The problem starts when the circuit board inside the fob is in contact with water – it creates a fantastic conductor and shorts out components. It also speeds up the process of rust and corrosion. Luckily, this is a simple issue to fix. Find something absorbent to place inside the fob. A tissue or paper towel would work. Use a cotton swab soaked in isopropyl to wash the circuit board as well as any other components. Let the fob air dry in a dry, warm environment for several weeks. Replace the battery when the fob has dried out by replacing it with a new one with the same dimensions and the same polarity ('+' (pointing upwards). It isn't easy to open up the fob to get access to the battery, but if have a small screwdriver with a flat head that you have at hand, it will be able to insert easily.

Radio Interference If a key fob is working correctly, it sends an audio frequency signal that is received by the module in your car. If the signal is disrupted in some way the key fob will not perform as it should. This could be caused by weather conditions, objects or other transmitters operating on the same frequency band near your car. This could cause your key fob to not be able to activate the car's systems such as the ignition switch or security system. It is recommended to replace the battery of your key fob. Some aftermarket LED lighting that uses the same frequency as the remote key fob may interfere with the signal, preventing it from reaching the receiver modules. To prevent interference, the LED lighting should be turned off or to a different frequency. If you've got a new battery in your key fob and the problem persists, it is likely that the antenna on your key fob is damaged or malfunctioning. This is significant because the antenna is responsible for transmitting signals from the key fob to the receiver module.

This will drain any remaining electrical energy that could be causing issues. Begin by removing the cable from the negative terminal of the battery first, then the positive terminal. After 15 minutes, connect the battery in reverse order beginning with positive first, and negative second. Dirt or water can damage the internal chip of the key fob. If your key has stopped working when it was wet, wipe the electronic component with isopropyl ethanol or an electronic cleaner prior to reinstalling the battery. If the key stopped working after being exposed to salted or soapy water, it is likely that the chip is damaged and needs to be replaced. A defective antenna module fuse could also be the reason. This is the fuse that sends an alert to the vehicle to lock or unlock. Based on the model you have, the fuse is located in one of the many locations such as the engine bay, the side of the dashboard, beneath the rear seat, or trunk.
