Using a flat-head screwdriver or a thumb nail, pry the cover upwards, then replace the CR2025. Dead Coin Battery If your key fob isn't functioning and you're not successful in reprogramming it using an entirely new code, the most likely reason is a dead coin battery. Replacing this should make it functional in no time – you can do it yourself in under 10 minutes. Flip the key open first by removing the metal rings. There's a simple clip-on lid, that you can lever open using your nail. The old battery is then pulled through the hole in the middle.

Always replace the battery with one that is the same voltage, size and specification as the original. In the event that the key fob you have purchased has been submerged in water, you might require cleaning the chip before replacing the battery. It's especially important if it was dropped into the ocean or in soapy water. It is imperative to take action immediately as exposure to water can harm the electronic chip and cause the key fob to stop working. Worn Buttons Seat Ibiza keys stop working most often due to the battery that powers the coin is dead. It is a simple fix that will take only few minutes.

However submerging the key fob in water can cause the seals to break and harm the electronic chip inside. This usually happens if you accidentally drop your key fob in the pool or leave it in the rain. If your key fob doesn't work after replacing or reprogramming it, then the receiver module could be in trouble. Water Damage Rubber seals on the key fob block water from getting to the chip. However it's not enough to stop the occasional bath or splash. If your pet has been through a wash cycle or swimming in the ocean it could have damaged the chip. It can be fixed by removing the battery and then cleaning the chip with isopropyl or electronic cleaner. Let it dry completely and then put it back. If the chip has become damaged and needs to be replaced, replace it with a brand new chip. If your key fob still does not work after changing the battery and reprogramming it there could be a issue with the receiver module. This is the part in the car that receives signals from the key fob, and then sends signals to the key ignition system. You can test it by trying the spare key fob in case you have one. This should cause the ignition system light come on and the central locking switch activate. If this doesn't happen then the receiver module is defective. This is a cost-effective fix, however, it can be fixed by a professional in your local garage. Radio Interference The receiver module on your key could be causing interference. This can be corrected with replacing the key with an entirely new receiver module from Seat parts. To replace seat car key transponder , take off the key and gently lift the cover of the key fob's battery compartment with your thumb or a screwdriver made of flat heads. Remove the CR2025 battery and insert a fresh one, ensuring that it is in the proper polarity. You can also use a standard key with a transponder chip which was previously on a damaged or damaged key. It can be coded and cut to fit your car, if needed. Faulty Receiver Module The receiver module that is in the fob that you have in your keys transmits radio signals to the car. If the fob stops working it could be because the module has failed. This can be determined using an OBDII scan tool or by contacting the dealer. Other devices that use the same frequency could interfere with the remote keyless entry system. This includes mobile phones, electrical devices and even some household appliances. If the key fob has been exposed to clean tap water it may be possible to clean the chip with paper towels and isopropyl alcohol. If the fob's key is submerged in soapy or salt water or is placed on a floor that is wet for long periods, it will almost certainly result in damage, and it is likely to need replacing. To change the battery, you can use small screwdrivers with flat heads or a fingernail to push open the compartment for the button cell batteries (B). Remove the battery that was in there and replace it with an CR2025 replacement battery, making sure the '+' polarity is facing upwards.
