tiny parts inside This also helps you to avoid putting something back in the wrong location Always keep your key fob in a place that is secure and safe Water Damage If your fobs key gets damaged by dropping it in the pool or throwing it in the washing machine you might think that its gone but theres hope The problem is when the circuit board within the fob comes in contact with water It creates a fantastic conductor and shorts out components It also speeds up the process of rust and corrosion Fortunately this is easy to fix Simply find something absorbent and put it inside the fob Paper towl or tissue works well Use a cotton swab with isopropyl to clean the circuit board as well as any other components Let the fob dry out for some time in a dry warm environment When the fob has dried out then replace the battery with a new one of the same size and the same polarity with the upwards direction The fob may be difficult to open to access the battery however if you keep a flathead screwdriver at hand it should be easy to slide in Once the fob has been put back together it should work as normal If it doesnt work youll require reprogramming it or replace the receiver module Radio Interference If a key fob is functioning properly it emits a radio frequency signal which is received by the receiver module inside your car If the signal is interrupted your key fob wont function This could be due to objects like weather conditions or other transmitters that operate at the same frequency as your car This can cause your key fob to not activate the cars systems like the ignition switch or the security system It is best to replace the battery of your key fob Some LED lighting from the aftermarket that utilizes the same frequency as a remote key fob could interfere with the signal preventing it from reaching the receiver modules The LEDs lighting needs to be switched off or changed to a different frequency to prevent interference If the issue is still present after replacing the battery the antenna of the key fob might be damaged or inoperable This is important because the antenna is responsible for sending an indication from the key fob to the receiver module An OBDII scan will help you identify the issue by telling you exactly whats wrong with the system The scanner will ask you for information about your specific vehicle like the make and model of the vehicle the type of engine and VIN number Faulty Receiver Module The key fob is equipped with a receiver module that sends signals for locking and unlocking audi advanced key seat memory on the board will stop working if the receiver module becomes inoperable Reprogramming the key fob by 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 reset the onboard computer if you disconnect the 12 Volt batteries for 15 mins This will draw out any remaining electricity that could cause issues Begin by removing the cable from the negative terminal first then the positive terminal After 15 minutes connect the battery in reverse order beginning with positive first and negative second The presence of dirt or water could damage the internal chip of the key fob If your keys function stopped after being wet you need to clean the electronic component with isopropyl ethanol or an electronic cleaner prior to reinstalling the battery If the key stopped working after exposure to soapy or salted water it is likely that the chip has been fried and needs to be replaced A defective antenna module fuse may also be the cause Its the fuse that sends an indication to the vehicle to lock or unlock The fuse can be found in several places depending on the model For instance it could be located under the rear seat or in the trunk or the side of the dashboard
