Water Damage
Water damage is among the most common causes that cause an Nissan keyfob to display the "key ID wrong" message. The key fob is fitted with rubber seals that shield the electronic chip inside, however prolonged exposure to moisture can cause it to stop functioning properly. This is often the case when you've dropped your key fob into the ocean or a pool pool, but it can also happen if it gets wet from soapy hands or rain.

Dead Coin Battery
Another reason why the reason your Nissan Qashqai key fob may not work is because the battery inside is dead. They typically last for 3 to 5 years, but they are susceptible to becoming depleted with time, particularly when the fob is frequently dropped.

Before you put the new battery in place, make sure there is no dirt or water damage to the terminals. If not clean the terminals using small amounts of isopropyl alcohol. Make sure that the pole cables are properly connected. They should be connected both the negative and the positive poles of your battery.

You'll require a new keyfob if you are unable to fix the issue by changing the battery. If you dropped the key fob on the ground and it stopped working immediately, this is most likely due to the damage to the internal chip. It is usually possible to get the key fob to function again if you take it out and clean the chip using paper towel and isopropyl alcohol, then put it back into.
