Faulty Receiver Module Fiat key fobs transmit a signal to the vehicle which will unlock and lock doors (and start the car for those with an automatic transmission) up to 50 feet.

If the fob was located in an area that has experienced severe trauma (such as being dropped onto the floor or washed in a washing machine), it may not be in a position to connect with the Body Control Module (BCM) of the vehicle.
