    Omg, you SAVED me! Although I purchased my Toyota Corolla in 2018, I had one key fob I never used. It was in my file as a back up. I just went to use it and it didn’t work. I tried other recommendations on UA-cam but none of their suggestions help me. Your help has been tremendous and I won’t have to go to the Toyota dealer now or buy another key fob, thank you! thank you! thank you!

    Pro Tip. If the steps in this video do not work open it up again and with a small screwdriver get underneath the contacts and pry them upward so battery contact improves. I did this voila FOB was restored.

    Thanks, your instructions worked! After changing the battery you have to reprogram the FOB/vehicle connection.

    Thank you your advice worked. I turned the key several times in the ignition without actually starting the car and voila the fob engaged again.

      Hi ladies, I’m a little late but hopefully this helps someone down the road - push button ignition vehicles usually have a key slot in the dash storage, on the passenger side, pointed toward the center of the vehicle.

    • @trcbyatch
      @trcbyatch 10 місяців тому

      Most (if not all) key fobs have an actual key inside the fob itself. I don't know if it's always the case, but it's likely the key ring loop. There would be a switch or button which is used to release the key. It varies from brand to brand.

    • @kortniewithak5885
      @kortniewithak5885 10 місяців тому +8

      @trcbyatch having a key isn't the problem, we are talking about cars that don't use a key to start. We have push button ignitions. You push a button and the car starts. There's no place to put a key. The key hidden in the FOB unlocks the door.

    Thanks, my wife alerted me to not being able to lock her Mitsubishi ASX with the key fob remote button. I went and got new batteries and replaced them in both sets of keys. I tried your methods with no success, only to find she had not shut the tailgate properly. To her credit the door open light was not showing on the instrument cluster. I slammed the tailgate shut and problem fixed. Oh well, at least the batteries are new now.

    I replaced the battery several times and none worked. I took it to Nissan Dealers Parts counter where they have a test meter that shows if the FOB is putting out a signal. It showed no signal from the FOB. They replaced the battery and it worked fine. Same CR2025 but Nissan part. I have no explanation but that's what happened.

    Work this one out...
    UK Kia Picnato 2022 smart keyless entry/start.
    Keyfob battery low so starting to fail to open doors and start car unless touched against stop/start button.
    1) Put in brand new CR2032, checked high state of charge at 3.3V - no luck, little light on fob not even flashing and car cannot be opened.
    2) Rechecked everything inc inspect fob for wear or damage (none found) and cleaned fob internal contacts with rubber and electrical contact cleaner, battery also - no luck, little light on fob not even flashing and car cannot be opened.
    Duff keyfob?
    3) Tried same new battery in spare keyfob - same no luck, little light on fob not even flashing and car cannot be opened.
    Neither keyfob working with new battery so must be a duff battery somehow?
    4) Tried another brand new CR2032, checked high state of charge at 3.3V in both fobs - same no luck, little light on fob not even flashing and car cannot be opened.
    What! Two brand new duff batteries, really?
    5) Tried an old CR2032, checked med-low state of charge at 3.1V in both fobs - success, both fobs working as they should.
    6) Rechecked both brand new CR2032s, visually perfect, all dimensions same as original battery.
    7) Tried both brand new CR2032s in another car's fob - work perfect.
    What!!! Makes no sense.
    How can 2 verified working Kia fobs be tried with 2 brand new batteries of the correct spec not work but the batteries work fine elsewhere???
    No, I am not making any of this up!

      If you hold the electronic key right next to the push button even if the keys battery is dead it will start. The electronic key has a transmitter. Has to be right next to the button with foot on break. It will start the car so you can get to the store and buy a new battery. Also when you get the battery don't put it in upside-down like I did. 😅
