At United Locksmith, we specialize in the creation of new keys for old cars. We have the tools and components needed for this service.

Dead Coin Battery

A dead battery is the most frequent cause of your Fiat 500 keyfob not locking or unlocking the doors. The coin cell battery in the key fob will drain quickly when you don't utilize frequently enough. If your remote started to show signs of weakening like a loss of range and then completely stopped working it is likely that the battery is dead.

Metal clips keep the battery in place inside the key fob. If the clips are loose, they can cause contact issues that will stop the remote from receiving power. With a small flathead screwdriver, pry the clip that holds the retaining pin open to take out the battery and replace it with a new one. Use a battery that has the same voltage, size, and specifications as the original.

The key fob may also become corroded or damaged by exposure to water. Even a small bath in soapy, warm water could cause damage to the chip. Keep your key fob dry.

Water Damage

If your key fob doesn't work properly, it could be caused by water damage. The rubber seals on key fobs stop them from being damaged by a tiny drizzle or splash of water. However, it is crucial to keep the keys from the washing machine, the ocean and the pool.

The key fob has an electronic chip in it that sends a signal to your car's immobilizer system. This is the reason why your 500 can start or lock, but if the chip gets wet, it can no longer function.

If you're trying to determine whether your key fob still functioning it is possible to clean the internal electronics using isopropyl or an electronic cleaner. However, it's better to purchase a new one from a dealership rather than trying to repair the key fob which has been submerged by salt water.

While a replacement key for fiat 500 fob can cost a little money, it's much less expensive than having to pay for your Fiat 500 to be towed to the dealer and repaired! You can also do it yourself with just a few steps. Just make sure you have the right battery type before you attempt to open your key fob. You can find step-by-step instructions for any key fob in your car online.

Faulty Chip

The chip inside the key fob communicates with the immobiliser on your car to ensure that your vehicle will only start when correct keys are used. If the chip is damaged or damaged in any way the car won't start.

A faulty chip can occur due to many reasons, but the most common reason is water damage or a dead battery. Regardless of the reason, it's an ideal idea to hand the job to a locksmith, as they will be able to repair the chip for you quickly and at a low cost.

If your key fob stops functioning after exposure to clean water from the tap or rain, remove the battery and wipe down the electronic component with a towel to ensure it's completely dry before putting it back in. If the key fob still does not work it's most likely to be a damaged chip that will require replacement.

Some people go to their dealer if they need a new Fiat fob. However, this can be an expensive option. United Locksmith is the best option if you would like to have your Fiat key fob replaced at a reasonable price. We have the tools and experience necessary to fix your Fiat key fob in a quick and professional way.

Faulty Receiver Module

Fiat key fobs transmit an electronic signal to the vehicle that can unlock and close doors (and start the car for those with an automatic transmission) up to 50 feet. There are a few reasons why the fob could not function. It could be due to a dead battery damaged by water buttons, worn out buttons or a problem with the receiver module, and signal interference or an electronic chip that has failed.

If the fob is in the pocket that has been subject to severe trauma (such as being dropped on the floor, or washed in a washing machine) the fob might not be able to communicate with the Body Control Module (BCM) of the vehicle. The BCM is a security system that can only accept signals from genuine original keys.

You'll need to replace the fob if this happens. A locksmith professional can handle all aspects of the key replacement process as well as programming a new one for the 500. In fact, they can even offer you a clone key that functions like the original fob (and costs only a fraction of the cost).
