Water Damage If your seat alhambra key fob can withstand the wash cycle or a bath in the pool or ocean then it probably has an amazing waterproof chip.

If your key fob ceases to working after exposure to rain or clean tap water, take out the battery and wipe the electronic component with a towel. Let it dry completely before replacing the battery. If the key fob was exposed to soapy or salty water it is recommended that you clean the chip with isopropyl or electronic cleaner. Faulty Receiver Module If the key fob will not lock or unlock after having replaced the battery of the button, it is possible that the receiver module has a fault. The good news is that it is a fairly easy and affordable fix, you can just disconnect the battery for several minutes (first take off the negative cable, then press the horn button several times) to remove any remaining electrical current and then reconnect it in reverse order e.g. positive cable first and then negative cable later. ESP Warning Light – If the ESP symbol is flashing, this is normal. It means that you're driving on terrain that has poor traction. This could be caused by snow, gravel or surface water. If the ESP light is always on, it indicates that there is a problem in the system. This can be diagnosed with a iCarsoft i908 seat OBD code reader kit.

The key fob has tiny button cell batteries that is able to keep it powered. It is recommended to replace it by a new battery that is exactly the same size, voltage, and specification as the original. When replacing the battery on the key fob remove the metal clips and make sure that the contacts of the key fob are in good condition and free of corrosion. If the key fob was exposed to water (such as soapy tap water), it is recommended that you remove and clean the chip with an electronic cleaner or isopropyl alcohol before installing a new battery. The chip is sensitive to moisture and may be permanently damaged. If the key fob isn't working after replacing the battery, it might be necessary to replace the key fob. Faulty Receiver Module If your key fob has stopped working after you replaced the battery but it did not help, or it suddenly stopped working suddenly The receiver module may have developed an issue. The receiver module is able to receive radio frequency signals from your remote keyfob, and converts them into electrical commands which are then acted upon by other modules inside the car. If the receiver module is faulty it will not take any commands from your remote key fob. In this instance you'll need to visit a dealer to reprogram your key fob and a new receiver module. The key fob is encased with rubber to prevent water from entering the electronic chip. If you submerge the key fob in salted or soapy water it could damage the chip. If your key fob does not work, you can try cleaning the chip with isopropyl or an electronic cleaner. If the keys are paired but the receiver module has developed a fault you can try rebooting all of the onboard electronics by removing the battery that is 12 volts for a short period of time. Connect the battery in reverse (negative cable to positive first). TheKeyLab will reset all on-board electronics and should restore their functionality. Electronic Chip Faulty The key fob has a small electronic chip that transmits a signal to the receiver module each time the key is used. If the signal doesn't match the one the car has stored the immobilizer is disabled and stop the vehicle from starting. If the key fob you purchased does not work and you are unable to reprogram it, this could be due to an issue with the microchip. The chip in the key fob isn't an indefinite part of the device and might have to be replaced in order to function again. This can be accomplished by removing the key fob from its housing, and using pins or needles to make contact with each metal retaining clip. If these clips are damaged or broken, you will need to replace them in order for the remote control to function. Make sure that any replacement batteries are of the same size, voltage and specifications as the original.
