Water Damage

The rubber seals on the key fob protect the chip's electronic components, however prolonged exposure to moisture could cause it to malfunction correctly. This is typically the situation when you've dropped your key fob in the ocean or a pool pool, but it can occur if it becomes wet from soapy hands or rain.

If your key fob was exposed to water for a long period of time and you're not sure, clean it with isopropyl or electronic cleaner. It may also require a visit to a specialist to repair or replace it.

Before putting the new battery in ensure that there isn't any water damage or dirt on the terminals. If this is the case, clean the terminals using small amounts of isopropyl alcohol. You'll also need to make sure the pole cables are plugged in correctly - they should be connected to the negative and positive poles of the battery respectively.
