In this short video, you will see how to easily wind the key spring on the remote of a Fiat 500 if the key no longer comes out of its housing. It is very simple and accessible to everyone.

Using a small screwdriver or a coin, open the casing of the key and lift the spring catch located at the top of the key. Remove it from its housing in the key by lowering it slightly and make a complete clockwise turn with the key, passing it over the spring itself.

Now reattach the spring catch to the key, which is now wound.
