Citroen Berlingo Key Fob Troubleshooting

If your key fob has bathed in soapy or salt water, it might not function properly again - even after a new battery and updating. This is because the internal chip has been damaged by exposure to water.

Water Damage

After getting your key fob back from whatever puddle, pool or washing machine it's been swimming in, clean it of as much water as you can by shaking it.

Dead Battery

The most frequent cause of the key fob not functioning inside your Berlingo is an inactive coin battery.

Radio Interference

In addition to devices that operate on the same frequency, there are environmental factors that can interfere with a car's key fob. Metal objects, for instance, can interfere with the strength of the signal. Rainy weather can also alter the antenna of the fob, which results in a weaker radio signal. In some instances the Broken Key Extraction fob might not be able to respond to radio signals, even if it is located near the vehicle.

Contacts that are damaged by corrosion are an important reason for a key fob that is not responding to radio signals. A drained battery can cause the fob to malfunction. If you replace the battery but the problem persists, it's possible that the antenna is damaged. A professional locksmith can inspect the key fob and make the required repairs.
