With a thumb nail, or a small flat head screwdriver (A) lift upwards the key fob compartment cover (B). Replace the CR2025 coin battery, making sure it is fitted in the correct direction and polarity.

Dead Coin Battery

The most common reason for a key fob to not lock or unlock your car is a dead coin battery. After it has died you'll notice an increase in range, or no power. It is simple to replace it with a brand new (CR2025) one from your local store. Be aware that faulty or unsuitable batteries can damage the key fob. Make sure that the battery you choose to replace is the same size and voltage, and also the same specification.

If your fob was exposed to clean water, such as rainwater or soapy water from the tap it is possible that corrosion has damaged the chip's electronic components. You might try cleaning your chip with isopropyl alcohol or an electronic cleaner to try to see if this helps but it is likely that the chip has been fried.

The most straightforward option is to buy a new key fob. They are readily available from major car dealers and can be installed by a qualified mechanic. You can also purchase them online, like on eBay. The best thing to do is to work on a flat surface with excellent lighting. It is much easier to work on the smaller parts. The KeyLab will also allow you to avoid putting something back in the wrong spot. Always work on the key fob in a secure and safe place.

Water Damage

If your fob's key gets damaged by dropping it in the pool or by slipping it in the wash you might think it's over, but there's a chance. When the circuit board inside the fob is exposed to water, it turns into a conductor that shorts out the components. It also increases corrosion and rust.

This is a simple fix. Find something absorbent to put inside the fob. A tissue or paper towel will work well. Then apply the cotton swab, dipped in isopropyl alcohol to clean the circuit board and other components to remove any residue of battery acid and contamination. Let the fob dry out for some time in a dry, warm environment.

When the fob has dried out it is time to replace the battery a new one of the same size and polarity ('+' with the upwards direction). The fob might be difficult opening to access the battery, but when you have a flat head screwdriver on hand it will be simple to insert. After the fob is reassembled, it should work just as normal. If it isn't working it may be necessary to re-program it or replace the module.

Radio Interference

If a key fob is functioning properly, it emits a radio frequency signal that is received by the module inside your car. If the signal is disrupted, your key fob won't work. This could be due to objects like weather conditions or other transmitters operating at the same frequency close to your vehicle.

In this scenario it is best to replace the battery in your key fob. It is recommended to replace the battery in your key fob.

A few aftermarket LED lighting fixtures that uses the same frequency as a remote key fob might interfere with the signal and stop it from reaching the receiver modules. The LED light must be turned off or switched to a different frequency in order to keep out interference.

If the problem persists after installing a new battery, the antenna of the key fob might be damaged or not functioning properly. The antenna is responsible to transmit a signal between the key fob and the receiver module. A scan of the OBDII can aid in diagnosing the issue by revealing exactly what's wrong with your system. The scanner will ask you for details about your vehicle, such as the make and model as well as the engine type and VIN number.

Faulty Receiver Module

The key fob is equipped with an encoder module that transmits the signals for locking and unlock. If the receiver module fails and the on-board electronic components will stop functioning. If this is the case then reprogramming the module using an OBDII scanner or replacing the key fob could aid.

This problem could be caused by a dead coin cell battery or water damage, or signal interference. You can reset the on-board computer if you disconnect the 12 Volt batteries for 15 minutes. This will flush out any residual electric current that could cause problems. Begin by removing your cable from the negative terminal first, then the positive terminal. After 15 minutes, reconnect your battery in reverse order. Positive first, then negative second.

Dirt or water can harm the internal chip of the key fob. If your key fob stopped functioning after being soaked, clean it using isopropyl or an electronic cleaner. Then, you can reinstall the battery. If your key has stopped working after being exposed to salted or soapy water, it is likely that the chip is damaged and requires to be replaced.

Another possibility is an inoperable antenna module fuse, which transmits the signal to lock or unlock to the vehicle. Based on the model you have the fuse can be located in one of several locations, such as the engine bay, side of the dashboard, beneath the rear seat, or trunk.
