To determine the cause of the issue, you will need to locate a small "key" that is embedded into the fob's seam that allows you to open it and take out the circuit board. Then, you can examine the electronic chip for corrosion or damage. To avoid damaging the chip, it's best to use a fresh paper towel.

Interference can occur if your vehicle is equipped with aftermarket equipment that transmits at the same frequency as your key fob.

The water can penetrate the rubber seals of the electronic chip, particularly when the key fob has been submerged in water for a long period of time.

If you have a programable Key Mazda you can clean the chip with isopropyl alcohol or an electronic cleaner to aid in its get back to its original functionality. If this doesn't help, it is likely that the chip has burned out and will need to be replaced.

If the door lock is not functioning, the issue could be a solenoid issue that requires analysis with the help of a professional auto repair shop.
A dead 12 volt battery could also stop the fob from functioning correctly. This can happen if the battery's charge is lost or the contacts are corroded and stop transmitting electricity. The good news is that a new battery can fix this problem in just minutes.
If the key fob won't work after you replace the battery or re-program it the problem could be related to the receiver module. This device detects radio frequency signals sent by the key fob to control the vehicle. If it fails it could be costly to fix.
To confirm if this true, place your spare key into the key slot. Then, turn the ignition ON. Press the key fob two times in 10 seconds, without taking it out. The Mazda 3 system synchronizes the key with the vehicle, so you can now use it as your primary driving remote. You can program up to three keys in this way.
