Dead Battery

The most frequent reason for the key fob not functioning on your Berlingo is a dead battery for the coin. The button cell battery in the key is very simple to replace, however you should ensure that you are using the correct voltage and size battery.

Radio Interference

Radio interference could be the cause your key fob's not working immediately. This is a problem that can be caused by devices that operate on the same frequency as a remote control. Certain wireless security systems, like LED lights that are sold aftermarket, may interfere with RF signal. Try moving these devices to an alternative location if you've got them in your home.

In addition to devices using the same frequency, there are also environmental factors that could affect the signal of a car's key fob. Metal objects, for instance, can interfere with the strength of the signal. Rainy weather may also bend the antenna of the fob, resulting in a weaker radio signal. In some instances, even when the key fob is close to the car, it may not respond to radio signals.

Check the battery to ensure your key fob's health. It must be in good working order and the contacts must be free of corrosion. Contacts that are damaged by corrosion are one of the main reasons for a key fob that is not responding to the radio signals. A drained battery may cause the fob to malfunction. If you replace the battery but the issue persists, it's likely that the antenna is defective. A professional locksmith will examine the key fob and make any necessary repairs.
