Reasons Your Fiat 500 Key Fob Won't Work

A key fob for the fiat bravo key 500 is a convenient method to unlock the doors and start the car. However, there are a variety of reasons the fob could stop working. This includes a dead battery and water damage, as well as problems with receiver modules, as well as interference.

This listing is for a NEW replacement Fiat Flip Key Remote that is similar to the Ilco brand. It has to be professionally programmed (click here to find local locksmiths in the automotive industry). It comes with lock, unlock and trunk buttons.

Dead Coin Battery

The most frequent reason that your 500 key fob will not function is due to a dead battery. Modern key fobs have a limited operating range and should be within a few feet of the vehicle to operate. If you're far away from your vehicle and press the key fob button, the car won't respond, and will display the "Key Fob Not Detected" message in the instrument cluster.

If this happens then replace the battery for your coin-cell (Part Number CR2032) by a fresh one of a trusted brand like Panasonic Duracell or Energizer. You can find them at the local hardware store or on the internet.

You can test the battery of your coin-cell by pressing the buttons while standing close to your fiat 500x key 500. The car will blink its parking lights and the key fob should be able to operate the lock and unlock switches.

If the fob's remote doesn't function after replacing the battery, it may be damaged by water, which prevents it from communicating with the receiver module in your vehicle. Water damage can occur in a variety of ways, from a light splash to submerging the fob in salt water at the beach. If you suspect that your fob was exposed to water, place it in a bag of rice to draw out the moisture. If this does not work, you'll need to have the fob changed by an auto locksmith or dealer.

Water Damage

Damage to the water supply can occur if you submerge the fob in the ocean, or wash it in a machine. Saltwater can be particularly harmful to the circuit board of the fob that can cause it to short out and eventually end up dying. If you get the fob wet, it's not an ideal choice but if you accidentally drop it in a glass of water or don't remember to remove it from your pants pocket before running the washer, don't give up hope.

First remove the battery from the fob. Before replacing the battery, clean the electronic chip using isopropyl, or a similar product. Check the fob again to determine if it's working. If the fob doesn't work then it might need to be programmed again. This is typically handled by a professional or dealer auto locksmith.

If the key is more recent and has never been programmed to your car, it will likely need to be replaced completely. This is a straightforward process that can be handled by a professional automotive locksmith. The locksmith will require the key cut to match the car's ignition. They will also need to reprogram the fob to the car's system. This is a quick and cost-effective process that can usually be completed within the same day.

Receiver Module Issues

One of the most common reasons why your 500 key fob could stop working is because it's out of range. The remote usually has 30 feet of range or less and if it's far away from your car it will not respond to your commands. It is possible to remedy this by moving your remote closer to your car until it responds.

If your fob doesn't work after you replace the battery inside the coin, which is also called a "button", "watch" or "button" or "button", it may be due to a malfunction on the internal circuit board. In most cases, reprogramming the fob can resolve the problem. You can find the instructions on how to get a replacement key for fiat 500 to do this for all automobiles by searching YouTube or checking out the owner's manual.

You may have to replace the metal retaining clips that hold the coin battery in place. If they loose tension, it may prevent your battery from being properly seated, causing your remote to malfunction.

In rare cases the fob might be out of sync with your vehicle because of hardware or software problems. This can cause a major trouble, but you could usually fix it by visiting a local dealer or auto locksmith to have them reprogram your fob for you. In some cases, they may need to reinstall the software on your body control module too.

Interference

Interference can also cause the key fob to not receive or transmit signals. This may happen if the keyfob is in close proximity to a radio transmitter such as a cell phone or radar detector. Other reasons why the key fob may not function may be a lack of connection to the buttons and internal chip or water damage.

If the key fob has suddenly stopped working, in the middle of the night or even after trying everything you can at home to fix it e.g. You might have a damaged 500 receiver module in the event that you've tried replacing the battery, reprogramming, or using an alternative key fob. The receiver module is situated under the dash and receives the radio frequency signals from the key fob. It converts the signals into electronic commands that are then processed by the vehicle.

There's a quick and easy way to reset the 500's onboard system, including the keyfob. Disconnect the battery for 15 minutes by removing first the negative cable, then the positive cable. Reconnect the battery. This will eliminate any remaining electric current, and also restart the car's computer. This could help you get your key fob to work again. If the problem persists you should speak with an expert technician. They will be able to determine the exact cause of issues.
