This is a simple fix. Find something absorbent to put inside the fob. A paper towel or tissue will be a good choice. Then you can use the cotton swab, dipped in isopropyl ethanol to wipe down the circuit board and other components to clean out any battery acid residue or contamination.

The scanner will ask you for information about your specific vehicle including the model and make as well as the engine type and VIN number.

Faulty Receiver Module

The cable should be removed first from the negative terminal, then the positive terminal. After 15 minutes, you can reconnect your battery in reverse order. First, positive, then negative next.

The internal chip in the key fob could be damaged by water or dirt. If your key has stopped working after it got wet, wipe the electronic component with isopropyl alcohol or an electronics cleaner before installing the battery. If your key has stopped working after being exposed to salted or soapy water, it is likely that the chip has been damaged and requires to be replaced.

Another possibility is a damaged antenna module fuse that sends the lock and unlock signal to the vehicle. The fuse could be found in a variety of locations, based on the type of vehicle. For example it could be under the rear seat, or in the trunk, or on the side of the dashboard.
