What to Do When Your Car Key Gets Wet?
1 Answers
Solutions for a wet car key: 1. Do not press any buttons immediately, as this can cause water to seep into the inner layers faster. First, use a dry cloth or paper towel to wipe the surface clean, then disassemble the key casing, remove the casing, take out the battery, and use highly absorbent paper towels to dry the internal moisture. 2. You can purchase a bottle of high-concentration alcohol from a pharmacy and use cotton swabs dipped in alcohol to gently clean the internal button contacts and other parts, then let it air dry. High-concentration alcohol has strong water-absorbing properties. 3. Use a hairdryer on the cool setting to dry the key—avoid using hot air as the internal circuit board should not be exposed to excessive heat. Additionally, you can place the key in a breathable bag and then into a dry rice container, as rice is highly absorbent and can help remove moisture. 4. Take it to a repair shop or 4S store for replacement or repair.
