There are many reasons why your key fob might not work properly including dead coin battery or damage to the receiver module, water issues, or signal interference. This article will guide you through the steps to get it working.
Water Damage
If your seat alhambra key fob survives an wash cycle or bath in the ocean or pool then it probably has an amazing waterproof chip but don't make this a habit since exposure to excessive water increases the risk of the key fob getting damaged. If your key fob stops working after exposure to rain or clean tap water, take out the battery and wipe the electronic component using a towel. Dry it completely before replacing the battery. If the key fob has been exposed to soapy or salty water, it is recommended that you clean the chip with isopropyl or an electronic cleaner.
Faulty Receiver Module
If the key fob does not lock or unlock even after you've replaced the button cell battery it could be that the receiver module is suffering from an issue. It's a simple and cost-effective fix. It is possible to disconnect the 12 volts battery for a few minutes (first remove the negative cable, then press the horn a few times) to remove any remaining power. After that, you can reconnect it in reverse. Positive first, then negative.
ESP Warning Light - If the ESP symbol is illuminated, this is normal. It indicates that you are driving on terrain that has poor traction. This could be caused by snow, gravel or surface water. If the ESP warning light continues to be shining, it is a sign that there is a glitch in the system and should be detected with a iCarsoft i908 Seat OBD Code Reader, which will provide a precise fault description.
Dead Coin Battery
One of the most common reasons for the seat alhambra key to stop working is a dead battery. The key fob comes with a tiny button cell battery that is able to keep it powered. Replace it with a brand new battery with the same voltage, size and specification as the original. If you're replacing your battery, ensure that you remove all metal clips from the back of the key fob. You should also make sure that the contacts are clean and free of corrosion.
If the key fob has been exposed to water, like rain or soapy water, it's recommended that you take the battery off and clean the electronic chip with isopropyl alcohol or an electronic cleaner before putting in the new battery. The chip is sensitive to moisture and may be permanently damaged. If the key fob still doesn't function after replacing the battery it could be necessary to replace the key fob.
Faulty Receiver Module
If your key fob stopped working after you replaced the battery, but it did not help, or it just stopped working suddenly the receiver module may have developed an issue. The receiver module is responsible for receiving the radio frequency signals sent by your remote key fob and changing them into electrical signals that are then acted on by other modules in the car.
If the receiver module has developed a fault that prevents it from responding to any of the commands transmitted by your remote key fob. In this situation you will require a dealer to reprogramme your key fob as well as install the new receiver.
The key fob is covered with rubber to stop water from getting inside the electronic chip. If you immerse the key fob in the ocean's salty or soapy water, the chip inside could be damaged. If your key fob does not work, you could try cleaning the chip using isopropyl or electronic cleaner.
If the keys are paired but the receiver module has developed a fault you may try to restart all electronics on board by disconnecting the battery with 12 volts for a few minutes. Connect the battery in reverse (negative cable to positive first). This resets all the electronic components onboard and restore their functionality.
Electronic Chip Faulty
The key fob is equipped with a chip that transmits an indication from the key to the receiver module every time the key is used. If the signal does not match the one the car has stored the immobilizer will turn off and prevent the vehicle from starting. If the key fob doesn't function and you are not able to reprogram it, it could be because of an issue with the microchip.
The chip inside the key fob might need to be altered in order to make it function properly. This can be accomplished by taking the key fob away from its case, and using pins or needles to connect with each metal retaining clip. You will need to replace these in the event of damage or damaged or corroded. Make sure that any replacement batteries have the same size, voltage and specifications as the original.
