seat arona key cover Fob Replacement for the Seat ibiza car key replacement Ibiza

The refreshed fifth-generation seat ibiza key fob not working is an interesting contender in the supermini segment. It competes with the Renault Clio, Peugeot 208 and Ford Fiesta.

Use a small flat-head screwdriver or a thumbnail (A) to break open the battery compartment cover of the key fob (B). Replace the CR2025 coin battery by ensuring it is fitted in the correct direction and polarity.

Dead Coin Battery

A dead battery for a coin is the most typical cause of a key fob that isn't locking or unlocking your car. It is likely to show indications before it dies, like a decrease in range or no power at any time. It is simple to replace with a brand new one (CR2025) from a local supermarket. You should be aware that using the wrong or non-compatible batteries could cause damage to your key fob. Make sure that the battery you replace has the same size and voltage and has the same specification.

If your fob was exposed to clean water, like rain or soapy tap water, it is likely that the electronic chip inside has been damaged by corrosion. You can try cleaning the chip with isopropyl Alcohol or an electronic cleaner to check if it works but it is more likely that the chip has been fried.

The simplest solution is to purchase a new key fob. Most major car dealers sell key fobs and they can be installed by a skilled mechanic. You can also purchase them online, like on eBay. The best option is to work on a flat, level surface with adequate lighting. This will make it easier to work on the small parts inside. This will also help you to avoid putting things back in the wrong place. Always work on the key fob in a secure and safe place.

Water Damage

If your fob's key gets soaked by dropping it in the pool or by slipping it in the washing machine, you may think it's a goner but there's a chance. The problem is when the circuit board in the fob comes in contact with water - it is a great conductor and shorts out components. It also speeds up the process of corrosion and rust.

This is an easy solution. Find something absorbent to put inside the fob. A tissue or paper towel would be a good choice. Then, use the cotton swab, dipped in isopropyl ethanol to wipe down the circuit board and other components to remove any residue of battery acid and contamination. Let the fob air dry in a warm, dry environment for a few weeks.

Replace the battery once the fob has dried with a fresh one that has the same size and the same polarity ('+' (pointing upwards). It is a challenge to open up the fob to reach the battery, but if have a small flat-head screwdriver at hand, it will slide in easily. Once the fob has been reassembled it should function like a normal. If it doesn't work, you'll have to reprogramme it or replace the receiver module.

Radio Interference

If a key-fob is functioning correctly, it transmits a radio frequency signal that is received by the receiver module inside your car. However, if the signal is damaged in some way the key fob won't function as expected. This can be caused by objects, weather conditions, or other transmitters operating at the same frequency close to your car.

This could cause your key fob's button to not work the vehicle's systems, such as the ignition switch or the security system. It is recommended to replace the battery of your key fob.

Some aftermarket LED lighting that uses the same frequency as a remote key fob might interfere with the signal, preventing it from reaching the receiver modules. To avoid interference, the LED lights must be turned off or to a different frequency.

If the issue is still present after installing a new battery, the antenna of the key fob might be damaged or is malfunctioning. The antenna is responsible for transmitting a signal between the key fob and the receiver module. The OBDII scanner is able to aid in identifying the issue by revealing what's wrong with the system. The scanner will ask to provide information about your vehicle, including the make, model and engine type as well as the VIN number.

Faulty Receiver Module

The key fob comes with an electronic receiver that transmits signals for locking and unlocking. If the receiver module fails and the on-board electronics will cease to function. If this happens it is possible to reprogramme the module using an OBDII scanner or replacing the key fob could assist.

This issue can be caused by a dead coin cell battery or water damage, or signal interference. You can reset your on-board computer if you disconnect the 12 Volt batteries for 15 minutes. This will drain any residual electrical energy that could be causing issues. Take the cable off first of the negative terminal, then the positive terminal. After 15 minutes, reconnect your battery in reverse order. First, positive and then negative, and finally negative.

The internal chip inside the key fob can be damaged by dirt or water. If the key fob you purchased stopped working after being wet, wash it with isopropyl or electronic cleaner. After that, replace the battery. If it stopped working after exposure to salty or soapy water the chip may be damaged and must be replaced.

A defective fuse for the antenna module could be a cause. This is the fuse that transmits an indication to the vehicle to lock or unlock. The fuse could be found in various places, based on the type of vehicle. For example it could be under the rear seat ibiza key fob, or in the trunk, or the side of the dashboard.
