Once the fob has been repaired, it should function as normal. If it does not work, you may have to re-program it or replace the module. Radio Interference If a keyfob works properly, it broadcasts a radio frequency that is received by a module inside your car. If the signal is disrupted the key fob will not work. This could be due objects, weather conditions or other transmitters operating within the same frequency band near your vehicle. This can cause your key fob not to be able to trigger the vehicle's functions such as the ignition switch or the security system. It is recommended to replace your key fob's battery. Some LED lighting aftermarket which uses the same frequency as key fobs for remote control can interfere with the signal, stopping it from reaching receiver modules. The LED lighting must be switched off or changed to a different frequency to prevent interference. If you've just replaced the battery on your key fob but the issue persists, it is likely that the antenna on your key fob is damaged or not functioning properly. This is because the antenna is responsible for transmitting a signal from the key fob to the receiver module. Using an OBDII scanner can assist in diagnosing the problem by telling you what is wrong with the system. The scanner will ask you for details about your vehicle including the model, make engine type, VIN number. Faulty Receiver Module The key fob contains an electronic receiver that sends the signals needed to lock and unlock. If the receiver module is damaged that causes it to fail, the entire onboard electronics will stop working. Reprogramming the keyfob using an OBDII scan or replacing it might help. This issue can be caused by a dead coin cell battery or a water damage or signal interference. You can reset the onboard computer if you disconnect the 12 Volt batteries for 15 mins. This will flush out any residual electricity that could be causing issues. Begin by removing the cable from the negative terminal of the battery first, followed by the positive terminal. After 15 minutes, connect your battery in reverse order. First, positive and then negative the next. Dirt or water can damage the internal chip of the key fob. If your key fob stopped working after getting wet, wipe it with isopropyl or electronic cleaner. Then reinstall the battery. If it is not working after exposure to soapy or salty water the chip may be damaged and should be replaced. A damaged antenna module fuse could also be the reason. This is the fuse that transmits an indication to the vehicle to lock or unlock. Based on the model you have, the fuse is located in a variety of places like the engine bay, to the left of the dashboard, under the rear seat, or trunk.
