Seat Alhambra Key ProblemsSeat’s jumbo MPV range is among the top models in its class when it comes to resale values. And with a new generation model on sale, it’s even better.There are a myriad of reasons the key fob won’t perform as it should, including an inoperative coin battery or damage to the receiver module, or signal interference. This article will walk you through the steps to make it work again.Water DamageIf your key fob for the seat Alhambra is able to withstand the wash cycle or dip in the ocean or in a pool, then it has a waterproof chip. However, don’t do it often as excessive exposure to water increases the likelihood of the key fob getting damaged. If your key fob ceases to functioning after being exposed to rain or clean tap water, remove the battery and clean the electronic component using a paper towel.

It’s a relatively simple and affordable fix. It is possible to disconnect the 12 volts battery for a few minutes (first remove the negative cable and then press the horn several times) in order to drain any remaining power. Then connect it in reverse. positive cable first then negative.ESP Warning Light If the ESP warning light flashes, this is normal and indicates that the car is driving over terrain where the traction between the road surface and the tyres isn’t optimal, like gravel, snow or lots of surface water. If the ESP warning light continues to be shining, it is a sign that there is an error within the system. It should be diagnosed using a iCarsoft i908 Seat OBD Code Reader kit that will provide a precise fault description.Dead Coin BatteryOne of the most frequent reasons for the seat alhambra keys to stop working is a dead battery. The key fob has an insignificant button cell battery that keeps it running. It should be replaced with a new one with exactly the same size, voltage, and specification as the original. If you’re replacing the battery, be sure to remove all metal retaining clips from the back of the key fob. Also ensure that the contacts are clean and free of corrosion.If TheKeyLab has been exposed to water, like soapy or rain it is recommended to remove the battery and clean the electronic chip using alcohol isopropyl or an electronic cleaner prior to inserting the new battery. The chip may be permanently damaged by water. If the key fob still not working after replacing the battery, it may be necessary to replace the entire key fob.Faulty Receiver ModuleIf your key fob has stopped working after replacing the battery, but it did not work, or if it stopped working suddenly the receiver module may have encountered a problem. The receiver module is able to receive radio frequency signals from the remote keyfob and converts them into electrical commands which are then used by other modules inside the car.If the receiver module has a problem it will not be able to accept any commands from your remote key fob. In this scenario, a dealer will need to reprogramme your key fob as well as install an additional receiver.The key fob is covered by rubber to block water from entering the electronic chip. If you immerse the key fob in salty or soapy water, it could cause damage to the chip. You can attempt to clean the chip by applying isopropyl alcohol or electronic cleaner, however if your key fob still doesn’t work after doing this, then you’ll need to buy a new one.If the keys are in a pair but the receiver module has developed a fault, you may try to restart all electronics on board by removing the battery at 12 volts for a short period of time. Connect the battery in reverse (negative cable to positive first). This will reset the on-board electronic circuit and restore their functionality.Faulty electronic chipThe key fob is outfitted with a tiny chip that transmits the signal from the key to the receiver module every time the key is used. If the signal doesn’t match the one recorded by the car the immobilizer will shut down the engine and stop the vehicle from beginning. However, if the fob isn’t functioning and you are unable to reprogram it, it could be due a damaged chip.The chip inside the key fob isn’t an indefinite part of the device and may need to be replaced to make it work again. The best way to do this is by removing the key from its housing and using a pin or needle to make contact with each of the metal clips that hold it. You’ll need to replace these if they are damaged or damaged by corrosion. Make sure that any replacement batteries have the same voltage, size and specification as the original.Seat Alhambra is a well-known and well-designed model, may have problems with specific parts or equipment.
