Water Damage

If your key fob is damaged by dropping it in the pool or fumbling it in the wash, you may think it's a goner but there's a chance. When the circuit board in the fob is exposed to water, it becomes an electrical conductor, which shorts the components. It also increases corrosion and rust.

This is a simple solution. Find something absorbent and put it inside the fob. A paper towl or tissue works well. Then you can use a cotton swab that has been soaked in isopropyl alcohol to wipe down the circuit board and other components to get rid of any battery acid residue or contamination. Allow the circuit board to air dry in a warm, dry environment for a few weeks.

Radio Interference

When a key fob is functioning properly, it emits an audio frequency signal that is received by the module inside your seat leon car key. If the signal is disrupted in some way the key fob won't perform as it should. This could be due to objects like weather conditions or other transmitters operating on the same frequency near your car.

This could cause your key fob not to be able to trigger the vehicle's systems like the ignition switch or security system. In this case, it would be best to replace the battery inside your key fob.

Some LED lighting from the aftermarket that uses the same frequency as a remote key fob might interfere with the signal, preventing it from reaching the receiver modules. To prevent interference, the lighting must be turned off or to an alternative frequency.

If you have a brand new battery on your key fob but the problem persists, it's likely that the antenna on the key fob is damaged or not functioning properly. This is because the antenna is responsible for sending signals from the key fob to the receiver module. Using an OBDII scanner can help diagnose this issue by revealing what's wrong with the system. The scanner will ask to provide information about your vehicle including the model, make engine type, VIN number.

Faulty Receiver Module

The key fob has an electronic receiver that sends the signals for lock and unlock. If this module develops a fault then all the on-board electronics will cease to function. If this is the case it is possible to reprogramme the module using an OBDII scanner or replacing the key fob itself may aid.

This problem can be caused by a dead coin cell battery or a water damage or signal interference. It is possible to reset the on-board computer by disconnecting the 12 Volt batteries for 15 mins. This will remove any remaining electrical energy that could be causing problems. Take the cable off first of the negative terminal, then the positive terminal. After 15 minutes, reconnect the battery in reverse order beginning with positive first, and negative second.

The internal chip inside the key fob can also be damaged by water or dirt. If the key fob you purchased stopped working after getting wet, clean it with isopropyl, or an electronics cleaner. Then, reinstall the battery. If it stops working after exposure to soapy or salty water the chip is likely damaged and should be replaced.

Another possibility is an inoperable antenna module fuse that sends the signal to lock or unlock to the vehicle. Depending on your model the fuse could be located in one of several locations like the engine bay, the side of the dashboard, under the rear seat ibiza key replacement, or in the trunk.
