It competes with Renault Clio and Peugeot 208 as well as the Ford Fiesta.With a thumb nail or small screwdriver with a flat head (A), prise upwards the key fob compartment cover (B). Replace the CR2025 battery, ensuring it is inserted in the correct direction.Dead Coin BatteryThe most frequent reason for a key fob to not lock or unlock your car is a dead battery. It is likely to show warning signs prior to dying like a lower range or no power at all. It is easy to replace it with a brand new (CR2025) one from a local retailer. You should be aware that using the wrong or unsuitable batteries can cause damage to your key fob. Make sure that the new battery is identical in size, specifications and voltage as the old one.If your fob was exposed to clean water, such as rain or soapy tap water it is likely that the chip inside has been damaged due to corrosion. You could clean the chip with isopropyl or electronic cleaners to see if that helps, but that the chip has been damaged.A new key fob is a simple solution. Major car dealers sell keys and can be installed by an experienced mechanic. You can also buy them on the internet, for instance on eBay. It is recommended to work on a surface with adequate lighting. This will make it easier to work on the tiny parts inside. This also helps you to avoid putting anything back in the wrong location. Always work on your key fob in a location that is safe and secure.Water DamageYou may think that your key fob is ruined if you drop it into the water or accidentally wash it. But there’s still hope. The problem starts when the circuit board in the fob comes in contact with water. It creates a fantastic conductor, and it shorts out the components. It also speeds up the process of corrosion and rust.Luckily, this is a simple issue to fix. Find something absorbent and place it inside the fob. A paper towl or tissue can be used. Use a cotton swab that contains isopropyl to clean the circuit board, as well as any other components. Allow the board to dry for a few days in a dry, warm environment.Replace the battery once the fob is dry by a new one that has the same dimensions and the same polarity (‘+’ (pointing upwards). The fob can be difficult opening to access the battery, but If you have a flat-head screwdriver at hand, it should be easy to slide in. After the fob is reassembled it should function just as normal. If it doesn’t, you may need to reprogramme it or replace the receiver module.Radio InterferenceIf a key-fob is functioning properly, it sends a radio frequency signal that is picked up by the receiver module inside your car. If the signal is interrupted in any way the key fob will not function properly. This could be caused by factors like weather conditions, objects, or other transmitters operating in the same frequency range close to your vehicle.This can cause your key fob to not be able to activate the car’s systems, such as the ignition switch or the security system. In this scenario it is recommended to replace the battery inside your key fob.Some aftermarket LED lighting that uses the same frequency as a remote key fob might interfere with the signal and stop it from reaching the receiver modules. To avoid interference, the LED lighting must be switched off or to the opposite frequency.If you have a new battery in your key fob and the issue persists, it’s possible that the antenna on the key fob is damaged or inoperable. The antenna is responsible for transmitting a signal between the key fob and the receiver module. The OBDII scanner is able to assist in diagnosing the problem by telling you what is wrong with the system. The scanner will ask you for information about your vehicle, including the make, model engine type, VIN number.Faulty Receiver ModuleThe key fob has an electronic receiver that transmits signals to lock and unlock the key fob. All electronic components on board will cease functioning if this component is affected by a malfunction. If this is the case Reprogramming using an OBDII scanner or replacing the key fob itself may assist.This problem can be caused by a dead battery in the coin-cell or a water damage or signal interference. Try resetting the on-board computer by disconnecting the 12 volt battery for 15 minutes. This will remove any remaining electricity that could be causing issues. Take the cable off first of the negative terminal, then the positive terminal. After 15 minutes, connect your battery in reverse order. First positive, then negative second.Water or dirt can also damage the internal chip of the key fob. If your key stopped working after it got wet, wash the electronic component with isopropyl Alcohol or an electronics cleaner before installing the battery. If it stopped working after exposure to soapy or salty water the chip may be damaged and needs to be replaced.A defective fuse for the antenna module could also be the cause. This is the fuse that sends an electronic signal to the vehicle to lock or unlock. Depending on seat car key could be located in one of several locations such as the engine bay, on the side of the dashboard, under the rear seat, or in the trunk.
