There is nothing more frustrating than stepping into your car after a long day, and discovering that the key fob battery is dead. Luckily, this is an easy fix using simple battery replacement from a hardware store or big box retailer.

Incorporating a spare key fob to your Mazda 3 can be an affordable way to keep yourself from the hassle of being towed to the dealership and having them reprogram your keys.

Battery Replacement

You can replace the battery on your Mazda 3 keyfob at home. It is recommended to replace it when the battery goes out or if you see a message saying "Low keyfob battery" on the multi-information display. Replace battery."

To open the key fob's case You'll need a tape wrapped flathead screwdriver as well as some patience. The flathead screwdriver's tip in a notch, or gap, on the bottom metal of the Mazda 3 key fob to remove the lower part. Repeat the process for the top piece of metal, but be sure not to damage the rubber ring that is on the bottom of the case.

Once the fob case has been open, you'll be able to see the slot on either side of the case, which houses the battery. Start with one side of the case and gently pry it open. Take out the old CR2025 and replace it with a brand new one, making sure you put it on its face to ensure proper the polarity. Attach the cap to the battery again and secure both sides of your key fob case by pressing until they click.

After you've replaced the battery, test the fob to confirm it functions by locking and unlocking your doors. If everything is in order, your Mazda 3 remote features can be used again.

Pairing Issues

This could mean that the transmitter in your car has been damaged. This typically requires the assistance of a professional for repair and may require a new replacement key fob.

If you've tried replacing the battery and reprogramming the key fob, but has not solved the problem it is possible that the chip inside the key fob is defective. This can happen if the keyfob has been dropped or exposed to saltwater or touched by dirty fingers.

To determine the cause it is necessary to locate a small "key" that is embedded into the seam of the fob that lets you lift it open and remove the circuit board. You will then be able to check for any damage or corrosion on the electronic chip. It is recommended to use a clean paper towel to avoid damaging the microchip.

If you're not sure then you should also examine the battery connector terminals for cracks or breaks. If this is the situation you can solder the terminals back to their original position will usually restore the functionality of the key fob. Also, you can check the buttons to determine whether they've been worn out or damaged. If the buttons are loosened, they can be soldered back into place unless one has physically snapped.

Interference Signals

Few things are more frustrating than gazing at an "No Fob Detected" message when trying to start your vehicle. It usually happens at the most inconvenient time, such as when you're running late for work or picking up children from school/daycare. There are some things you could try to figure out the root of the issue.

Interference signals can disrupt the remote key fob's signal from the vehicle, causing it to not function properly. This can be caused by objects like buildings, weather conditions and transmitters that use the same frequency. Interference may also occur if you have aftermarket equipment installed in the vehicle that transmits on the same frequency as the key fob.

The key fob could be damaged if exposed to water or salty water. The rubber seals on the chip's electronic components can be penetrated by water, especially if it is submerged for an extended period of time, like in a swimming pool or at the beach. The chip can stop working and may require replacement of the keyfob. If you have a key that can be programmed or programmed, you can clean it with isopropyl or electronic cleaners to restore its functionality. If this doesn't work the chip, it's likely fried and will need to be replaced.

Locking and Unlocking the Doors

The buttons on the key fob transmit electronic signals to a solenoid inside the car. It then transforms the signal into a mechanical action that locks and unlocks the doors. If the door lock is not working, the issue may be a solenoid issue that requires some investigation by an expert auto repair shop.

A dead 12 volt battery can also prevent the fob from functioning properly. This could happen if the battery has lost its charge or if your contacts get corrosion-prone. This issue can be resolved in minutes with a new battery.

The receiver module could be the reason why the key fob isn't working after you replace the battery or re-program the device. The device interprets radio frequency signals sent by the key fob to control the vehicle. It can be a costly repair if it is damaged.

To test if this is true, put your spare key into the key slot. Then, turn the ignition on. Press the key fob twice within 10 seconds without taking it. The mazda 3 keys 3 system will now sync the key to the car and you can use it as your primary remote for driving. This allows you to program up three keys.
