If the key fob has been unable to function for a while out of the blue, or after trying everything you can at home to resolve it e.g. replacing batteries, reprogramming or using the spare key fob, you may have a defective receiver module on your 500. The receiver module, located under the dashboard, is able to pick up radio frequency signals from your key fob. It converts them into electronic commands that the vehicle interprets. There's a simple method to reset the 500's internal system, including the keyfob. Disconnect the battery of 12 volts for about 15 minutes by disconnecting the negative cable first then the positive cable. Then reconnect the battery. This will clear any residual electrical charge, and then restart the car's computer. This can help get your key fob to work again. If the issue persists you should seek out an expert certified technician. They will be able to determine the root cause of any problems.
