replace it with a new CR2025 one at your local grocery store Be aware that defective or defective batteries could cause damage to the key fob Make sure that the battery you replace is the same size and voltage and that it is the same specification If your fob was exposed to clean water like rainwater or soapy tap water it is likely that corrosion has caused damage to the chips electronic components You could try cleaning the chip using isopropyl alcohol or an electronic cleaner to test if it helps but it is most likely that the chip has been damaged and fried A new key fob is the easiest solution Major car dealers sell them and they can be installed by a skilled mechanic You can also purchase them online such as on eBay The best thing to do is to work on a flat surface that has adequate lighting It makes it easier to work with the small parts This also helps you to avoid placing anything back in the wrong spot Always work on the key fob in a secured and safe area Water Damage If your key fob gets wet from dropping it into the pool or slipping it in the wash you might think its over but theres still hope When the circuit board in the fob is exposed to water it turns into an electrical conductor which shorts the components It also speeds up corrosion and rust This is an easy fix Find something absorbent to put inside the fob A paper towel or tissue will work Make seat keys of a cotton swab and isopropyl for cleaning the circuit board and any other components Allow the circuit board to air dry in a dry warm environment for several weeks Replace the battery after the fob has dried with a fresh one that is the same dimensions and polarity pointing upwards It can be difficult to open the fob in order to access the battery however if you have a small flathead screwdriver available it should be able to slide into easily Once the fob has been put back together it should work just as normal If it doesnt work youll have to reprogramme it or replace the receiver module Radio Interference If a key fob is working correctly it sends the radio frequency signal which is received by the receiver module inside your car If the signal is not received your key fob wont function This could be due to objects weather conditions or other transmitters operating within the same frequency band close to your vehicle In this case it is best to replace the battery in your key fob In this case it would be best to replace the battery inside your key fob Some aftermarket LED lighting that uses the same frequency as the remote key fob may interfere with the signal preventing it from reaching the receiver modules The LEDs light source must be turned off or switched to a different frequency in order to be able to avoid interference If the issue is still present after replacing the battery the antenna on your key fob may be damaged or malfunctioning This is significant since the antenna is responsible for transmitting a signal from the key fob to the receiver module The OBDII scanner is able to assist in diagnosing the problem by telling you what is wrong with the system The scanner will request details about your particular vehicle like the model and make as well as the engine type and VIN number Faulty Receiver Module The key fob is equipped with a receiver module that transmits the signals for locking and unlock All electronic components on board will stop working if this module develops a problem Reprogramming the key fob using an OBDII scan or replacing it might help This issue can be caused by a dead coincell or a water damage or signal interference You can try resetting the onboard computer by disconnecting the 12 volt battery for 15 minutes This will remove any remaining power that could cause issues The cable should be removed first from the negative terminal then from the positive terminal After 15 minutes connect the battery in reverse order first positive second Dirt and water can affect the internal chip inside the key fob If your key quit working when it was wet clean the electronic component with isopropyl ethanol or an electronic cleaner prior to reinstalling the battery If the key stops working after being exposed to salted or soapy water its likely that the chip has become fried and needs to be replaced A defective fuse for the antenna module may also be the cause Its the fuse that transmits an electronic signal to the vehicle to lock or unlock The fuse can be located in several places depending on the type of vehicle For instance it could be beneath the rear seat or in the trunk or on the side of the dashboard
