Dead Coin Battery One of the most frequent reasons for the seat alhambra keys to stop working is a dead battery. The key fob contains a small button cell battery that keeps it powered. It should be replaced with a brand new one that is identical in size, voltage and specifications as the original. If you're replacing the battery be sure to remove all metal clips from the back of the key fob. Also make sure the contacts are clean and free of corrosion. If the key fob was exposed to water (such as soapy tap water) it is recommended to remove and clean the chip with an electronic cleaner or isopropylethanol before installing a brand new battery. The chip can be permanently damaged by water. If the key fob still doesn't work after replacing the battery it might be necessary to replace the key fob. Faulty Receiver Module If your key fob was not working after replacing the battery, but it did not perform, or stopped working suddenly the receiver module could have developed a problem. The receiver module is responsible for absorbing the radio frequency signals sent by your remote key fob, and convert them into electrical signals which are then processed by other modules in the car. If the receiver module has suffered a malfunction that prevents it from responding to any of the commands transmitted by your remote key fob. In this case it is necessary for a dealer to reprogramme your key fob as well as install the new receiver. The key fob is encased by rubber to block water from getting into the electronic chip. If you submerge the key fob in salty or soapy water, it may damage the chips. If your key fob doesn't work, you can try cleaning the chip using isopropyl or an electronic cleaner. If the keys are in a pair but the receiver module has developed a fault you may try to restart all of the electronics on board by removing the battery with 12 volts for a short period of time. Then, reconnect the battery in reverse order (negative cable first, then positive). This will reset the on-board electronic circuits and restore their functionality. A malfunctioning electronic chip The key fob is outfitted with a tiny chip which transmits a signal from the key to the receiver module every time the key is used. If the signal does not match the one that the car has stored, the immobilizer will disable and stop the vehicle from starting. If, however, the key fob is not working and you are not able to reprogram it this could be due to a faulty chip. The chip in the key fob is not an irreplaceable part of the device and could need to be replaced in order to make it work again.
