Dead Coin Battery

The most frequent reason that your Fiat 500 key fob will not unlock or lock the doors is due to a dead battery. The key fob comes with an internal battery called a coin cell that is prone to draining quickly when it isn't frequently used. If your remote began to show signs of weakness such as a loss in range or stopped working completely it is likely that the battery is dead.

Metal clips hold the battery securely on the key fob. If the clips are not tightly secured, they could result in contact problems that will prevent your remote to receive power. Utilizing a small screwdriver, pry the retaining clip open to take out the battery and insert a new one. Choose a battery that is the same size, voltage and specifications as the original.

The key fob might also become corroded or damaged through exposure to water. Even a brief bath in soapy water could cause damage to the electronic chip inside. Make sure your key fob is dry.

Water Damage

Water damage could be the reason behind your key fob not functioning properly. Key fobs come with rubber seals that stop them from being damaged by a light rain or splashes of water, however it is vital to keep your keys from being tossed into the pool, ocean, and the washing machine!

The key fob comes with an electronic chip that transmits an alert to the immobilizer system in your car. The chip is what allows the 500 to lock and start. If it gets wet, it will no longer function.

You can try cleaning the inside electronics of your keyfob with isopropyl Alcohol or an electronic cleaner to determine whether they're still functioning. It is best to replace the key fob when it has been submerged into salt water rather than attempting to repair it yourself.

A replacement fob might cost you a few dollars but it's far less expensive than paying to have your Fiat 500 towed to a dealership and fixed there! You could also do it yourself by following some simple steps. Be sure to have the correct battery type before you attempt to open your keyfob. This is a job that's more straightforward than it appears, and you can find step-by-step instructions on the internet for nearly any key fob in your car.

Faulty Chip

The chip that is contained in the key fob communicates with the car's immobiliser unit to ensure the vehicle is capable of starting when the correct key is used. If the chip is damaged or corrupted the car won't start, no matter what you do.

A faulty chip can occur due to a variety of reasons, but most often it is due to water damage or a dead battery. It is best to hand over the task to a professional locksmith who can replace the chip in a short time and at a reasonable cost.

If your key fob stops working after exposure to clean water from the tap or rain, remove the battery and clean the electronic component with a tissue to ensure it is fully dry before putting it back in. If the key fob fails to work, it is likely to be a damaged chip that is required to be replaced.

Faulty Receiver Module

Fiat key fobs transmit an electronic signal to the vehicle that can unlock and close doors (and start the car if it has an automatic transmission) up to 50 feet. However, there are several things that can cause the fob to cease working. This includes a dead coin-battery or water damage, worn out buttons or a receiver issue signal interference, or malfunctioning chips.

If the fob is in a pocket that has experienced extreme trauma, like being dropped on hard floors or getting washed in the washing machine and it isn't able to communicate with the car's Body Control Module (BCM). This is because the BCM is a secure system that can only accept signals from a genuine key and not another.
