Dead Coin Battery If your key fob isn't functioning and you can't reprogram it, the most likely cause is an inoperative battery.

Be aware that if you replace the battery incorrectly, or using a battery not suitable, it could harm the remote. Always replace the battery with one of the same voltage, size and specification as the original. If your key fob was submerged in water you might also need to clean the chip prior to replacing the battery. It's especially important if it was dropped into the ocean, or soapy water. This should be done immediately since exposure to water could damage the chip's electronic circuit and cause your key fob to stop working. Worn Buttons Seat Ibiza keys stop working most often due to the battery that powers the coin is dead. It's a straightforward fix that will take only some minutes. Key fobs can also cease to function if the buttons are worn. This is another easy fix, and requires you to swap the old keyshell for a new one.

This is typically the case when your key fob is placed in the rain or drops into the pool. If the key fob won't work after replacing it or reprogramming it or reprogramming it, the receiver module could be faulty. Water Damage The rubber seals on the key fob prevent water from getting into the chip. This doesn't stop occasional splash. If you've survived a wash cycle or an ocean swim the chip could be damaged.

If the chip is fried it is necessary to replace it with a brand new one. If your key fob still does not work after changing the battery and reprogramming it, there could be due to a issue with the receiver module. This is the component in the car that receives signals from the key fob and relays them to the key ignition system. If you have a spare key fob you can test it. This should make the ignition system light turn on and the central locking switch activate. If this does not happen, the receiver module is not working properly. This is a costly fix but can be rectified by a professional at your local garage. Radio Interference If your car's radio appears to be acting oddly or the key fob is not working it could be caused by an interference problem with the receiver module in the key. Seat parts can be used to provide a replacement key that has a new receiver. To replace the battery, remove the key and gently lift the cover of the key fob's compartment for the battery with your thumb or a screwdriver made of flat heads. Remove the old CR2025 and replace it with a brand new battery, ensuring that the polarity of the battery is correct. You can also use an ordinary key with transponder chips that were previously on a worn or damaged key. This can be cut off and coded to your car in the event of need. Faulty Receiver Module The receiver module is the part on the key fob, which transmits radio signals to your vehicle. The module could be faulty if the fob stops functioning. You can determine this with an OBDII scanner tool, or by reaching out to your dealer. Other devices that operate on the same frequency could interfere with the remote keyless entry system. This can include mobile phones, electrical devices, and even some household appliances. If the key fob is exposed to pure tap water, it might be possible for you to clean the chip using paper towels and isopropyl alcohol. If the fob is submerged in soapy or salt water or is placed on a wet floor for prolonged periods, this is likely to cause damage and it will likely require replacement. To replace the battery on your key fob, use the thumb nail or flat-head screwdriver to open the cover of the button cell battery compartment (B).
