Radio Interference

If your key fob isn't working suddenly it could be a result of radio interference. This is a problem that can be caused by devices using the same frequency as a remote control. Certain wireless security devices, such as LED lights sold on the market, can interfere with the RF signal. If you have one of these devices at home, try moving them to a different room to see if they help.

In addition to devices using the same frequency, there are also environmental factors that could hinder the operation of a key fob. For instance, metal objects can influence the strength of the signal. Rainy weather can also cause the fob's antenna to turn, which results in weaker signals. In certain situations, the key fob may not respond to the radio signals even if it is near to the vehicle.

To ensure that your key fob is healthy, check the battery. The battery must be in good condition and the contacts should not be damaged by corrosion. A damaged connection is the main reason the keyfob isn't responding to radio signals from the vehicle. A drained battery can cause the fob to malfunction. If you replace the battery but the issue persists, it's a good indication that the antenna is not functioning properly. A professional locksmith can examine the key fob and make any necessary repairs.
