If the key fob still doesn’t work after cleaning and drying, the chip is probably fried and you will have to buy a new key. In case of exposure to salt water, or soapy or dirty water, it is recommended to clean the chip with isopropyl alcohol or electronic cleaner. If your Optima key fob stopping working after exposure to clean tap water or rain, immediately remove the battery and clean the electronic component with paper towel and let it dry fully before putting back the battery. Exposure to excessive water increases the risk of water damage, so you shouldn’t make this a habit. If your Optima key fob survived a wash cycle, or a deep bath in the ocean or pool water, it doesn’t make the key fob waterproof, it means you got lucky.

A splash of water or brief exposure to light rain should be fine, but exposure to excessive amount of water like submerging the key in the pool can cause the water to penetrate the seals and damage the chip. Your Optima key has rubber seals which prevents the water from getting to the electronic chip inside.
