Broken Keys

It's not unusual for keys to break after a few years. If your key is damaged in the lock, you'll need to replace it. If the rest of the key is in good shape, you might be able to repair it.

A paperclip can be used to grab the broken piece from both sides and push it out. If the broken piece isn't trapped too far in the lock, you can try using pliers. If the key is broken close to the lock, you may need a "key extraction" tool with an iron bar that has an elongated barb that is similar to a screw. The bar can be placed inside the lock and then by twisting it, you can dig the barb into the key to remove it.

If you have the proper tools, it's not difficult to replace the keyboard key. You'll need the key cap (the part of plastic that covers the switch) along with a key pad as well as a key retainer clip. Key caps have small metal or plastic posts on its underside that fit into small slots on the switch. To replace a cap, carefully remove all internal components and mark their positions so you can return them later. You may need to clean the keyboard first by rubbing alcohol.

Fobs Not Working

It may seem far-fetched to think that your device might require regular maintenance, but it's not unusual for them to stop working at some moment. In some instances the issue is simple that is caused by dead batteries. If you've changed your batteries, but your device is still not working, it's time to look for a different solution.

Another reason for fobs to stop working is that the buttons are worn out. When you press the button on your fob the contacts inside transmit coded signals to the receiver inside your vehicle that indicate the actions you would like the key to complete. If the contacts on the fob's key are worn out or damaged, you might not be capable of pressing the button, or it may send a different message from what you expected.

You can fix this problem quickly by using a car key to unlock your doors or start your engine. You can reset your fob by following instructions in the owner's manual of your vehicle (check online for specific instructions).

If changing the batteries or reprogramming doesn't work, it may be necessary to replace or repair your key fob. Modern keys must be programmed using your car's Vehicle Identification Number. The wear and tear can affect this program.

Transponder Chips

The transponder chip on your car keys is a very vital component of the key. The transponder chips inside your car key are a very vital component of the car key. They send a signal that has an unique frequency when the key is put in the ignition. The device inside the vehicle is then able to recognize the code and can tell it's you. The engine won't start when the device inside the car doesn't recognize the signal, which is an effective security measure to deter thieves from wiring cars and driving them away.


The chip isn't powered by a battery, which means it doesn't require replacement or charging. However, it must be programmed to the car by an individual who has access to the car's ECU This is why it's crucial to take your key to locksmith.

Transponder chips are available in various varieties, but the most common are Rolling Code and Crypto. Key blanks are made of plastic, with an opening for the glass ampoule/transponder. It is then placed into a sleeve, or carrier on the side (or bow) of the key. There is a picture of one of these sleeve holders from a Ford key here. With a PVC pipe cutter, or a different method, you can remove the sleeve off of a damaged Ford key.

A standard transponder key is more expensive than a regular metal key because of the chip but is less expensive than a fob, or smart key. The cost of these keys depends on the vehicle's model and model.
