There are many reasons that the key fob may not function properly, including a dead battery, damage to the receiver module, water issues, or signal interference. This article will walk you through the steps to make sure it works. Water Damage If your seat alhambra key fob survives an wash cycle or bath in the ocean or pool it's likely to have an amazing waterproof chip. However, be careful not to make this a routine since exposure to excessive water increases the chance of the key fob being damaged. If the key fob stops working after exposure to clean water from the tap or rain, then just remove the battery, clean the electronic component with a towel and allow it to dry completely before putting it back in. If you are exposed to soapy or salty water, it is recommended to wash the chip with alcohol, isopropyl or electronic cleaner prior to attempting to put the battery back in. Faulty Receiver Module If you have tried an entirely new battery for your button and the key fob isn't locked or unlocking, it's likely that the receiver module has been faulty. It is a relatively easy and inexpensive fix. It is possible to disconnect the battery with 12 volts for a couple of minutes (first remove the negative cable and then press the horn numerous times) to drain any remaining electricity. Then connect it in reverse. positive first, then negative. ESP Warning Light – If the ESP symbol blinks, it is normal. It means that you are driving on a terrain with poor traction. This could be due to gravel, snow or surface water. If the ESP light is constantly on, it means that there is a problem with the system. It is possible to identify the problem by using an iCarsoft i908 seat OBD code reader kit. It will give you detailed information about the fault. Dead Coin Battery One of the most frequent reasons for the seat alhambra keys to stop functioning is a dead coin battery. The key fob is powered by a small button-cell battery. Replace it with a new battery that has the exact dimensions, voltage and specs as the original. When replacing the battery on the key fob remove the metal clips and make sure that the contacts on the key fob are clean and corrosion-free. If the key fob has been exposed to water, such as soapy or rain, it's recommended that you take the battery off and clean the electronic chip with alcohol isopropyl or an electronic cleaner prior to putting in the new battery. The chip is susceptible to moisture and could be permanently damaged. If the key fob still does not work after replacing the battery it may be necessary for you to replace the key fob. Faulty Receiver Module If your key fob was not working after replacing the battery but it didn't function, or stopped working abruptly your receiver module might have encountered a problem. The receiver module is responsible to receive the radio frequency signals sent by your remote key fob and transform them into electrical commands that are then acted on by other modules within the car. If the receiver module is faulty it will not be able to accept any commands from your remote key fob. In this case the dealer will have to reprogram your key fob as well as install an entirely new receiver. The key fob is fitted with rubber seals that prevent water from entering the electronic chip inside. If you dip the key fob into salted or soapy water it could damage the chip. You can try cleaning the chip by rubbing it with isopropyl alcohol or electronic cleaner, but If your key fob isn't working after this, you'll have to purchase a replacement. If the keys are connected but the receiver module has developed a fault you can try to reboot all electronics on board by removing the battery that is 12 volts for a few minutes. Connect the battery in reverse (negative cable to positive first). This will reset the on-board electronic circuit and restore their functionality. A malfunctioning electronic chip The key fob is equipped with a chip that transmits the signal from the key to the receiver module each time the key is used. If the signal doesn't coincide with the one stored by the car the immobilizer will shut down the engine and stop the vehicle from beginning. If the key fob does not work and you aren't able to reprogram it, this could be due to an issue with the microchip. The chip inside the key fob could need change in order to make it function properly. The best way to do this is to remove the key from its housing and then using a pin or needle to contact each of the retaining clips made of steel. You'll have to replace them when they're damaged or corrosion-prone. Make sure any replacement batteries are of the same voltage, size and specifications as the original.
