Broken Keys

After a few years of use it's not uncommon for keys to break. If your key breaks inside the lock, you'll need to replace it. If the rest of the key is in good shape you might be able to fix it.

A paperclip can be used to grab the broken piece on both sides and push it out. If the broken piece is not stuck too far inside the lock, you can try using a pair pliers. If the key is broken very close to lock, you might require an "key extraction" tool that has a bar on it with the same barb as screws. The bar is placed into the locking mechanism and then twisted until it digs the barb into it. The bar will then pull out the key.

If you have the appropriate tools, it's not difficult to replace the key on a keyboard. You'll need the key cap (the plastic piece that sits over the switch) along with a keypad and a key retention clip. Key caps are composed of metal or plastic posts that are placed into the slots on the switch. To replace a cap on a key take care to remove the internal parts of the key and note the location of them so you can replace them later. You may need to wash the keyboard with rubbing alcohol before proceeding.

Fobs Not Working

It might seem a bit absurd to think that your key fob could require routine maintenance, however, it's not uncommon for them to cease working at some moment. In lost seat car key is a simple one like dead batteries. If you've tried changing your batteries and your fob still does not work, it might be time to look at a different solution.

Another reason that can cause the fob to cease working is because the buttons have worn out. When you press a button on your fob, the contacts inside send coded signals to the receiver in your car that communicate what actions you want the key to perform. If these contacts are damaged and the button is not working, it may not work properly or it will send different messages than you wanted to.

A possible solution for this issue is to use a physical key to unlock your car's door or start the engine. You can reset the fob by following instructions in the owner's manual of your vehicle (check online for specific instructions).

If replacing the batteries or reprogramming doesn't work, it could be necessary to replace or repair your key fob. Modern keys have to be programmed using your vehicle's Vehicle Identification Number. Incorrect programming or wear and tear could cause damage to this programming.

Transponder Chips

The transponder chip inside your car keys is a very important component of the key. The transponder chip in your car key are an vital component of the car key. They send the signal, which has distinct frequency, when the key is put in the ignition. The device inside the vehicle will then recognize the code and can tell it's you. The engine won't start when the device inside the car does not recognize the signal, which is intended as a security measure to stop thieves from hot wiring cars and driving them away.

The chip isn't powered by a battery, therefore it doesn't require replacement or charging. It needs to be programmed by someone who has access to the ECU of your car. This is why you need to take your key to an expert locksmith.

There are a variety of transponder chip available on the market, with the most popular being Rolling Code and Crypto. Key blanks are made of plastic and have an opening for the glass ampoule/transponder. It is then slid into a sleeve, or carrier on the side (or bow) of the key. Here is a photo of one of these carriers from a Ford key here. With the help of a PVC pipe cutter, or a different method, you can get rid of the sleeve from a broken Ford key.

A regular transponder is more expensive due to the chip than a metal or smart key, but cheaper than a fob. The cost of these key will depend on the vehicle's make and model.
