However, there are many reasons why it might stop functioning, including a dead battery or water damage, as well as receiver module issues and signal interference. Fortunately, these issues can be easily addressed with just a few steps.
A dead battery in the coin is the most common reason for key fobs that don't lock or unlock. This can be easily repaired in a couple of minutes. If The Keylab was exposed to clean tap water or light rain, it is likely to be in good shape, but submerging it in soapy or seawater water could be harmful to the chip inside. In this situation you should clean it with a piece of paper towel and isopropyl alcohol prior to replacing the battery.
To change the battery in your key fob switch the key portion of the key and push upwards on the cover with your thumb nail or a flat-head screwdriver. Take the old CR2025 batteries out and replace it with the polarity pointed in the same direction as the previous one.

Another reason why your key fob may not work is because it's experiencing interference. This can happen when other transmitters are close by or you're near objects that block the signal. If you're experiencing this problem Try using your spare key to see whether it solves the issue.
If you have exposed your key fob to water, take off the battery immediately and clean it. This will stop corrosion on the chip's electronic component and ensure that it is receiving an uninterrupted supply of power. If the battery is faulty you can replace it by an alternative battery with the same dimensions and voltage. Then, reconnect the battery to the terminals and try the key again. This will reset all electronic components of the battery.
Dead coin battery
A dead coin battery is the most likely reason if your key fob won't lock or unlock the doors. You can fix it in a matter minutes and find replacement batteries at any auto parts retailer. Replace the battery with a new one that is the same dimensions, voltage and specifications. To avoid water damage you must also wash the electronic components that are exposed with isopropyl ethanol or an electronic cleaner. If you expose the chip in your Seat Ibiza's key to salty or soapy water, it will be destroyed.
If you notice that your key fob is becoming less effective at locking and unlocking doors it could be a sign that the battery has run out.
