Why a Seat Ibiza Replacement Key Won't Work A new generation of driver aids enhances the Ibiza to a completely new level. Travel Assist ensures that your vehicle is able to keep up with traffic while Lane Assist eliminates the stress of changing lanes. Remove the battery compartment cover on the key fob (A). Using a flat-head screwdriver or a thumb nail to pry the cover upwards and replace the CR2025. Dead Coin Battery If your key fob has stopped working but you're not able to reprogram it with an updated code, then the most likely cause is a dead coin battery. It is possible to replace the battery yourself within a matter of ten minutes. The key is opened from the side with no rings made of metal. You can then open the clip-on lid with your nail. The battery that was used is put through the hole in the middle. Be aware that changing the battery incorrectly or with an unsuitable battery may damage the remote key. Always replace the battery with one that is the same voltage, size and specification as the original. If your key fob was submerged by water, it may be necessary to clean the chip prior to replacing the battery. This is particularly crucial in the event that you've dropped it into the ocean or in soapy washing water. It is imperative to take action immediately because exposure to water can damage the electronic chip and cause your key fob to cease working. Worn Buttons Seat Ibiza keys stop working the majority of the time often because the battery is dead. This is easy to fix and can be done in a couple of minutes. Key fobs also stop working if the buttons are worn out. This is a simple fix, and requires you to swap the old key shell for an entirely new one. It's important to know that the button cell battery needs to be replaced correctly or damage can occur to the key fob. It is recommended to always make sure you use a new battery that has the same voltage, size and specification. It's crucial that the polarity is up on the new battery. The key fob is secured by rubber seals that should keep water out. In seat key cover that you submerge the keyfob into water, it could cause the seals on the keyfob to break, causing damage to the electronic chip. This is the most likely scenario when your key fob is placed in the rain or accidentally drops into the pool. If the key fob doesn't work after replacing or reprogramming it or reprogramming it, the receiver module could be faulty. Water Damage The key fob has rubber seals to prevent water getting into the electronic chip inside. However, this doesn't stop the occasional splash. If your pet has survived a wash cycle, or swimming in the ocean it could have damaged the chip. It is possible to fix this by getting rid of the battery and then cleaning the chip with isopropyl alcohol or electronic cleaner. Then, let it dry completely before putting it back. If the chip is fried it will have to be replaced with a brand new one. If your key fob doesn't work even after changing the battery or programming, there could be a problem with the receiver module. This is the part of the car which receives the signals from the keyfob and sends the signals to the key ignition system. It is possible to test it by using the spare key fob in case you have one. The central locking should activate and the ignition system light should be lit. If this doesn't happen then the receiver module may be defective. This is a costly fix but can be rectified by an expert at your local garage. Radio Interference The receiver module on your key could cause interference. Seat parts can provide a replacement key that has an entirely new receiver. To replace the battery, pull out the key part and using your thumb nail or flat head screwdriver gently prise upwards the key fob battery compartment cover. Remove the CR2025 that was in place and replace it with a brand new battery, ensuring that the polarity is right. You can also use a standard key that has the transponder chip transferred from the worn or damaged key. This can be cut and coded to your car if needed. Faulty Receiver Module The receiver module on your key fob is what transmits radio signals to your car. The module could be defective when the fob stops functioning. You can diagnose this using an OBDII scanner tool, or by contact your dealer. The remote keyless entry system is vulnerable to interference from other devices that operate at the same frequency. This can include mobile phone transmitters, electrical devices, and even household appliances. If the fob is exposed to clean tap water, it could be possible to clean the electronic chip using isopropyl alcohol and paper towels. If the fob's key is submerged in salt or soapy water, or sat on a wet floor for prolonged periods, this will almost certainly cause damage and it is likely to need replacing. To change the battery, use a small screwdriver with a flat head or a fingernail to push open the compartment for the button cell batteries (B). Remove the battery that was in place. Replace it with a brand new CR2025, making sure that the “+” direction is facing upwards.
