Fiat 500 Replacement Key Fob

If your 500 remote key fob has stopped functioning, it could be time to replace the battery. If you replace the battery, but it still doesn't work the issue could be somewhere else.

At United Locksmith, we specialize in making new keys for old automobiles. We have the tools and parts required for this type of service.

Dead Coin Battery

The most frequent reason why your Fiat 500 key fob will not unlock or lock the doors is a dead battery. The coin cell battery in the key fob will drain quickly when you don't utilize frequently enough. If your remote has started to show signs of loss in range or stopped working or not responding, then the battery could be dead.

G28 Car Keys hold the battery in in the key fob. If the clips aren't tightly secured, they could result in contact issues that prevent your remote to receive power. Use a flathead screwdriver pry open the retaining clip and remove the battery. Use a battery that has the same voltage, size and specification as the original.

Exposure to water can cause the key fob to corrode or be damaged. Even a short bath in warm, soapy water could cause damage to the chip. It is recommended to keep your key fob in a dry location.





Water Damage

Damage to your water supply could be the cause of your key fob's inability to function properly. The rubber seals on key fobs protect them from being damaged by a light drizzle or splash of water. However, it's essential to keep the keys from the ocean, washing machine, and pool.

The key fob comes with an electronic chip in it that sends a signal car's immobilizer system. The chip allows the 500 to start and lock. If it gets wet it will cease to function.

If you're interested in checking if your key fob is still functioning it is possible to clean the internal electronics with isopropyl or electronic cleaner. It is best to replace the key fob if it has been submerged into salt water rather than attempting to repair it yourself.

While a replacement fob could cost a bit of money, it is much less expensive than paying for your Fiat 500 to be towed to the dealer for repair! Plus, you can do it yourself with the simplest of steps. Just ensure you have the correct battery type before you attempt to open your key fob. This is a job that's much easier than it looks, and you can find step-by-step directions online for almost any key fob for your car.

Faulty Chip

The chip in the key fob communicates to your vehicle's immobiliser to ensure that the vehicle is only able to start when the correct key is used. If the chip is damaged or corrupted, your car won't start no matter what you do.

Damage to the water or a dead phone battery are the most frequent causes of an unreliable chip. Regardless of the reason, it is best to delegate the job to a locksmith, as they will be able to replace the chip fast and at a low cost.

If your key fob does not work after exposure to clean water from a tap or rain then remove the battery. Clean the electronic component using an old towel. If the key fob does not function, there's an opportunity that it is malfunctioning components and need to be replaced.

Some people will go to their dealer when in need of a new Fiat key fob, but this can be a very costly alternative. If you are seeking a cost-effective method to get your Fiat key fob repaired Look no further than United Locksmith. We have all the equipment and know-how to fix your Fiat fob in a professional and timely way.

Faulty Receiver Module

Fiat key fobs send signals of up to 50 feet to the vehicle, which allows it to unlock and close the doors (and start the vehicle in case of automatic transmissions). There are a variety of reasons why the fob may not function. It could be due to a dead battery, water damage buttons, worn ones, a receiver module issue or signal interference, or a malfunctioning electronic chip.

If the fob was in the pocket of someone who has suffered severe trauma (such as being dropped onto the floor or washed in the washer), it may not be in a position to connect with the Body Control Module (BCM) of the vehicle. The BCM is a security system which will only accept signals from genuine keys.

It is necessary to replace the fob in case this happens. A professional locksmith will manage the entire key replacement process including programming a new one for your 500. In fact, they could offer you a clone key that functions the same way as the original fob (and costs only a fraction of the price).
