Water Damage

If your seat alhambra key fob survives washing cycles or a bath in the ocean or pool then it is likely to have an incredible waterproof chip, but do not make it a habit because prolonged exposure to water increases the chance of the key fob getting damaged. If the key fob stops working after exposure to clean tap water or rain, simply take out the battery, wipe the electronic component using a paper towel and let it dry completely before putting it back in. In the event of exposure to soapy or salty water, it is recommended to clean the chip using isopropyl alcohol or a electronic cleaner before attempting to put the battery back in.

Faulty Receiver Module

If you have tried a new button cell battery and the key fob still doesn't lock or unlock then it is likely that the receiver module has found a fault. The good thing is that this is a fairly easy and cost-effective fix. You can disconnect the 12 volt battery for just a few minutes (first remove the negative cable and then press the horn button numerous times) to remove any remaining electricity and then reconnect it in reverse order e.g. Positive first and then negative.

Dead Coin Battery

A dead coin battery is one of the most frequent reasons for the seat leon key fob alhambra keys to cease to function. The key seat fob comes with an insignificant button cell battery that keeps it powered. It is recommended to replace it with a brand new one that has the same voltage, size, and specification as the original. When replacing the battery on the key fob remove all metal clips and ensure that the contacts on the key fob are clean and corrosion-free.

If the key fob was exposed to water (such as soapy tap water) it is recommended to remove and clean the chip using an electronic cleaner or isopropyl alcohol before installing a brand new battery. The chip could be permanently damaged by water. If the key fob doesn't work after replacing the battery, it might be necessary to replace the key fob.

Faulty Receiver Module

If your key fob stopped working after replacing the battery but it did not function, or suddenly stopped working, your receiver module could have experienced a malfunction. The receiver module is responsible for capturing the radio frequency signals sent by the remote key fob and converting them into electrical commands that are then acted on by other modules in your car.

If the receiver module has a problem it will not take any commands from your remote key fob. In this instance the dealer will have to reprogramme the key fob as well as install the new receiver.

The key fob is sealed with rubber to stop water from leaking into the electronic chip. If you immerse your key fob in the ocean's salty or soapy water, the chips inside may be damaged. If your key fob does not work, you can try cleaning the chip using isopropyl or an electronic cleaner.

If the keys are in a pair but the receiver module has developed a fault you may try to restart all of the onboard electronics by disconnecting the battery that is 12 volts for a short period of time. Connect the battery in reverse (negative cable to positive first). This will reset the on-board electronic and restore their functionality.

A malfunctioning electronic chip

The key fob is outfitted with a small chip that transmits the signal from the key to the receiver module every time the key is used. If the signal does not match the one the car has stored the immobilizer is disabled and stop the car from starting. However, if the fob isn't working, and you are unable to reprogram it then it could be due a damaged chip.

The chip inside the key fob could need change in order to get it working again. The best method to do this is to remove the key from its housing and then using a pin needle to connect with each of the metal clips that hold it. You will need to replace these in the event that they have been damaged or corrosion-prone. Make sure that the replacement batteries have the same voltage, size and specifications as the original.
