Fiat 500 Replacement Key Fob

Dead Coin Battery

The most common reason why your Fiat 500 key fob will not lock or unlock the doors is a dead battery. The battery of the coin cell inside the key fob can be depleted quickly when you don't use frequently enough. If your remote started to show signs of weakness like a loss of range and then completely stopped working the battery could be dead.

Metal clips hold the battery in place in the key fob. If the clips are loose, they can cause problems with contact, which can prevent your remote from receiving power. Make use of a flathead screwdriver to pry open the retaining clip and then remove the old battery. Make sure that the battery you choose to use has the same size, voltage and specifications as the original.

The key fob might be damaged or corroded by water exposure. Even a small bath in soapy water can cause damage to the electronic chip inside. Make sure your key fob is dry.

Water Damage

If your key fob isn't functioning properly, it may be caused by water damage. The rubber seals on key fobs prevent them from being damaged by a slight drizzle or splash of water. However, it's important to keep the keys out of the washing machine, the ocean and the pool.

The key fob is equipped with an electronic chip inside it that sends a signal to your car's immobilizer system. This is what allows your 500 to start or lock, but if the chip gets wet, it will no longer function.

Try cleaning the inside of your key fob's electronics with isopropyl alcohol or an electronic cleaner to determine whether they're still in good condition. It is best to replace a key fob in the event that it has been submerged into salt water, rather than trying to repair it yourself.

While a replacement fob might cost a little money, it's far less expensive than having to pay for your fiat keys 500 to be towed to a dealership and fixed! You can also do it yourself in a few easy steps. Make sure you have the correct type of battery before you attempt to open your key fob. This task is much easier than it looks, and there are step-by-step instructions online for virtually any key fob for cars.

Faulty Chip

The chip in the key fob communicates directly with the immobiliser of your car to ensure that your vehicle will only start once the proper keys are inserted. If the chip is damaged or corrupted the car won't start, no matter what you do.

Water damage or a dead cell phone battery are the most frequent causes of defective chips. It is recommended to leave the job to a professional locksmith who will be able to replace the chip in a short time and at a reasonable cost.

If your key fob fails to function after exposure to clean water from the tap or rain, take off the battery and wipe down the electronic component with a paper towel to ensure it is fully dry before putting it back into. If the key fob does not work, there's the possibility that it has a fried component and needs to be replaced.

A few people will visit their dealer when they require an entirely new fiat key fob replacement fob. But, this can be a costly option. If you are looking for a cost-effective way to have your Fiat key fob repaired, look no further than United Locksmith.

Faulty Receiver Module

Fiat key fobs transmit 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. There are many reasons why the fob might stop working. This could be due to a dead coin battery, water damage, worn buttons as well as a receiver module problem and signal interference, or an electronic chip malfunctioning.

If the fob was placed in an area that has experienced severe trauma (such as being dropped on a hard floor or being washed in a washing machine), it may not be in a position to communicate with the Body Control Module (BCM) of the vehicle. The BCM is a security device which will only accept signals from genuine keys.

You'll have to replace the fob in case this occurs. A professional locksmith will manage the entire replacement process including programming a new key to your 500. They can even offer a clone fob that works just like the original (and costs just a fraction of what it would cost).
