The most simple way to fix the battery of your key fob is to replace it. The key fob is powered by a small coin-shaped battery (CR2032 or the CR2025) that can be found in most general stores, home improvement stores, and auto parts stores. You should use a new battery. Old batteries can cause damage to the circuit boards and are no longer useful.

Begin by opening the fob. It may be necessary to make use of a flat screwdriver to break the two halves. Then, fit the screwdriver in the seam on both sides of the fob and lift up a couple of clips that hold it in place. They can easily break so be cautious and work slowly.

For instance it could be because the button is worn out. This will only make the button work infrequently and not always.

Interference

The key fob utilizes a small transmitter to send the short-range radio signal to a receiver within your vehicle. Its function is to allow your vehicle to recognize the key fob, then open its doors when you are near it, and then turn on when you push the ignition button.

Interference can sometimes interfere with communication. If you charge your second-generation Apple Pencil while holding the fob (via iGeneration), it could prevent you from unlocking the vehicle.

Other electronic devices that operate on the same frequency as the fob may interfere with the signal. This could include garage door openers, as well as tire pressure monitoring systems. Even a transmitter inside your home could be interfering, but this is not easy for a professional to test.

It's possible that your key fob simply needs to be changed in its programming. The transmitter in the key fob needs to be recognized by mini r56 key programming's receiver.
