seat ibiza key fob not working Alhambra Key Problems

Seat's jumbo MPV family is among the top models in its class when it comes to resales values. With a new generation model now on sale, it's better than ever.

There are a myriad of reasons why your key fob could not function properly, such as a dead coin battery water damage, receiver module issues or signal interference. This article will guide you through the steps to get it working.

Water Damage

If your seat alhambra key fob survives washing cycles or a bath in the ocean or pool then it's probably equipped with an amazing waterproof chip but do not use it regularly since exposure to excessive water increases the risk of the key fob becoming damaged. If the key fob stops working after exposure to clean tap water or rain, just take out the battery, wipe the electronic component with a towel and let it dry completely before putting the battery back into. In case of exposure to soapy or salty water, it is recommended to clean the chip with isopropyl alcohol or electronic cleaner prior to attempting to put the battery back in.

Faulty Receiver Module

If you have tried a new battery for a button and the key fob still cannot be locked or unlocked, it's likely the receiver module has discovered a problem. It is a relatively easy and cheap fix. You can disconnect the 12 volt battery for a few minutes (first take off the negative cable, then press the horn numerous times) to drain any remaining power. Then connect it in reverse. Positive first followed by negative.

ESP Warning Light - If the ESP warning symbol flashes this is normal and means that the car seat key is traveling on terrain in which the traction between the road surface and tyres isn't ideal, like gravel, snow or lots of surface water. If the ESP warning light remains flashing, it means there is a glitch in the system and should be identified using an iCarsoft i908 seat key cover OBD Code Reader kit which will give you a specific fault description.

Dead Coin Battery

A dead coin battery is one of the most common reasons for the seat alhambra keys to stop working. The key fob is powered by a small button-cell battery. Replace it with a brand new battery that has the exact size, voltage, and specifications as the original. If you're replacing the battery, ensure that you remove all metal retaining clips from the back of the key fob and make sure that the contact points are free of corrosion.

If the key fob was exposed to water (such as rain or soapy tap water), it is recommended to remove and clean the chip with an electronic cleaner or isopropyl alcohol prior to installing a new battery. The chip can be permanently damaged by moisture. If the key fob isn't working after replacing the battery, it could be necessary to replace the key fob.

Faulty Receiver Module

If your key fob was not working after replacing the battery but it did not work, or stopped working abruptly your receiver module might have encountered a problem. The receiver module is responsible for absorbing the radio frequency signals that are sent by the remote key fob and converting them into electrical commands that are then used by other modules within the car.

If the receiver module has suffered a malfunction that prevents it from responding to any of the commands transmitted by your remote key fob. In this case you will require a dealer to reprogramme your key fob as well as install an entirely new receiver.

The key fob comes with rubber seals that stop water from getting into the electronic chip inside. However, if you submerge your key fob in salty or soapy water, the chips inside could be damaged. If your key fob does not work, you could try cleaning the chip using isopropyl or electronic cleaner.

If the keys are successfully paired, but your receiver module isn't working, you can try to restart all the electronics on board by disconnecting the battery with 12 volts for a couple of minutes. Connect the battery in reverse (negative cable to positive first). This will reset the on-board electronic and restore their functionality.

Electronic chip that is malfunctioning

The key fob has an electronic chip that sends a signal to the receiver module each time the key is used. If the signal received does not coincide with the one stored by the car, the immobilizer will disable the engine and stop the vehicle from beginning. However, if the fob isn't working, and you are not able to reprogram it the issue could be due a damaged chip.

The chip in the key fob is not an indefinite part of the device, and might need to be replaced to get it working again. This can be done by getting the key fob removed from its housing and using a needle or pin to touch each metal clip. You'll need to replace these in the event of damage or corrosion-prone. Make sure that any replacement batteries have the same voltage, size and specification as the original one.

The seat ibiza key fob not working Alhambra is a well-designed and popular car but, as with any car, it can sometimes experience issues with particular components or equipment. A few owners have reported issues with the climate control system that is automatic. It may fail and cause problems, and then get stuck in a specific setting. The infotainment systems can also fail and freeze the screens.
