Did Your Keyless Entry Stop Working?

Keyless entry fobs have been around for decades, making life much easier. But sometimes, they stop working when you least expect it. Here’s how to get things back on track before you call in a locksmith.

Did your keyless entry really stop working?

If your key fob has stopped working, the first step is to test your backup fob. If it works, then the problem is likely with the primary fob. If the backup also fails, then the issue might lie inside the car itself (e.g., a faulty receiver or lock mechanism).

Check the Battery

It might sound obvious, but don’t skip this step! The most common reason for keyless entry failure is a dead battery in your fob. To check, open up the fob by finding the slot on the side. If you’re hesitant, take it to a battery store where they can help you open it. Once open, check the number on the battery and buy a new one if necessary.

Get it Reprogrammed

Sometimes it’s not the battery, but rather a loss of memory in the fob that’s causing the issue. Reprogramming the fob can be tricky, but a car locksmith can reprogram it for you—saving time and money compared to visiting the dealer.

How Keyless Entry Works

Keyless entry systems rely on radio transmitters inside the key fob. When you press a button, the transmitter sends a unique code to a receiver inside your car’s lock system, engaging it to lock or unlock the doors. Some systems also feature smart keys that work through low-frequency antennas, allowing you to unlock or start the car without pressing a button.

If your fob is no longer functioning, it’s important to first check both the fob and the receiver inside the car. If all else fails, call lostcarkey.ae for fast, professional help.
