seat car key cover's jumbo MPV range is among the best in its class when it comes down to resale values. And with a new model now on sale it's even more impressive.

There are a variety of reasons that the key fob could not function properly, such as a dead coin battery, water damage, receiver module issues or signal interference. This article will walk you through the steps to make it work again.

Water Damage

If your key fob for the seat alhambra can withstand the wash cycle or a dip in the ocean or in a pool, then it is equipped with a waterproof chip. However, don't do it often, as prolonged exposure to water increases the risk of the key fob becoming damaged. If the key fob stops functioning after exposure to clean tap water or rain, simply take out the battery, clean the electronic component with a paper towel and let it dry completely before putting it back in. If you are exposed to soapy or salty water it is recommended to clean the chip with alcohol, isopropyl or electronic cleaner prior to attempting to put the battery back in.

Faulty Receiver Module

If the key fob will not lock or unlock after you have replaced the button cell battery it is possible that the receiver module has a fault. It is a relatively easy and inexpensive fix. You can remove the 12 volts battery for a couple of minutes (first take off the negative cable, then press the horn a few times) to remove any remaining electricity. Then, reconnect it in reverse. Positive cable first, then negative.

ESP Warning Light If the ESP warning symbol flashes this is normal and signifies that the car is traveling on terrain in which the traction between the road surface and tyres aren't as good, like gravel, snow or a lot of surface water. If the ESP light is always on, it indicates that there is a fault in the system. This can be diagnosed with a iCarsoft i908 seat leon spare key OBD code reader kit. It will give you the full description of the problem.

Dead Coin Battery

A dead battery for the coin is among the most common reasons for the keys for the seat to stop working. The key fob contains a tiny button cell battery which keeps it powered. It is recommended to replace it with a brand new one that is exactly the same size, voltage and specifications as the original. When replacing the battery on the key fob, remove the metal clips and make sure that the contacts on the key fob are in good condition and free of corrosion.

If the key fob has been exposed water, like soapy or rain it is recommended to remove the battery and clean the electronic chip with isopropyl alcohol or an electronic cleaner prior to inserting the new battery. The chip can be permanently damaged by moisture. If the key fob still not working after replacing the battery, it may be necessary to replace the entire key fob.

Faulty Receiver Module

If your key fob has stopped working after replacing the battery but it did not help, or it just stopped working suddenly, then your receiver module may have developed a fault. The receiver module receives the radio frequency signals from your key fob's remote and transforms them into electrical signals which are then acted upon by other modules inside the car.

If the receiver module has developed a fault that prevents it from responding to any of the commands sent by your remote key fob. In this scenario you'll have to visit a dealer for reprogramming your key fob as well as a new receiver module.

The key fob features rubber seals to prevent water from getting into the electronic chip inside. However, if you submerge the key fob in the ocean's salty or soapy water, the chips inside may be damaged. You can try to clean the chip by applying isopropyl alcohol or electronic cleaner, but if your key fob still isn't working after this, then you'll need to purchase a new one.

If the keys are successfully paired, but your receiver module is malfunctioning it is possible to restart all the electronics on board by disconnecting the battery at 12 volts for couple of minutes. Then, reconnect the battery in reverse order (negative cable first, then positive). This will reset the onboard electronic circuit and restore their functionality.

Faulty electronic chip

The key fob houses a small electronic chip that transmits a message to the receiver module every time the key is used. If this signal does not match the one recorded by the car the immobilizer will stop the engine and prevent the vehicle from starting. If the key fob won't work and you aren't able to reprogram it, it could be because of an issue with the microchip.

The chip in the key fob may need to be altered to make it work again. This can be accomplished by taking the key fob out of its housing, and using pins or needles to connect with each metal retaining clip. If these clips are damaged or damaged, you'll have to replace them to allow the remote control to work. Make sure that any replacement batteries have the same voltage, size and specification as the original.

The seat key Alhambra is an attractive and well-designed model but like any other car it may encounter issues with particular components or equipment. For instance there are owners who have had problems with the climate control system, which could malfunction and cause problems in one particular setting. The infotainment systems can also fail and freeze the screens.
