10 Fiat Panda Key Fob Replacement-Related Meetups You Should Attend Reasons Your Fiat 500 Key Fob Won't Work A fiat 500 key fob is a great way to open the doors and start the car. There are a myriad of reasons the fob could stop working. This includes a dead battery water damage, problems with receiver modules, as well as interference. This listing is for a NEW replacement Fiat Flip Key Remote - look-alike Ilco brand that must be professionally programmed by a local locksmith (click here for Locksmith Search). It comes with lock, unlock and trunk buttons. Dead Coin Battery A dead battery is the most frequent cause of your 500 key fob not working. Modern key fobs have only a limited range of operation and must be within just a few inches of the vehicle in order to work. If you're not close to your vehicle and press the key fob button the car won't be able to respond, and will display a "Key Fob Not Detected" message in the instrument cluster. If this happens, replace the battery in the coin cell (Part number CR2032) with a fresh one from a reputable manufacturer like Panasonic, Duracell, or Energizer. You can find them at the local hardware store or on the internet. You can test the coin-cell battery by pressing the buttons while you are standing close to your Fiat 500. The parking lights should blink and the key fob should operate the lock and unlock switch. If your fob's key doesn't work even after replacing the battery, there may be water damage that prevents it from connecting to the module in your vehicle. Water damage can happen in a number of ways, ranging from small splashes to submerging the fob into salt water at the beach. If you suspect your fob was exposed to water, you can try placing it in a dry rice bag to pull the moisture back out. If this fails, you'll have to get your fob changed by an auto locksmith or a dealer. Water Damage While the fob has some rubber seals to keep water out of the electronic chip inside the device, submerging it into the ocean or washing it in a machine could cause water damage. Saltwater can be particularly harmful to the circuit board of the fob that can cause it to short out and eventually end up dying. The fob getting wet is not an option however, if you drop it into an empty cup of water, or do not remember to remove it from your pants pocket before running the washing machine do not give up hope. Take the battery off first. Before replacing the battery clean the electronic chip using isopropyl or another similar product. Check the fob again to see if it is working. If the fob doesn't work, it may have to be changed. This is usually handled by an auto locksmith or dealer. If your key is old and is not programmed to work with your vehicle, you will need to replace it completely. A professional locksmith for cars can complete this simple process. The locksmith needs to cut the key to match the ignition of your car. They will also need to reprogram the fob for the system of your car. This is a quick and cost-effective process that can usually be completed within the same day. Receiver Module Issues One of the main reasons why your 500 key fob might stop functioning is that it's out of range. The remote has a maximum range of 30 feet. So when you're too far from your car it won't respond to your commands. You can easily remedy this by moving your remote closer to your vehicle until it responds. If your fob won't work after replacing the battery inside the coin, which is also known as a "button", "watch" or "button" or "button", it could be due to an issue with the internal circuit board. Reprogramming your fob can resolve this problem. You can find the procedure for the majority of vehicles on YouTube or in the owner's manual. It's possible that you need to replace the metal clips that hold the coin battery in place. If fiat 500 car keys lose tension, they could stop the battery from being seated properly and can cause the remote to malfunction. In rare cases the fob might become desync'd with your vehicle due to software problems or hardware issues. This can cause a major trouble, but you could usually resolve this issue by visiting an auto locksmith to reprogram your fob. In some cases they might need to reinstall the program in your body control module too. Interference Interference can also cause the key fob to not be able to receive or transmit an signal. This is possible when the key fob is in proximity to the radio transmitter (cell phones and radar detectors) or any other source of electromagnetic radiation. Other reasons the key fob could not function could be due to a weak connection to the buttons and internal chip, or water damage. If your key fob suddenly stopped working, or if you've tried everything at home to fix it (e.g. battery replacement, reprogramming and using the spare key fob, you could have a defective receiver module on your 500. The receiver module is located under the dash and picks up the radio frequency signals from the key fob. It then converts them into electronic commands that the vehicle interprets. There's a quick and easy way to reset the 500's internal system including the keyfob. Disconnect the battery for 15 minutes, removing first the negative cable and then the positive cable. Then reconnect the battery. This will eliminate any remaining electricity, and allow you to restart the computer in your car. This will help you get your key fob working again.
