Faulty Receiver Module Fiat key fobs send signals of up 50 feet to the vehicle, which will unlock and close the doors (and start the vehicle for vehicles with automatic transmissions). There are many reasons why the fob might not function. This includes a dead battery or water damage, worn out buttons an issue with the receiver, signal interference, or a malfunctioning chip. If the fob was located in a pocket which has suffered severe trauma (such as being dropped on the floor, or washed in the washer) the fob might not be able to communicate with the Body Control Module (BCM) of the vehicle. This is because the BCM is a secure system that will only accept signals from a genuine key and not any other. If this is the case, then you must replace your fob. A professional locksmith can handle every aspect of the replacement procedure and even program a new one for your 500. In fact, they can offer you a clone key that functions the same as your original fob (and costs only a fraction of the price).
