A malfunctioning keyless entry system

If the key fob still not working after attempting everything (including programming it again and using an extra key), it could be due to a problem with the receiver module. This is the part that transmits the signal to your car, which then unlocks and starts it. This could be due to an inoperative 12-volt battery or a damaged antenna or software problems that prevent the key from connecting with the module. If you're not sure what is causing the problem drive your car to an auto shop to diagnose the issue.

Exposure to water can also damage the electronic components of the key fob, causing it to cease functioning properly. The key fob comes with rubber seals, which stop water from entering its internal chip. However, prolonged exposure to water from the ocean or pool can cause permanent damages.

If your fob isn't working, you can reset it by disconnecting its 12 volt battery. To accomplish this, first disconnect the negative cable, then the positive cable from the battery. You can then use the horn button to rid any remaining electrical charge within the system before reconnecting it. If this doesn't fix the issue it is recommended to consult an expert mechanic. They can reprogram your vehicle's key if needed.
