This can be caused by objects such as weather conditions, objects, or other transmitters that operate at the same frequency as your car.

This could cause your key fob to not activate the car's systems, such as the ignition switch or the security system. It is best to replace the battery in your key fob.

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

If the issue continues to persist after installing a new battery, the antenna of your key fob may be 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 revealing what's wrong with the system. The scanner will ask to provide information about your vehicle including the model, make engine type, and VIN number.

Faulty Receiver Module

The key fob has an encoder module that transmits the signals needed to lock and unlock. If the receiver module fails, all of the on-board electronics will cease to function. Reprogramming the key fob by an OBDII scan, or replacing it may help.

This issue could be caused by a dead coin-cell, water damage or signal interference. It is possible to reset the on-board computer by disconnecting the 12 Volt batteries for 15 mins. This will drain any residual electric current that could cause problems. Begin by removing your cable from the negative terminal of the battery first, followed by the positive terminal. After 15 minutes, you can reconnect your battery in reverse order. Positive first, then negative the next.

The internal chip of the key fob can be damaged by water or dirt. If your key stopped working when it was wet, wash the electronic component with isopropyl Alcohol or an electronic cleaner prior to installing the battery. If it is not working after exposure to salty or soapy water, the chip is probably 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 various places, based on the type of vehicle. For instance it could be beneath the rear seat leon key, or in the trunk, or on the side of the dashboard.
