You can repair your device by following few simple steps. Ensure that the battery is new. Then, try taking it from the ignition by pressing the button to lock three times fast.

Battery

The most straightforward way to repair the battery of your key fob is to replace it. The key fob is powered by a tiny coin-shaped 3V battery (CR2032 or CR2025) that is generally easy to find in general stores or home improvement stores and some auto parts stores. Make sure you use a brand new battery -older batteries are typically no longer good for anything and could cause damage to the circuit board.

Start by opening the fob. It may be necessary to use a flat screwdriver break the two halves. Then, insert the screwdriver into the seam on all sides of the fob, and then lift a couple of clips to secure it. These can be easily damaged, so be careful and take your time.

Reassemble the fob after replacing the battery, and test to determine if it is working as it should. If it's still not working try pressing the button several times and verifying whether the contacts are clean. It is also possible to test it using an additional key fob to determine whether the issue is limited to that particular key. If not, there may be another reason for the key fob not to work. For example it could be because the button is worn out. This could cause the button to function at times, not always.

Interference

The key fob utilizes an insignificant transmitter to send the short-range radio signal to a receiver within your car. Its goal is to enable your car to recognize the fob, and open its doors when you approach it and start when you press the ignition button inside.

The problem is that interference can sometimes interfere with the communication. If you charge your second-generation Apple Pencil while holding the fob (via iGeneration), it could prevent you from unlocking the vehicle.

Other electronic devices that operate on the same frequency as the fob could interfere with the signal. Garage door openers and tire-pressure monitoring devices can also be affected. Even a transmitter inside your home could be causing interference, but this would be difficult for a professional to test.

Your key fob might require reprogramming. The transmitter inside the fob you have purchased must be recognized by the Mini's receiver. A unique code is then used for each pairing. Fobs typically need to be reprogrammed when they're disconnected or replaced, when you purchase a replacement and, in some instances when the battery is changed. To reprogram a fob, follow the directions in the user's manual of your device or visit a dealer for assistance.

Chips that aren't working

Modern electronic key fobs provide more convenience and function than manual keys. However, they also are more prone to damage. A damaged chip is one of the most common issues that could stop the key fob from working properly. It is usually a simple fix.

If your fob is continually not turning on your car, this could be a sign that the chip has become faulty. The issue can be repaired by replacing the battery which is cheap and easy to find at an hardware store or big-box retailer. To avoid any further issues make sure to purchase the correct battery with your car model.

The fob should also not be exposed to water, or soapy residue. Water can cause corrosion and damage the circuitry. If this is the case, you will need to clean it with isopropyl alcohol or an electronic cleaner prior to putting in the new battery.

It is a good idea to test the function of the fob prior to operating the vehicle. Utilizing a voltmeter, examine the voltage of the new battery to determine whether it's at a safe level. If not then it may be required to replace the entire chip in the remote. A qualified dealer technician can assist in determining the best solution for you vehicle.
