Peugeot 308 Key Fob Problems and How to Fix Them
If your Peugeot 308 key fob stopped working one day, it could be due to a dead battery in the coin, water damage and receiver module issues or a damaged electronic chip. Fortunately, these issues are easy to fix and you'll have your vehicle back to normal in no time!
Car keys can also be damaged because the blade of the key gets worn. You can fix the issue by visiting your local Car Key Man Auto Locksmith to get a new blade installed.
Battery
The battery that powers the key fob on your Peugeot 308 can sometimes die or become insufficient to send an effective signal to the car. This can cause the key fob to stop working which prevents you from locking and opening the doors or starting your engine. To fix this, you'll need to replace the battery on the key fob.
You can buy a brand new battery at an auto parts store or at your local hardware store. When you purchase the battery make sure that it's brand new and hasn't been on the shelf for a long time. A new battery has more capacity and can send a stronger signal your vehicle.
After replacing the battery If you have a new battery, try unlocking and locking the doors of your Peugeot with the key fob. If the doors aren't unlocking it's likely that the issue lies with the car's receiver module which can be changed by your local Peugeot dealer.
The internal chip of the key fob may also be damaged. This could happen when you drop your key fob on the ground or expose it to water. Rubber seals that protect your chip from moisture could wear out over time. This is especially true when you expose your key fob to water for prolonged periods of time, like submerging it at the beach in the ocean. To avoid this it is recommended to keep your key fob free of the reach of moisture and away from water.
Water Damage
Don't lose hope on your key fob when it becomes wet, whether you slipped into the pool or stumbled into a puddle. The key fob is protected by rubber seals, but prolonged exposure to water could cause damage to its electronic chip. Since water is such a good conductor, any water that gets inside the key fob can cause a chain of short circuits that will eventually ruin the chip. After removing the battery clean its contacts with isopropyl ethanol and dry it completely before putting it back into.
Your Peugeot 308 may not start because of an unresponsive battery. Jumper cables can be a great option to restart the engine in case you have an additional car. If the battery is faulty and needs to be replaced, it should be replaced.
A poor receiver in the car could also block it from receiving the signal from the key fob. It could be a issue with the antenna or wiring or the key fob might be damaged. If you have an entirely new key fob, it might need to be programmed to your vehicle. If you are unable solve the issue, contact an expert technician. A technician trained in the field will be able to determine the issue quickly and fix the issue immediately.
Radio Interference
For example, a key fobs that are not recognized or with a limited range of operation usually mean there is a problem in the system. The interference can be radiated or transmitted, the latter being caused by power and speaker cables getting too close to electrical components. In general, rerouting cables and moving them away from these components can solve the issue.
It's unlikely someone is listening to your key fob's signal in order to steal your vehicle however it is possible that radio interference has slowed the signal. This is a simple issue to fix.
If your key fob isn't being recognized by the system, you can try replacing the battery. Also, make sure that the battery is the right type and size. Batteries of the wrong dimensions can harm your battery.
Some alarm systems that are sold on the market and radar detectors operate on the same radio frequency as your key fob and they could cause them to interfere with your key signals. Avoid connecting these devices to your key fob.
Pairing Issues
The remote keyless entry system in the car is equipped with a receiver which receives radio frequencies from the key fob. If the receiver has developed problems, you won't be capable of starting your car regardless of whether the key fob functions and is reprogrammed. The issue could be caused by a range of causes, including the battery of a coin that is dead and water damage. The receiver could also be malfunctioning because of a software bug or internal damage to the key.
One of the most common reasons that your Peugeot 308 key fob is not working is that the coin battery inside has died. It is easy to replace it with a brand new battery but it's essential to choose the right battery for your key fob. The KeyLab is recommended to use a battery that is the same size, voltage, and specification as the original.
Another reason that your Peugeot 308 key fob might not be working is because it has been paired to an unrelated vehicle. It is possible that you have accidentally given the key fob to a friend or the key was used to unlock other vehicles. This can be solved by reprogramming your key fob with an OBDII scan. The tool will ask you for details about your car, including its VIN or engine type. It is important that you enter the correct details.
