Broken Keys

After a few years of using it's not uncommon for keys to break. If your key is damaged inside the lock, you will have to replace it. If the rest of the lock's key is in good condition you might be able to repair it.

A paperclip can grasp the broken piece from both sides and push it out. If it's not stuck inside the lock, you can also try using a pair of pliers. If the key is broken very close to lock, you might require an "key extraction" tool that has an elongated bar with a barb similar to a screw.

If you have changed your batteries, but the fob still not working, it's time to explore a different solution.

Another reason that causes fobs to cease functioning is that the buttons are worn out. When you press the button on your fob, the contacts send a coded message to the receiver inside your car. These messages communicate the action you would like the key to perform. If the contacts on the fob's key are damaged they may not be able to press the button, or it may send a different signal than what you expected.

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

The engine won't be able to start even if the device inside the car doesn't recognise the signal. This is intended as security measure to prevent thieves from wiring vehicles and driving them away.

The chip does not contain an battery, therefore it does not need to be charged or replaced. It needs to be programmed by a person who has access to the ECU of your car. This is why you need to send your keys to a professional locksmith.

Transponder chips are available in a variety of varieties, but the most common are Rolling Code and Crypto. The key blanks are made of plastic with slots for the glass ampoule or transponder. It is then slid in a carrier or sleeve on the side (or bow) of the key. Here is a picture of a sleeve-carrier from an Ford seat key cover. You can extract the transponder from a broken key using an PVC pipe cutter with ratcheting or any other method to cut off the sleeve.

A regular transponder is more expensive due to the chip a smart or metal key, but it is cheaper than a fob. The cost of these keys is contingent on the model and make of your vehicle.
