Fiat 500 Replacement Key Fob

It might be time to change the battery if your 500 remote key fob is not working. However, if you replace the battery but it is still not working it is probably elsewhere.

At United Locksmith, we specialize in the creation of new keys for old automobiles. We have all of the tools and components needed to perform this service.

Dead Coin Battery

The most common reason why your Fiat 500 key fob will not unlock or lock the doors is a dead battery. ignition switch comes with an in-built battery that can quickly deplete when it isn't utilized frequently enough. If your remote began to show signs of weakness such as a loss in range or stopped working completely it is likely that the battery is dead.

Metal clips keep the battery in in the key fob. If the clips are loose, they can cause contact issues, which could prevent your remote from receiving power. Use a flathead screwdriver to remove the retaining clip and then remove the old battery. Use a battery that has the same voltage, size, and specifications as the original.

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

Water Damage

Water damage may be the cause of your key fob not working properly. 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 the keys from the ocean, washing machine, and the pool.

The key fob has an electronic chip inside it that sends a signal car's immobilizer system. The chip is what allows the 500 to lock and start. If it gets wet it won't function.

Try cleaning the inside of your key fob's electronics with isopropyl Alcohol or an electronic cleaner to determine whether they're still working. It is best to replace the key fob if it has been submerged into salt water rather than try to repair it yourself.

While a replacement fob can cost a bit of money, it's far less expensive than having to pay for your Fiat 500 to be towed to the dealer and repaired!

This is a job that's much simpler than it appears and you can find step-bystep instructions on the internet for nearly any key fob for cars.

Faulty Chip

The chip inside the key fob communicates with your car's immobiliser system to ensure your car is only able to start when the correct key is inserted. If the chip is damaged, or damaged in any way it will not start.

A damaged chip could occur due to many reasons, but the most common cause is water damage or a dead battery. Whatever the reason, it is recommended to delegate this work to a locksmith, as they will be able to repair the chip fast and at a cost-effective price.

If your key fob ceases to function after exposure to clean tap water or rain, unplug the battery and wipe down the electronic component using a paper towel to ensure it is fully dry before putting it back into. If the key fob does not function, there is a chance that it has a fried component and needs to be replaced.

If you are seeking a cost-effective method to get your Fiat key fob fixed then look no further than United Locksmith.

Faulty Receiver Module





Fiat key fobs send signals up to 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 several reasons why the fob could stop working. These include a dead coin battery or water damage, worn buttons as well as a receiver module problem, and signal interference or a malfunctioning electronic chip.

If the fob has been stored in a place that has experienced extreme trauma, such as falling on hard floor or being washed in a wash machine, it may not be able to communicate with the car's Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is a security system which will only accept signals from genuine original keys.

If this is the case, then you have to replace your fob. A professional locksmith will manage the entire replacement process including programming a new key to your 500. In fact, they'll provide you with a duplicate key that functions exactly the same as the original fob (and costs less than the price).
