A dead battery is the main reason for the Fiat Punto key not working. Other causes include water damage and incorrect battery replacement.

You should always hire an expert regardless of the root of your key malfunction. They will be able to provide the best solution for the specific issue.

Key to ignition not found

If you can't start your car it could be due to the ignition immobilizer. This is a feature that keeps thieves from starting your car in the first place, particularly if they don't have the right key to do it. The best method to resolve this issue is to test the battery inside your key fob. Replace it with a new one in the event that it's dead. This should fix the problem and allow you to start the car.

If your car is a bit newer, it probably has a transponder chip that is integrated into the key. When the key is inserted into the ignition, the transponder sends an ID code to the ECU. The computer then recognizes the code and activates the fuel system and ignition circuit. The engine will then begin to run and the security light should stop flashing.

These types of keys are more sophisticated and feature a more intricate engine immobilizer system. The system requires the key FOB to be present in the vehicle in order for the engine to start, and to remain in the hands of the driver in order to keep the vehicle running. It's costly to replace your FOB if you lose it, particularly for some models. It's therefore important to keep the key FOB in good shape and safe. A lost key could lead to costly repairs or even the possibility of a lockout. It's crucial to have a spare.

Remote Key Not Locking or Unlocking

Contact a locksmith if the car key fob you have not lock or unlock. It could be due to several factors, including water damage or malfunctioning buttons. Other causes include signal interference and the battery is dead. A locksmith will be able to re-program the key for your vehicle so that it works properly again.

Try using your spare car key to lock and unlock the vehicle before calling a locksmith. This will help identify a problem with the key fob. If the spare key doesn't work, you likely have issues with the receiver module in your car.

Modern cars are incredibly complex and often have many electrical systems that are working simultaneously. If one of these systems fails, it can lead to seemingly unrelated issues. This is why it's crucial to be able to pinpoint the source of a issue before replacing everything.

It is also a good idea to determine if the problem is caused by a different issue, like an antenna or wiring issue in the keyless entry system, software issues, or a malfunctioning door lock that is powered by electricity. These issues are more costly to solve than a dead battery on the key fob or an ignition key that has been lost. If you're experiencing problems you are having trouble with, contact a professional for an immediate and cost-effective fix.

Keyless Entry System Issues

Nearly all modern cars come with remote keyless entry systems. When you press the fob to lock or unlock the vehicle, it emits an alert that disables the standard engine control unit (ECU) immobiliser. If the chip is not functioning properly and the car won't start.

If you see the error "Key not detected" on your vehicle, it's a clear sign that the battery of your key fob has failed. You can replace the button battery in your key fob with ease and the key fob will then be able to communicate with the car's system.

The electronic components of the key fob can also be damaged due to exposure to water, specifically in salty environments such as a swimming pool or ocean. The rubber seals on the key fob are designed to protect the chip from damage. However, if the fob remains submerged in water, the chip will become fried and need to be replaced.

Other issues that can cause the fob to cease working include the battery's 12 volts being dead, receiver module problems, interference from nearby radio transmitters or a key that has not been paired requiring reprogramming. Consult an auto locksmith to fix your key fiat fob if it's not working properly. A lot of people will go to their local Fiat dealer when they are experiencing key fob issues, but this can be costly and inconvenient.
