Battery

Dead coin batteries are a common reason for your key fob not being able to unlock or lock the car. There are signs that the battery is about to wear out, such as the range of the key fob diminishing over time. If you have tried everything else, for example, reprogramming the remote and using a spare fob then it's likely the battery in your coin is defective.

It is fairly simple. It's as easy as opening the housing of the transmitter with an screwdriver, and then remove the cover. Take off the battery that was in place and then replace it with a fresh one, making sure that the polarity is correct (i.e. the symbol '+' is facing downwards). Close the housing for the transmitter and then slide it into the front of the key fob. Both parts should click together.

Press any button on the remote control for approximately 15 seconds after replacing the battery. This will ensure that the vehicle recognises the key as a legitimate replacement and can activate the keyless entry system correctly. If you have not done this before, the key may not respond to commands from the remote and will require reprogramming. The procedure to reprogramme is described in the owner's manual.

Transponder

The key fob is equipped with a microchip inside that communicates with your car's system to unlock the doors and start the engine. This chip has a unique digital identity which prevents the car from starting without right keys. The digital identity makes copying or cloning transponders more difficult and decreases the likelihood that your vehicle will be left unattended. It is not foolproof and criminals are still able to steal your car using various methods.

If the key does not work It could be that the key fob is depleted of battery, or is a component that's not working. In this case the best course of action is to figure out what's going on. The best way for this is to test the voltage of the battery using a multimeter. If the battery is functioning it means there is something else making the keyfob not function.

If you're replacing the battery make sure that it's the right size. The battery must fit into the tiny slot in the plastic housing. It should be a 3 Volt battery, CR2032. These batteries can be found online or in many auto stores. If you're not able to find the correct replacement battery, it's recommended to g transmits a radio signal to the receiver module, which causes the car's engine to start. You can use an OBD diagnostic tool to identify the remote keyless system if it is not functioning. Before using the OBD device, ensure that the 12 volt battery is fully charged and that the electrical connections are all clean.

The most frequent reason for the Fabia remote not working is that the coin battery in the key fob has failed. The key fob could show signs of a damaged power source, for example intermittent operation and a decrease in range. It is important to use a battery with the same voltage, type, and size of the original.

If the key fob has been exposed to clean tap water or rain it can be cleaned with paper towels and isopropyl alcohol. However, if the fob is submerged in soapy water or dropped on the ground and not dried properly, it could have an electronic chip damaged inside which cannot be repaired.
