Dead Coin Battery

A dead battery is the main reason for your Fiat 500 keyfob not locking or unlocking the doors. The coin cell battery in the key fob will drain quickly when you don't utilize it often enough. If your remote began to show signs of weakening such as a loss of range or stopped working completely it is likely that the battery is dead.

The battery in the key fob is held in place with metal clips for retaining. If the clips are loose, they could cause contact issues that will stop your remote from receiving power. Use a flathead screwdriver break open the retaining clip and then remove the old battery. Use a battery that has the same size, voltage and specification as the original.

The key fob could also be damaged or corroded by water exposure. Even a short bath in soapy, warm water can cause damage to the chip. It's best to keep your key fob in a dry environment.

Water Damage

If your key fob isn't working correctly, it could be caused by water damage. The rubber seals on key fobs keep them from getting damaged by a small drizzle or splash of water. However, it's crucial to keep your keys out of the washing machine, the ocean and pool.

The key fob contains an electronic chip that transmits an alert to the immobilizer of your car. The chip allows the 500 to start and lock. If it gets wet, however it will not function.

If you're looking to determine whether your key fob functional you can clean the internal electronics with isopropyl or an electronic cleaner. However, it's best to get a replacement from a dealer instead of trying to fix an item that was submerged in salt water.

While a replacement fob could cost you a bit of money, it's much cheaper than paying for your Fiat 500 to be towed to a dealership and fixed! You could also do it yourself by following just a few steps. Be sure to have the correct battery type before attempting to open your keyfob. There are step-by-step directions for any car keyfob on the internet.

Faulty Chip

The chip in the key fob communicates to your car's immobiliser unit to ensure your car is only capable of starting when the correct key is used. If the chip is damaged, or corrupted in any way it will not start.

A damaged chip could occur due to a variety of reasons but most commonly due to water damage or a dead battery. Regardless of the reason, it is recommended to delegate this task to a locksmith, as they can replace the chip for you quickly and at a reasonable cost.

If your key fob stops working after exposure to clean water from the tap or rain, take out the battery and wipe down the electronic component with a towel to ensure it is fully dry before putting it back in. If the key fob will not function, there is the possibility that it has a fried component and needs to be replaced.

A few people will visit their dealer if they need a new Fiat fob. But, this can be costly. United Locksmith is the best option if you want your Fiat keyfob repaired at a reasonable cost. We have the tools and expertise necessary to fix your Fiat key fob in a quick and professional manner.

Faulty Receiver Module

Fiat key fobs send an electrical signal to the vehicle which will unlock and lock doors (and start the car for those with an automatic transmission) up to 50 feet. There are a variety of reasons why the fob might stop working. This includes a dead coin battery or water damage or worn buttons and a receiver module issue and signal interference or an electronic chip that has failed.

If the fob has been placed in a pocket that suffered a severe trauma, like being dropped on hard floors or being washed in a wash machine or dishwasher, it might not be able to communicate with the car's Body Control Module (BCM). This is because the BCM is secured and will only accept a signal from a genuine key and not another.

If this is the case, then you have to replace your fob. A professional locksmith can handle the entire key replacement process including programming a brand new key for your 500. In fact, they can even provide you with a clone key that functions exactly the same way as your original fob (and costs less than the cost).
