You can repair your fob by following few steps. First, check that the battery is fresh. Then, try removing it from the ignition and pressing the button to lock three times quickly.

Battery

Change the battery in your key fob is one the easiest fixes. The key fob is powered by a small coin-shaped battery (CR2032 or the CR2025) that can be found in most general stores and home improvement stores and auto parts stores. Use a brand new battery. Old batteries can cause damage to the circuit boards and become less useful.

Start by opening the fob. You may need to use a flat screwdriver divide the two halves. Then, insert the screwdriver into the seams on both sides of the fob, and then lift up a couple of clips that hold it. They are easy to break So, be careful and slow.

After replacing the battery replace the fob, then examine it to determine if everything is functioning as it should. If it's still not working try pressing the button several times and verifying whether the contacts are clean. You can also test the fob with a spare to determine if the issue is not specific to the key. If not, then there could be a different reason for the key fob to not function. For instance it could be because the button is worn out. This would only cause the button to operate at times, not always.

Interference

The key fob has a small transmitter to send a short-range radio signal to a receiver in your car. Its function is to allow your car to recognize the key fob, open its doors when you are near it, and then start when you push the ignition button.

The problem is that interference can sometimes hinder the transmission. If you charge your second-generation Apple Pencil while holding the fob (via iGeneration) it could block you from unlocking your vehicle.

Other electronic devices that operate on the same frequency as the fob could interfere with the signal. Garage door openers and tire-pressure monitoring devices can be affected. Even a transmitter at your home could be causing interference, but this would be difficult for an expert to test.

It's also possible that the key fob simply needs to be modified. The transmitter on your key fob has to be recognized by the mini key fobs's receiver. A unique code is then used for each pairing. Fobs need to be reprogrammed after they are disconnected or replaced, if you buy a new one and, in some instances, when the battery is changed. Follow the steps in the owner's manual to reprogram a key fob or seek assistance from a dealer.

This is a cost-effective and easy solution which can be found at any hardware store or retailer. Make sure to purchase an alternative battery that is compatible with your specific model of car to avoid recurring problems.

The fob shouldn't be exposed to water or soapy residue. Water can cause corrosion and disrupt the circuitry. If this is the case, you will need to clean it with isopropyl alcohol or electronic cleaner prior to putting in an entirely new battery.

It is a good practice to test the function of the fob before driving the vehicle. Using a voltmeter, check the voltage of the new battery to see whether it is at an acceptable level. If not, you could need to replace the entire remote chip. A trained dealer technician can assist in determining the best solution for you vehicle.
