I have fix almost all the problems with the car, except the keyless remote. I turned off the alarm and remote about 2 years ago with the little key. The car sat for 9 months without a battery in it after the valves and pistons hit. I turned the alarm on in the trunk and nothing seems to work.
The battery is really easy to change, but it's not intuitive how to get the fob apart. From memory, first you separate the two halves of the fob, then you rotate the central part that has the metal emergency key inside to reveal the battery. Maybe this picture will help?
#1 · Apr 30, 2017 Hi all, Needs some help here This morning i tried to unlock my 159 with my remote key, but nothing. I replaced battery - nothing. Tried 2nd Key - nothing. I can unlock manually and have checked the relevant fuse on the panel - (to the lower right of the steering wheel).
Poor battery connection The battery inside the key fob of Giulia has metal retaining clips that hold the battery in position and completes the circuit. If the clips don't have any tension, it can cause contact issues and the remote may not receive any power. Make sure the battery is firmly placed and does not move around when you shake the remote.
