   Take the cover off the fob & gently warm the innards with a hairdryer.

   wd40 we used to use this on rc car electrics after using them in the wet as it's a water repellent, we used to take the bits apart and coat the insides with the stuff, proper wd40 though not the cheap stuff from the corner shop

   I wouldn't even bother. Just open the fob, take it apart and leave it to dry overnight.
