The battery of the coin cell inside the key fob can be depleted quickly if you don't use frequently enough. If your remote began to show signs of weakening such as a loss of range or stopped working completely, the battery is probably dead. The battery in the key fob is held in place by steel retaining clips. If the clips are not tight, they can create problems with the contact, which can stop your remote to receive power. Use a flathead screwdriver open the retaining clips and remove the battery. Be sure to use an alternative battery that has the same type of voltage, dimensions, and specification as the original battery. The key fob might also be damaged or corroded by exposure to water. Even a quick bath in soapy water could damage the electronic chip inside. Keep your key fob dry. Water Damage Water damage may be the cause of your key fob not functioning properly. Key fobs have rubber seals to protect them from being damaged by light rain or splashes of water, but it is crucial to keep your car keys out of the ocean, pool, and washing machine! The key fob comes with an electronic chip that transmits a signal car's immobilizer system. This is what allows your 500 to start or lock, but when the chip becomes wet, it will no longer work. Try cleaning the inside electronics of your keyfob using isopropyl alcohol or an electronic cleaner to determine whether they're still functioning. It is recommended to replace a key fob if it's submerged in salt water instead of trying to repair it yourself.

Just make sure you have the right battery type before you attempt to open your key fob. You can find step-bystep directions for any key fob in your car online. Faulty Chip The chip inside the key fob connects directly with the immobiliser in your vehicle to ensure that the vehicle will only start when right keys are in place. If the chip is damaged or destroyed it won't allow your car to start regardless of what you do. Damage to the water or a dead phone battery are among the most common reasons for the chip being damaged. It is best to leave the work to a professional locksmith, who can replace the chip in a short time and at a reasonable cost. If your key fob will not function after exposure to water that is clean from the tap or rain then remove the battery. Clean new key for fiat 500 with an old towel.

Faulty Receiver Module Fiat key fobs transmit signals up 50 feet away to the vehicle, which can unlock and close the doors (and start the vehicle for vehicles with automatic transmissions). There are many reasons why the fob may not function. This can be caused by a dead coin-battery, water damage, worn out buttons an issue with the receiver, signal interference or malfunctioning chips. If the fob was in a pocket that has endured extreme trauma, such as being dropped on a hard floor or getting washed in the washing machine, it may not be able to communicate with the car's Body Control Module (BCM). This is because the BCM is secured and will only accept signals from a genuine key, and not from any other. If this is the case, then you will require replacing your fob. A professional locksmith can handle all aspects of the replacement process as well as programming a new one for the 500. They can even offer an clone fob that performs exactly like the original (and costs just a fraction of what it would cost).
