Fiat 500 Replacement Key Fob It could be time to change the battery if your 500 remote key fob isn't working. If you do replace the battery and it is still not working the issue is likely to be elsewhere. At United Locksmith, we specialize in the creation of new keys for classic automobiles. We have the tools and components needed for this job. Dead Coin Battery The most common reason why your Fiat 500 key fob will not lock or unlock the doors is due to a dead battery. The battery for the coin cell in the key fob will drain quickly when you don't utilize frequently enough. If your remote is beginning to show signs of loss of range, or has stopped functioning or not responding, then the battery could be dead. The battery inside the key fob is secured by metal clips that hold it in place. If the clips aren't secure, they could cause problems with contact, which can prevent your remote from receiving power. Make use of a flathead screwdriver to remove the retaining clip and remove the battery. Use a battery that has the same voltage, size and specification as the original. Water exposure can also cause the key fob to corrode, or even become damaged. Even a brief bath in soapy water may harm the electronic chip in. It's best to keep your key fob in a dry area. Water Damage If your key fob isn't operating properly, it could be caused by water damage. The rubber seals on key fobs keep them from being damaged by a tiny drizzle or splash of water. However, it is crucial to keep your keys of your car away from the washing machine, the ocean and pool. The key fob comes with an electronic chip which sends an electronic message to the immobilizer system of your car. This is the reason why your 500 can lock or start, but in the event that the chip becomes wet, it's unable to longer work. You can try cleaning your key fob's internal electronics using isopropyl alcohol or an electronic cleaner to see whether they're still in good condition. However, it is probably better to purchase a new one from a dealership rather than trying to fix an item that has been submerged by salt water. A replacement fob could cost you a bit but it's far less expensive than paying to have your Fiat 500 towed to a dealer and repaired there! G28 Car Keys can also fix it yourself with a few simple steps. Be sure to have the correct battery type before attempting to open your key fob. This task is much easier than it looks, and you can find step-by-step instructions on the internet for nearly any key fob for your car. Faulty Chip The chip in the key fob communicates to your vehicle's immobiliser to ensure that your car is only able to start when the correct key is used. If the chip is damaged or damaged in any way, your car will not start. Damage to the water or a dead phone battery are among the most common reasons for the chip being damaged. Regardless of the reason, it is recommended to delegate the job to a locksmith as they can replace the chip fast and at a reasonable cost. If your key fob stops functioning after exposure to clean tap water or rain, remove the battery and clean the electronic component using a paper towel to ensure it's dry before putting it back into. If the key fob does not work it's likely to be a fried chip and will need to be replaced. Some people will go to their dealer in order to get an entirely new Fiat fob. But, this can be expensive. If you are seeking a cost-effective method to get your Fiat key fob fixed, look no further than United Locksmith. We have all the tools and knowledge required to repair your Fiat fob in a timely and professional manner. Faulty Receiver Module Fiat key fobs transmit signals of up 50 feet to the vehicle, which can unlock and close the doors (and start the vehicle if it has automatic transmissions). However there are a few factors that could cause the fob to stop functioning. This could be due to a dead battery, water damage, worn out buttons or a receiver issue signal interference, or malfunctioning chips. If the fob is in the pocket that has been subject to severe trauma (such as being dropped onto a hard floor or being washed in a washing machine), it may not be able to communicate with the Body Control Module (BCM) of the vehicle. This is because the BCM is a secure system that will only accept signals from a genuine key and not accept any other. If this is the case, you will need to replace your fob. A professional locksmith is able to handle every aspect of the replacement procedure as well as programming a new one for the 500. They can even offer the fob cloned to work exactly like the original (and costs one-third of the cost).
