Dead Coin Battery

Using a small flathead screwdriver, pull the retaining clip open to remove the current battery and then insert a fresh one.

Exposure to water can cause the key fob to corrode, or even become damaged. Even a short bath in soapy water can damage the electronic chip inside. Keep your key fob dry.

Water Damage

Faulty Receiver Module

Fiat key fobs transmit signals of up 50 feet away to the vehicle, which allows it to unlock and close the doors (and start the vehicle for vehicles with automatic transmissions).
