Dead Coin Battery

One of the most frequent reasons for the seat alhambra key to stop working is a dead coin battery. The key fob is powered by a tiny button-cell battery.

When replacing the battery on the key fob remove all metal clips and ensure that the contacts of the key fob are free of corrosion and clean.

If the key fob has been exposed water, like rain or soapy water, it's recommended that you remove the battery and clean the electronic chip with alcohol isopropyl or an electronic cleaner prior to installing the new battery. The chip may be permanently damaged by moisture. If the key fob still doesn't function after replacing the battery, it could be necessary to replace the key fob.

Faulty Receiver Module

If your key fob has stopped working after replacing the battery, but it didn't work, or if it stopped working suddenly the receiver module may have experienced a malfunction. The receiver module is responsible for absorbing the radio frequency signals that are sent by the remote key fob and changing them into electrical signals that are then used by other modules in the car.

If the receiver module is faulty, it will not accept any commands from your remote key fob. In this case it is necessary for a dealer to reprogram your key fob and install the new receiver.

The key fob has been sealed by rubber to block water from leaking into the electronic chip. However, if you submerge your key fob in the ocean's salty or soapy water, the chips inside could be damaged. If your key fob does not function, you can try cleaning the chip using isopropyl or an electronic cleaner.

If the keys are paired, but the receiver module is malfunctioning it is possible to restart all the electronics that are on board by disconnecting the battery with 12 volts for a few minutes. Then reconnect the battery in reverse order (negative cable first before positive). This resets all the on-board electronics and should bring them back into operation.

A malfunctioning electronic chip

The key fob has a small electronic chip which transmits a signal the receiver module whenever the key is used. If the signal doesn't match the one that the car has stored the immobilizer will turn off and stop the vehicle from starting. If the key fob doesn't work and you are unable to reprogram it, it could be because of a faulty microchip.

The chip in the key fob may have to be replaced in order to get it working again. This can be done by getting the key fob removed from its housing, and then using a needle or pin to contact each metal retaining clip. If these clips are damaged or damaged, you'll need to replace them in order for the remote control to work. Make sure that any replacement batteries are of the same size, voltage, and specification as the original one.
