Fiat 500 Replacement Key Fob It could be time to replace the battery if the 500 remote key fob isn't working. If you do replace the battery but it doesn't work it may be elsewhere. At United Locksmith, we specialize in making new keys for old cars. We have all of the necessary tools and parts for this type of 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 deplete quickly in the event that you don't use it often enough. If your remote has started to show signs of a loss of range or stopped functioning, then the battery may be dead. Metal clips hold the battery in in the key fob. If the clips are loose, they can cause contact issues, which could prevent your remote from receiving power. With a small flathead screwdriver, pry the retaining clip outwards to remove the battery and insert a new one. Choose a battery that is the same voltage, size and specification as the original. Water exposure can cause the key fob to corrode, or even become damaged. Even a short bath in soapy, warm water could damage the chip. Keep your key fob dry. Water Damage If your key fob doesn't work properly, it could be due to water damage. The rubber seals on key fobs protect them from being damaged by a light drizzle or splash of water. However, it is crucial to keep your car keys away from the washing machine, the ocean and even the pool. The key fob contains an electronic chip inside that sends a signal to your car's immobilizer system. This is what allows your 500 to start or lock, but in the event that the chip becomes saturated, it won't be able to longer function. You can try cleaning your key fob's internal electronics using isopropyl alcohol, or an electronic cleaner to see whether they're still in good condition. However, it is probably best to get a replacement from a dealership rather than trying to fix the key fob which is submerged in salt water. A replacement fob can cost you a few dollars, but it's a lot less expensive than paying to have your Fiat 500 towed to a dealership and fixed there! You can also make it yourself by following only a few steps. Just ensure you have the right battery type before you attempt to open your key fob. This task is far simpler than it appears, and you can find step-bystep instructions online for almost any key fob in your car. Faulty Chip The chip inside the key fob communicates directly with the immobiliser on your vehicle to ensure that the vehicle will only start when proper keys are inserted. If the chip is damaged or damaged in any way the car won't start. Water damage or a dead cell phone battery are among the most frequent causes of defective chips. It is best to delegate the task to a professional locksmith, who will be able to replace the chip in a short time and at a a reasonable price. If your key fob fails to function after exposure to clean water from the tap or rain, unplug the battery and clean the electronic component using a paper towel to ensure it's dry before putting it back into. If the key fob still does not work it's probably a fried chip and will need to be replaced. A few people turn to their dealer when they are in need of a new Fiat key fob, but it can be a costly option. United Locksmith is the best choice if you are looking to have your Fiat key fob replaced at a reasonable price. We have the tools and expertise necessary to fix your Fiat key fob in a timely and professional manner. Faulty Receiver Module Fiat key fobs send an electronic signal to the vehicle that will unlock and lock doors (and start the vehicle for those with 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 water damage or worn buttons, a receiver module issue and signal interference or an electronic chip that has failed. If the fob is in a pocket which has suffered extreme trauma (such as being dropped onto the hard floor or washed in the washing machine) the fob may not be able to connect with the Body Control Module (BCM) of the vehicle. The BCM is a security device that will only accept signals from genuine keys. If this is the case, you will require replacing your fob. fiat keys can handle the entire process of replacing keys including programming a new one for your 500. In fact, they'll offer you a clone key that functions the same as the original fob (and costs a fraction of the price).
