Radio Interference

The antenna is responsible for transmitting signals between the key fob and the receiver module. Using an OBDII scanner can assist in diagnosing the problem by revealing what's wrong with the system. The scanner will ask for details about the vehicle you own like the model and make as well as the engine type and VIN number.
Faulty Receiver Module
The key fob contains an electronic receiver that sends the signals needed to lock and unlock. If this module is damaged that causes it to fail, the entire onboard electronics will cease to function.

This will remove any remaining electricity that could be causing issues. Remove the cable first from the negative terminal, then from the positive terminal. After 15 minutes, connect the battery in reverse order beginning with positive first, and negative second.
The presence of dirt or water could harm the internal chip of the key fob. If your key quit working after it got wet, you need to clean the electronic component using isopropyl alcohol or an electronics cleaner before reinstalling the battery. If the key ceases to function after exposure to salted or soapy water, it is likely that the chip has been damaged and requires to be replaced.
