Use a flathead screwdriver pry open the retaining clip and remove the battery. Make sure that the battery you choose to use has the same voltage, size, and specification as the original.

The key fob can also become corroded or damaged by exposure to water. Even a quick shower in soapy water can harm the electronic chip in. It's best to keep your key fob in a dry environment.

Water Damage

If your key fob isn't working properly, it may be due to water damage. Key fobs come with rubber seals that prevent them from being damaged by light rain or splashes of water, but it is vital to keep your car keys away from the ocean, pool, and the washing machine!

The key fob has an electronic chip inside that transmits a signal to your car's immobilizer system. The chip allows the 500 to be locked and started. If it gets wet it will cease to function.

This is a job that's far simpler than it appears and you can find step-by-step instructions online for virtually any key fob for cars.

Faulty Chip

The chip inside the key fob communicates directly with the immobiliser of your car to ensure that the vehicle will only start when proper keys are inserted. If the chip is damaged, or damaged in any way your car will not start.
