Dead Coin Battery
A dead battery is the most common reason for your Fiat 500 keyfob not locking or unlocking the doors. The coin cell battery in the key fob will drain quickly in the event that you don't use it often enough. If your remote started to show signs of weakness such as a loss of range and stopped working completely The battery is probably dead.
The battery inside the key fob is secured by metal clips that hold it in place. If the clips aren't tight enough, it could lead to contact issues that will stop your remote from receiving power. With a small flathead screwdriver, pull the retaining clip outwards to remove the battery and then insert a fresh one. Choose a battery that is the same size, voltage and specifications as the original.
Water exposure can cause the key fob to corrode, or even become damaged. Even a quick bath in warm, soapy water could cause damage to the chip. It is recommended to keep your key fob in a dry location.

Faulty Receiver Module
Fiat key fobs send an electronic signal to the vehicle that will unlock and close doors (and start the car for those with an automatic transmission) up to 50 feet. However, there are some things that could cause the fob to stop working.

If fiat car key was in the pocket of someone who has suffered severe trauma (such as being dropped on a hard floor or being washed in the washer) the fob might not be in a position to connect with the Body Control Module (BCM) of the car. The BCM is a security device that will only accept signals from genuine original keys.
