Dead Coin Battery

A dead battery is the main reason for your Fiat 500 keyfob not locking or unlocking the doors. The battery of the coin cell inside the key fob will deplete quickly in the event that you don't use frequently 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.

Metal clips keep the battery securely within the key fob. If the clips are not tightly secured, they could result in contact issues that prevent the remote from receiving power. Use a flathead screwdriver to open the retaining clips and remove the battery. Be sure to choose a replacement with the same kind of voltage, the same size and specifications as the original battery.

Water exposure can cause the key fob to corrode or become damaged. Even a quick bath in soapy water may damage the electronic chip inside. Make sure your key fob is dry.

If your key fob isn't working properly, it may be caused by water damage. Key fobs come with rubber seals that protect them from being damaged by a light rain or a splash of water, but it is very important to keep your car keys out of the pool, ocean and washing machine!

The key fob contains an electronic chip inside it that sends a signal car's immobilizer system. This is what allows your 500 to start or lock, but if the chip gets wet, it will no longer function.

Try cleaning the inside electronics of your keyfob with isopropyl Alcohol or an electronic cleaner to determine whether they're still in good condition. It is best to replace the key fob if it has been submerged into salt water rather than attempting to fix it yourself.

Faulty Receiver Module

Fiat key fobs transmit signals up to 50 feet to the vehicle, which will unlock and lock the doors (and start the vehicle for vehicles with automatic transmissions). There are a variety of reasons why a fob could not function. This can be caused by a dead coin-battery, water damage, worn-out buttons an issue with the receiver, signal interference, or a malfunctioning chip.

If the fob has been stored in a place that has been subject to extreme trauma, such as being dropped on a hard floor or being washed in a washing machine or dishwasher, it might not be able to communicate with the car's Body Control Module (BCM). This is because the BCM is a secure system that will only accept a signal from a genuine original key and not any other.

You will need to replace the fob if this happens. A professional locksmith can handle all aspects of the key replacement procedure and can even program a brand new one for your 500.
