Dead Coin Battery

A dead battery is the most common reason for your 500 key fob not working. Key fobs of today have an operating range that is limited and must be within just a few inches of the vehicle to function. If you're not close to your vehicle, and you press the key fob button, the car will not respond, and will display a "Key Fob Not Detected" message in the instrument cluster.

If this happens, replace the battery on your coin cell (Part number CR2032) with a brand new one from a trusted brand like Panasonic, Duracell, or Energizer. They are typically available at your local hardware store or online.

After you've replaced the battery of your coin cell you can test it by standing near your Fiat 500 and pressing the buttons. The parking lights will flash and the key fob will operate the lock and unlock switch.

If your key fob does not work after replacing the battery, it could be water damage that is preventing it from connecting to the module inside your vehicle. Water damage can happen in many ways, such as a simple splash or submerging your key fob in saltwater at the beach. If you suspect that your fob has been exposed to water, put it in a bag of rice to draw out the moisture. If this does not work, you'll need to have your fob changed by an auto locksmith or dealer.

Water Damage

Damage to the water supply can occur if you submerge the fob in the ocean or wash it in a washer. Saltwater can be particularly harmful to the fob's circuit board, causing it to short out and eventually end up dying. It's not a good thing to let the fob get wet but don't give up in the event that you accidentally drop it in water, or fail to take it out of your pocket.

First, remove the battery from the fob. Before replacing the battery clean the electronic chip with isopropyl or a similar product. Next check the fob to see if it works. If the key does not work, it might need to be reset. This is usually done by a dealer or professional auto locksmith.

If the key is a newer model and has not been programmed to your car, it will likely need to be replaced completely. A professional locksmith for automotive can do this job. The locksmith will require the key cut to match your vehicle's ignition. They'll also need to reprogram the fob for the car's system. This is a cheap and quick process that could be completed on the same day.

Receiver Module Issues

One of the main reasons your 500 key fob could stop working is that it's simply out of range. The remote has a range of 30 feet, so should you be too far away from your vehicle it won't be able to respond to your commands. You can easily remedy this by moving your remote closer to your car until it responds.

If your fob won't work after you replace the battery for the coin, also known as a "button", "watch" or "button" It could be due to a problem with the internal circuit board. In most cases, reprogramming the fob will fix the problem. You can find the steps for the majority of vehicles on YouTube or in the owner's guide.

It is sometimes necessary to replace the metal clips that hold the coin batteries in the correct position. If they loose tension they could stop the coin battery from sitting properly, and this will cause the remote to malfunction.


In rare instances, the fob could be out of alignment with your vehicle because of hardware or software issues. It is possible to fix this issue by visiting your local auto-locksmith or dealer to reprogram your key fob. In certain instances it is possible that the software will need to be reinstalled in your body control modules.

Interference

Interference can also cause the key fob to not receive or transmit the signal. This can happen when the key fob is located near an electronic radio transmitter (cell phones or radar detectors) or another source of electromagnetic radiation. The key fob could not function because of a weak connection with the buttons water damage or damage to the internal chips.

If the key fob has failed to work one day suddenly or even after trying every option at home to fix it e.g. It could be a defective 500 receiver module after you've tried replacing the battery, reprogramming, or using an alternative key fob. The receiver module, which is located under the dashboard, receives radio frequency signals from your key fob. It converts the signals into electronic commands, which are then interpreted by the vehicle.

There is a straightforward method to reset the 500's onboard system, including the keyfob. Disconnect the battery for 15 minutes, removing first the negative cable and then the positive cable. Then reconnect the battery. This will remove any remaining electrical charge and restart the car's computer system, which could help the key fob to function again. If the issue continues you should speak with an expert technician. They'll be able to identify the root cause of your problems.
