If your remote key fob isn't working, it's time to replace the battery. If you replace the battery, but it still doesn't work, the problem may be somewhere else.

United Locksmith specializes in the production of new keys for classic vehicles. We have the tools and components needed for this job.

Dead Coin Battery

A dead battery is the most common reason for your Fiat 500 keyfob not locking or unlocking the doors. The key fob comes with an in-built battery that will drain quickly if it is not frequently used. If your remote began to show signs of weakness such as a loss of range and stopped working completely, the battery is probably dead.

The battery inside the key fob is secured by metal clips that retain it. If the clips aren't tight, they can cause problems with contact that can prevent the remote from receiving power. Using a small flathead screwdriver, pull the clip that holds the retaining pin open to remove the current battery, and replace it with a brand new one. Use a battery that has the same size, voltage and specifications as the original.

Exposure to water can cause the key fob to corrode or be damaged. Even a short bath in soapy, warm water could cause damage to the chip. Keep your key fob dry.

Water Damage

Damage to your water supply could be the reason behind your key fob's inability to function properly. The rubber seals on key fobs protect them from being damaged by a tiny splash or drizzle of water. However, it is essential to keep the keys from the washing machine, the ocean and the pool.

The key fob has an electronic chip inside that transmits a signal to your car's immobilizer system. This is the reason why your 500 can start or lock, however in the event that the chip becomes wet, it can no longer function.

You can try cleaning the inside of your key fob's electronics with isopropyl Alcohol or an electronic cleaner to see if they are still good. It is best to replace a key fob in the event that it's submerged into salt water rather than attempting to repair it yourself.

Although a replacement fob may cost a bit of money, it's much less expensive than paying for your Fiat 500 to be towed to the dealer for repair! You can also do it yourself by following only a few steps. Make sure you have the correct type of battery prior to opening your key fob. You can find step-by-step instructions for every car keyfob online.

Faulty Chip

The chip located within the key fob communicates with your car's immobiliser system to ensure the vehicle is only capable of starting when the correct key is used. If the chip is damaged or damaged in any way the car won't start.

Water damage or a dead battery are the two most common reasons for the chip being damaged. It is best to leave the job to a professional locksmith, who will be able to replace the chip in a short time and at a reasonable cost.

If your key fob will not function after being exposed to clean tap or rain water, remove the battery. Clean the electronic component using a paper towel. If the key fob does not work, there's the possibility that it has a fried component and needs to be replaced.

Some people go to their dealer in order to get an entirely new fiat keys replacement fob. However, this can be costly. United Locksmith is the best place to go if you want your Fiat keyfob fixed at a reasonable cost. We have the tools and experience needed to fix your Fiat fob in a timely and professional manner.

Faulty Receiver Module

Fiat key fobs send signals of up 50 feet to the vehicle, which will unlock and close the doors (and start the vehicle if it has automatic transmissions). There are several reasons why the fob may not function. These include a dead coin battery or water damage buttons, worn ones as well as a receiver module problem and signal interference, or a malfunctioning electronic chip.

If the fob was in a pocket which has suffered a severe trauma, like being dropped on hard floor or getting washed in a wash machine the fob 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 original key and not accept any other.

You'll need to replace the fob if this occurs. A professional locksmith can handle the entire process of replacing your key including programming a new key for your 500. In fact, they can even provide you with a duplicate key that functions like the original fob (and costs only a fraction of the price).
