Broken Keys

It's not uncommon for keys to break after a couple of years. If your keys break in the lock, you'll need to replace it. If the rest of the lock's key is in good condition you might be able to fix it.

A paperclip is a great way to grip the broken piece from both sides and push it out. If it's not encased inside the lock, you could also try using an plier. If the key is damaged close to the lock, you may need an "key extraction" tool with a bar on it with a barb similar to a screw. The bar can be installed into the lock and by twisting it, can push the barb into the key to pull it out.

If you have the right tools, it's not difficult to replace the keyboard key. You'll require the key cap (the piece of plastic that covers the switch) as well as a key pad and key retainer clip. Key caps have small metal or plastic posts that are located on the underside and fit into small slots on the switch. To replace a cap be sure to remove all the internal parts and mark their locations so that you can return them later. You may need to clean the keyboard first with ruby alcohol.

Fobs not working

It might seem a bit absurd to imagine that your key fob could require routine maintenance, however, it's not uncommon to see them stop working at some point. In some instances the issue is a simple one that is caused by dead batteries. If you have changed your batteries, but your device is still not working, it's time to explore a different solution.

Another common reason for fobs to stop working is because the buttons are been worn out. When you press the button on your fob the contacts inside send signals to the receiver in your vehicle to indicate what actions you would like the key to do. If the contacts are damaged, pressing the button may not work at all or it could send different messages than what you intended.

You can solve this issue quickly by using a physical car key to unlock your doors or start your engine. You can reset the fob following the procedure in your vehicle's owner's manual (check online to find instructions for your particular model).

If replacing the batteries and reprogramming the key fob doesn't work it is possible to replace it or have it repaired. Modern keys have to be programmed to correspond with your vehicle's specific VIN Certain errors or wear and tear could cause this programming to be corrupted.

Transponder Chips

The transponder chips in your car key are a very important part of the car key. They transmit an electronic signal with a specific frequency when the seat key fob is inserted into the ignition. The car's electronic device recognizes the code and can tell it's you. The engine won't begin to run when the device inside the car doesn’t recognise the signal. This is a security feature designed to prevent thieves from hot wiring their cars and stealing them.

The chip is not powered by a battery, therefore it doesn't require replacement or charging. It must be programmed by someone who has access to the ECU of your vehicle. This is why you should make sure you take your keys to an expert locksmith.

There are many kinds of transponder chip available on the market, the most popular are Rolling Code and Crypto. The key blanks are made of plastic and have slots for the glass ampoule/transponder. It is then slid in a carrier or sleeve on the side (or bow) of the key. Here is a photo of one of these sleeve carriers from the back of a Ford key here. Utilizing a PVC pipe cutter, or a different method, you can get rid of the sleeve off of a damaged Ford key.

A standard transponder is more expensive due to the chip than an electronic or smart key, but cheaper than a fob. The cost of these keys varies on the make and model of your vehicle.
