Dead Coin Battery
If your key fob has stopped working but you're not in a position to reprogram it using a new code, then the most likely reason is a dead battery in the coin. Replacing this should get it up and running in no time - you can do it yourself in less than 10 minutes.
Start by opening the key from the side, without the rings made of metal. You can remove the clip-on lid by using your nail. The old battery will be pulled out through the hole in the middle. Be aware that if you replace the battery improperly or using a battery that's not suitable, it can damage the remote. Replace the battery with the same voltage, size and specification as the original.
In addition, if the key fob you have purchased has been submerged in water, you could require cleaning the chip prior to replacing the battery. This is particularly important if you've dropped it in the ocean or in soapy washing water. This must be addressed immediately since exposure to water could damage the electronic chip and cause the key fob to stop functioning.
Worn Buttons

If your key fob doesn't work after replacing it or reprogramming it or replacing the receiver module, it may be defective.
Water Damage

If your key fob won't work even after changing the battery or reprogramming, the issue could be with the receiver module. This is the part in the car that receives signals from the key fob and transmits them to the key ignition system. If you have a spare key fob, you can test it. The central locking should turn on and the ignition system light should illuminate. If this does not happen it is possible that the receiver module may be faulty. This is a costly fix but it can be fixed by a professional at your local garage.
