If your fob has been exposed to clean water, such as rainwater or soapy water from the tap It is probable that corrosion has caused damage to the chip's electronic circuit. You can clean the chip with isopropyl or electronic cleaners to see if this helps, but it's likely that the chip is fried. The most efficient option is to buy an entirely new key fob.

Fortunately, this is not difficult to fix. Simply locate something absorbent and put it inside the fob. Paper towl or tissue work well. Use a cotton swab soaked in isopropyl to cleanse the circuit board and any other components. Let the fob dry out for several days in a dry, warm environment. Replace the battery when the fob is dried out by replacing it with a new one that has the same size and polarity ('+' (pointing upwards). It can be tricky to open up the fob to get access to the battery, however if you have a small screwdriver that is flat available, it should be able to slide into easily. After the fob is rebuilt, it should operate in a normal manner. If it doesn't, you may require reprogramming it or replace the receiver module. seat leon key fob replacement G28 If a keyfob works properly, it broadcasts a radio frequency that is received by a module inside your car. However, if the signal is distorted in any way, your key fob won't function as expected. This can be caused by objects, weather conditions, or other transmitters that operate at the same frequency close to your car. This could cause your key fob to not be able to activate the vehicle's systems for example, the ignition switch or the security system. It is recommended to replace your key fob's battery. A few LED lighting products that uses the same frequencies as a remote control key fob could interfere with the signal, stopping it from reaching receiver modules. The LED lighting must be turned off or switched to a different frequency to be able to avoid interference. If you've just replaced the battery in your key fob, and the problem persists, it's likely that the key fob's antenna is damaged or has stopped working. The antenna is responsible to transmit a signal between the key fob and the receiver module. An OBDII scan can assist in diagnosing the issue by revealing what's wrong with your system. The scanner will ask you for details about your vehicle including the make, model, engine type and VIN number. Faulty Receiver Module The key fob contains a receiver module that transmits the signals to lock and unlock. All on-board electronic components will stop working if the receiver module becomes inoperable. Reprogramming the key fob using an OBDII scan or replacing it might help. This problem can be caused by a dead coin cell battery or a water damage or signal interference. You can reset your on-board computer by disconnecting the 12 Volt batteries for 15 mins.

If your key quit working after being wet, clean the electronic component with isopropyl Alcohol or an electronic cleaner prior to installing the battery. If it stops working after exposure to salty or soapy water the chip could be damaged and must be replaced. A damaged antenna module fuse could also be the reason. It is the fuse that sends an electronic signal to the vehicle to lock or unlock. Depending on your model, the fuse is located in a variety of places like the engine bay, the side of the dashboard, under the rear seat, or trunk.
