Seat Alhambra Key Problems

Seat's jumbo MPV range is among the best in its class when it comes down to resale values. And with a new generation model on sale, it's better than ever.

Water Damage

If your key fob for the seat alhambra can withstand the wash cycle, a dip in the ocean or in a pool, then it's got a waterproof chip. However, don't do it often as excessive exposure to water can increase chances of the key fob getting damaged. If your key fob ceases to functioning after exposure to rain or clean tap water, unplug the battery and clean the electronic component using a towel. Allow it to dry completely before replacing the battery. If the battery is exposed to soapy or salty water it is recommended that you clean the chip using isopropyl alcohol or a electronic cleaner prior to attempting to put the battery back in.

Faulty Receiver Module

If you've tried a new button cell battery and the key fob still does not lock or unlock, it's likely the receiver module has discovered a problem. It's a simple and cheap fix. It is possible to disconnect the 12 volt battery for a couple of minutes (first take off the negative cable, then press the horn several times) to remove any remaining power. Then connect it in reverse. Positive first followed by negative.

ESP Warning Light - If the ESP symbol is illuminated, this is normal. It indicates that you're driving on terrain with poor traction. This could be caused by snow, gravel or surface water. If the ESP warning light remains flashing, it means there is a glitch in the system. It is best to be diagnosed using a iCarsoft i908 seat key cover OBD Code Reader kit which will provide you with a specific fault description.

Dead Coin Battery

A dead coin battery is one of the most common reasons for the keys for the seat to cease to function. The key fob comes with an insignificant button cell battery that keeps it running. Replace it with a new battery that is the same size, voltage, and specifications as the original. When replacing the battery on the key fob, remove the metal clips and make sure that the contacts of the key fob are clean and free of corrosion.

If the key fob has been exposed water, such as soapy or rain, it's recommended that you remove the battery and clean the electronic chip with alcohol or an electronic cleaner prior to inserting the new battery. The chip is sensitive to moisture and could be permanently damaged. If the key fob still not working after replacing the battery, it might be necessary to replace the entire key fob.

Faulty Receiver Module

If your key fob has stopped working after replacing the battery, but it did not help, or if it suddenly stopped working in a sudden manner, then your receiver module might have developed a fault. The receiver module is responsible for receiving the radio frequency signals sent by your remote key fob and transform them into electrical commands that are then utilized by other modules in the car.

If the receiver module is defective, it will not accept any commands from your remote key fob. In this instance you'll have to visit a dealer for reprogramming of your key fob and a new receiver module.

The key fob is covered with rubber to keep water from leaking into the electronic chip. However, if you submerge the key fob in salted or soapy ocean water, the chips inside may be damaged. You can attempt to clean the chip by applying isopropyl alcohol or electronic cleaner, but if your key fob still doesn't work after doing this, then you'll need to purchase a replacement.

If the keys are paired but the receiver module has developed a fault, you can try rebooting all electronics on board by disconnecting the 12 volt battery for a short period of time. Connect the battery in reverse (negative cable to positive first). This resets all the electronic components on board and bring them back into operation.

Electronic chip that is malfunctioning

The key fob comes with a tiny chip that transmits an indication from the key to the receiver module every time the key is used. If the signal received does not match the one recorded by the car the immobilizer will stop the engine and stop the vehicle from starting. However, if the key fob isn't working, and you can't reprogram it this could be due a damaged chip.

The chip in the key fob could need to be altered in order to make it function properly. This can be accomplished by taking the key fob away from its housing and using a needle or pin to make contact with each metal retaining clip. You will require replacement seat car key if they are damaged or corroded. Make sure the replacement batteries are of the same size, voltage and specifications as the original.
