Dead Coin Battery The most frequent reason that your Fiat 500 key fob will not unlock or lock the doors is due to a dead battery. The battery of the coin cell inside the key fob is likely to drain quickly when you don't use it frequently enough. If your remote began to show signs of weakness such as a loss of range and then completely stopped working, the battery is probably dead. The battery inside the key fob is secured by metal retaining clips. If the clips are loose they could cause problems with contact, which can prevent your remote from receiving power. Use a flathead screwdriver open the retaining clips and remove the battery. Choose a battery that is the same voltage, size, and specification as the original. The exposure to water can cause the key fob to become corroded or damaged. Even a short bath in soapy water could cause damage to the electronic chip inside. It is recommended to keep your key fob in a dry environment. Water Damage If your key fob isn't operating properly, it may be due to water damage. Key fobs come with rubber seals that prevent them from being damaged by rain or splashes of water. However, it is crucial to keep your car keys out of the pool, ocean, and washing machine! The key fob contains an electronic chip inside that transmits a signal to your car's immobilizer system. The chip is what allows the 500 to start and lock. If it gets wet it will cease to function. If you're looking to determine whether your key fob still working, you can clean the internal electronics using isopropyl or an electronic cleaner. It is recommended to replace the key fob when it's submerged into salt water rather than attempting to fix it yourself.

You can also do it yourself by following some simple steps. Make sure you have the correct battery type before attempting to open your keyfob. You can find step-bystep instructions for any car keyfob on the internet. Faulty Chip The chip that is contained in the key fob communicates with the car's immobiliser unit to make sure your car is only able to start when the correct key is inserted. If the chip is damaged, or damaged in any way your car will not start. Water damage or a dead battery are the most frequently cited reasons for a faulty chip. It is best to leave the repair to a professional locksmith who can repair the chip in a short time and at a a reasonable price. If your key fob will not function after being exposed to clean tap or rain water take the battery off. Wipe down the electronic component using paper towels. If the key fob still isn't working, it is likely to be a damaged chip and must be replaced. Some people will go to their dealer when they require a new Fiat fob. However, this could be costly.

Faulty Receiver Module Fiat key fobs transmit a signal up 50 feet to the vehicle, which can unlock and lock the doors (and start the vehicle if it has automatic transmissions). There are many reasons why a fob could stop working. This could be due to a dead coin battery, water damage buttons, worn out buttons, a receiver module issue or signal interference, or an electronic chip malfunctioning. If the fob was in a pocket that has experienced extreme trauma, such as being dropped on hard floor or getting washed in a washer and it isn't able to communicate with the car's Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is a security device which will only accept signals from genuine original keys. If this is the case, then you will need to replace your fob. A professional locksmith can handle the entire process of replacing keys including programming a new one for your 500. In fact, they can provide you with a replica key that functions the same way as your original fob (and costs less than the cost).
