Dead Coin Battery
The most frequent reason that your Fiat 500 key fob will not unlock or lock the doors is a dead battery. The key fob has the battery of a coin-cell that is prone to draining quickly in the event that it is not frequently used. If your remote began to show signs of weakening such as a loss of range and stopped working completely, the battery is probably dead.
Metal clips hold the battery in place in the key fob. If the clips are not tight, they can create contact problems that will prevent your remote to receive power. Use a flathead screwdriver to open the retaining clips and remove the old battery. Make sure to use a battery with the same size, voltage and specification as the original.
The key fob could also be damaged or corroded by exposure to water. Even a brief bath in soapy water could cause damage to the electronic chip inside. Keep your key fob dry.
Water Damage
Damage to your water supply could be the reason behind your key fob's not functioning properly. The rubber seals on key fobs stop them from being damaged by a slight splash or drizzle of water. However, it is important to keep the keys from the washing machine, the ocean and even the pool.
The key fob is equipped with an electronic chip which sends a message to the immobilizer system of your car. This is the reason why your 500 can start or lock, however should the chip become saturated, it won't be able to longer function.
If you want to check if your key fob is functional it is possible to clean the internal electronics with isopropyl or an electronic cleaner. However, it is probably better to purchase a replacement from a dealer instead of trying to repair a key fob that has been submerged in salt water.
A replacement fob can cost you some money, but it's a lot less expensive than paying to have your Fiat 500 towed to a dealership and repaired there! You can also make it yourself by following only a few steps. Just ensure you have the right battery type before you attempt to open your key fob. You can find step-by-step instructions for any car keyfob on the internet.
Faulty Chip
The chip located within the key fob communicates to your car's immobiliser unit to ensure the vehicle is only capable of starting when the correct key is used. If the chip is damaged or damaged the car will not start regardless of what you do.
Water damage or a dead phone battery are the most frequently cited reasons for a faulty chip. Whatever the reason, it is recommended to delegate the work to a locksmith as they will be able to replace the chip for you quickly and at a cost-effective price.
If your key fob stops functioning after exposure to clean water from the tap or rain, take out the battery and wipe down the electronic component using a paper towel to ensure that it is completely dry before putting it back into. If fiat 500 key cover isn't working it's probably a fried chip and will require replacement.
A few people will visit their dealer when they require an entirely new Fiat fob. But, this can be expensive.

Faulty Receiver Module
Fiat key fobs transmit an electrical signal to the vehicle that can unlock and close doors (and start the car for those with an automatic transmission) up to 50 feet. There are several reasons why the fob could stop working. This could be due to a dead coin battery or water damage or worn buttons as well as a receiver module problem or signal interference, or a malfunctioning electronic chip.
If the fob was placed in the pocket of someone who has suffered severe trauma (such as being dropped onto the floor or washed in the washer) it might not be in a position to connect with the Body Control Module (BCM) of the car. This is because the BCM is an extremely secure system that will only accept a signal from a genuine key and not any other.
You will need to replace the fob in case this occurs. A locksmith professional can handle all aspects of the replacement procedure and can even program a brand new one for the 500. They can even provide the fob cloned to work the same as the original (and costs one-third of the price).
