Dead Coin Battery

A dead battery is the primary reason for your Fiat 500 keyfob not locking or unlocking the doors. The key fob contains an internal battery called a coin cell that is prone to draining quickly if it is not frequently used. If your remote began to show signs of weakness 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 secured by metal clips that retain it. If the clips are not tight, they can cause problems with the contact, which can stop your remote to receive power. By using a small flathead screwdriver, push the retaining clip open to remove the battery and replace it with a new one. Make sure to select an alternative battery that has the same type of voltage, size, and specification as the original battery.

The key fob could also be damaged or corroded by exposure to water. Even a short shower in soapy water can harm the electronic chip in. It is recommended to keep your key fob in a dry area.

Water Damage

Water damage may be the cause of your key fob's not functioning properly. The rubber seals on key fobs keep them from getting damaged by a slight splash or drizzle of water. However, it's important to keep the keys from the washing machine, the ocean and pool.

The key fob is equipped with an electronic chip in it that transmits a signal to your car's immobilizer system. The chip is what allows the 500 to be locked and started. If it gets wet it will not function.

If you want to check if your key fob is functional it is possible to clean the internal electronics with isopropyl or electronic cleaner. It is recommended to replace the key fob if it is submerged in salt water rather than attempting to repair it yourself.

This is a job that's much simpler than it appears and you can find step-by-step instructions online for virtually any key fob for cars.

Faulty Chip

The chip inside the key fob communicates with the immobiliser in your vehicle to ensure that the vehicle will only start when the correct keys are used. If the chip is damaged or damaged in any way the car won't start.

Faulty Receiver Module

Fiat key fobs transmit an alert up 50 feet to the vehicle, which allows it to unlock and lock the doors (and start the vehicle for those with automatic transmissions). There are many reasons why the fob could stop working. These include a dead coin battery or water damage, worn buttons and a receiver module issue or signal interference, or a malfunctioning electronic chip.

If the fob is in a pocket that has endured extreme trauma, such as being dropped on a hard floor or getting washed in a washing machine, it may not be capable of communicating with the car's Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is a security device that will only accept signals from genuine original keys.

You'll need to replace the fob in case this happens. A professional locksmith will handle the entire replacement process including programming a new key for your 500. They can even offer the fob cloned to work the same as the original (and costs one-third of what it would cost).
