Dead Coin Battery
If your key fob stopped working but you’re not able to reprogram it with the latest code, the most likely reason is a dead battery in the coin. You can replace the battery yourself in less than ten minutes.
Start by opening the key from the side with no rings made of metal. There’s a simple clip-on lid, that you can lift open using your nail. The battery that was in there can be pushed out through the hole in the middle. Be aware that if you replace the battery in error, or using a battery that’s not appropriate, it could harm the remote. Replace the battery with the same voltage, size and specifications as the original.
If your key device was submerged in water you might also need to clean the chip prior to replacing the battery. This is especially true if it was dropped in the sea, or soapy water. It is imperative to take action immediately, as exposure to water could damage the chip’s electronic circuit and cause the key fob to cease working.
Worn Buttons
Seat Ibiza keys stop working most often because the coin battery is dead. This is easy to fix and can be done in a couple of minutes. The key fob can also stop functioning if the buttons are worn out. It’s simple to fix and only will require you to replace the key shell that was used to replace it with an updated one.
It is essential to replace the button cell battery in a timely manner otherwise the key fob might be damaged. It’s recommended to always utilize a brand new battery that is the same size, voltage, and specifications. It’s also essential that the current battery’s polarity is directed upwards.
The key fob is protected by rubber seals, which will keep water out. The submersion of the keyfob could cause the seals on the keyfob to break, causing damage to the electronic chip. This usually happens if you accidentally drop your key fob into the pool or leave it in the rain. If the key fob doesn’t work after replacing or reprogramming it, then the receiver module could be damaged.
Water Damage

If your key fob won’t function after changing the battery or reprogramming, the problem could be with the receiver module. This is the component of the car that receives the signals from the keyfob. It then transmits the signals to the key ignition system. You can test it by using a spare key fob, if you have one. This should make the ignition system light turn on and the central locking button activate. If this does not happen it is possible that the receiver module could be defective. This is a costly fix however it can be repaired by a professional at your local garage.
Radio Interference
If your car’s radio seems to be acting oddly or the key fob is not working, it could be due to an interference problem with the receiver module inside the key. Seat Ibiza Key parts could provide an alternative key with a new receiver.
To replace the battery, take off the key and gently lift the cover of the key fob’s compartment for the battery with your thumb or a screwdriver with a flat head. Remove the old CR2025 battery and replace it with a brand new battery, making sure that the polarity is right. You can also use a regular key that has a transponder chip which was previously installed on a worn or damaged key. This can be cut off and coded to your car, if needed.
Faulty Receiver Module
The receiver module is the part on the key fob, which transmits radio signals to the car. The module may be damaged when the fob stops functioning. This can be determined by using an OBDII scanner or by contacting the dealer.
Other devices that use the same frequency could interfere with the remote keyless entry system. This could include mobile phones, electrical devices, and even household appliances.
If the fob is exposed to clean tap water, it might be possible to clean the electronic chip with isopropyl alcohol and paper towels. If the fob’s key is submerged in salt or soapy water or is placed on a wet floor for long periods of time, this is likely to result in damage and is likely to require replacement.
To change the battery, use a small flat-head screwdriver or a fingernail to pry open the compartment for the button cell batteries (B). Remove the old battery. Insert a new CR2025, ensuring that the «+» orientation is facing up.
