Battery

The most simple way to fix the battery on your key fob is to replace it. The fob uses a small coin-shaped 3V battery (CR2032 or CR2025) that is available in general stores as well as home improvement shops and some auto parts stores. Make sure to use a brand new battery -- old batteries are often no longer good for anything and could cause damage to the circuit board.

Begin by opening the fob. It may be necessary to use a flat screwdriver to divide the two halves. Then, fit the screwdriver in the seam on both sides of the fob, and then lift up a couple of clips that hold it in place. These are easily broken so be cautious and work slowly.

Reassemble the fob after replacing the battery, and test to determine if it functions as it should. If it's not working, try pressing the button a few times and ensuring that the contacts are in good order. You could also try the fob with a spare to determine if the issue is not specific to the key. If not, then there could be another reason for the key fob not to function. It could be due to a worn button, for example. This would make the button work occasionally but not constantly.

Interference

The key fob is powered by a tiny transmitter that transmits a short-range signal to a receiver located in your car. Its purpose is to allow your car to recognize the fob, and open its doors when you approach it and to start when you push the ignition button within.

Interference can interfere with 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 operating on the same frequency can also interfere with the fob's signal. This can include garage door openers and tire pressure monitoring systems. It's possible that an RF transmitter in your home might interfere with the fob's signal, however, this is difficult to pinpoint without the assistance of a qualified test.

The fob should not be exposed to water or soapy residue. Water can cause corrosion and damage the circuitry. If this is the situation you'll need to wash the board with isopropyl or an electronic cleaner prior to installing an entirely new battery.

It is a good idea to test the functionality of the fob prior driving the vehicle. Test the voltage of the new battery using the help of a voltmeter to confirm that it's secure.
