Reasons Your fiat 500x key fob programming 500 Key Fob Won't Work

A key fob from Fiat 500 is a handy way to open the doors and start the car. There are many reasons why the fob could stop working. It could be due to a dead battery damage to the receiver module, water issues, and interference.

This listing is for a NEW replacement fiat panda key Flip Key Remote - like the Ilco brand that must be programmed professionally by a local locksmith (click here for Locksmith Search). Includes lock, Fiat Panda Key unlock, and trunk buttons.

Dead Coin Battery

A dead battery is probably the most common cause of your 500 key fob being inoperative. Modern key fobs come with a limited operating range, and should be within some feet of the car to operate. If you're far from your vehicle, and you press the key fob button the car won't respond and will display an "Key Fob Not Detected" message in the instrument cluster.

If this happens, replace the battery of your coin cell (Part number CR2032) with a new one from a reputable manufacturer such as Panasonic, Duracell, or Energizer. You can find them in your local hardware store or on the internet.

After you've replaced the battery in the coin cell You can test it by standing next to your Fiat 500 and pressing the buttons. The parking lights should blink and the key fob should operate the lock and unlock switches.

If your key fob still isn't working even after replacing the battery, it could be water damage that prevents it from connecting to the module in your vehicle. Water damage can occur in a variety of ways, such as an easy splash or submerging the key fob into saltwater at the beach. If you suspect your fob was exposed to water, try placing it in a dry rice bag to pull the moisture back out. If this doesn't work, you will need to have your fob replaced by an auto locksmith or dealer.

Water Damage

The fob does have rubber seals to keep water from the electronic chip inside, submerging it in the ocean or washing it in a machine could cause water damage. Saltwater is especially dangerous to the fob's circuit board which causes it to short out and eventually die. It's not a good idea to soak the fob in water however, but don't give it up if you accidentally drop it in water, or fail to remove it from your pocket.

First, remove the battery. Clean the electronic chip using isopropyl ethanol or a similar product and dry it thoroughly before replacing the battery. Then check the fob to see if it works. If the key isn't working it could need to be reprogrammed. This is typically handled by a professional or dealer auto locksmith.

If the key is older and has never been programmed to your vehicle it is likely to need to be replaced completely. A professional locksmith for automotive will be able to complete this process. The locksmith will have to cut the key to match the ignition of your car. The locksmith will also have to reprogram the fob into the vehicle's system. This is a simple and affordable process that can usually be completed within the same day.

Receiver Module Issues

One of the simplest reasons why your 500 key fob could stop functioning is because it's out of range. The remote has a maximum range of 30 feet. So if you are too far away from your vehicle it won't respond to your commands. You can fix this by moving the remote closer to your vehicle until it responds.

If your fob doesn't work after you replace the coin battery, also known as a "button", "watch" or "button", it could be a problem with the circuit board inside. In the majority of cases, reprogramming your fob will fix the issue. The instructions are available for most vehicles on YouTube or in the owner's guide.

You may have to replace the metal retaining clips that keep the battery of your coin in place. If they lose tension it could prevent your coin battery from sitting properly and cause your remote to malfunction.

In rare instances, the fob may be out of the vehicle's sync because of hardware or software problems. This can cause a major trouble, but you could frequently fix this issue by visiting an auto locksmith to have them reprogram your fob for you. In some cases they may have to reinstall the program in your body control module as well.

Interference

In addition to a dead coin battery the key fob could not be able to transmit or receive a signal due to interference. This can happen when the key fob is in proximity to an electronic radio transmitter (cell phones or radar detectors) or another source of electromagnetic radiation. The key fob might not function because of a problem to the buttons, water damage or damage to the internal chips.

If the key fob suddenly stopped working, out of the blue or even after trying everything you can do at home to solve it e.g. You may have a faulty 500 receiver module after you've tried replacing the battery, reprogramming it, or using a spare key fob. The receiver module, located beneath the dashboard, is able to pick up radio frequency signals from your key fob. It converts the signals into electronic commands that are then read by the vehicle.

There is a simple way to reset the 500's in-board system, including the keyfob. Disconnect the battery for 15 minutes, removing first the negative cable, then the positive cable. Then, reconnect the battery. This will get rid of any remaining electricity and then restart the car's computer system, which could allow you to the key fob to function again. If the problem persists you should speak with an experienced technician. They will be able to determine the exact cause of any problems.
