Broken Keys

After a few years of use it's not unusual for keys to break. If your key has a break inside the lock, you will need to replace it. However, if the rest the key is still in good shape you may be able to fix it.

A paperclip is a great way to hold the broken piece on both sides and leverage it out. If it's not too far within the lock, you could also try using two pliers. If the key is damaged very close to lock, you might require a "key extraction" tool that has a bar that has the same barb as a screw. The bar is put into the locking mechanism, and then twisted to dig the barb into it. The bar will then pull out the key.

If you have the right tools, it's not difficult to replace the keyboard key. You'll need the key cap (the part of plastic that covers the switch) as well as a key pad and key retainer clip. The key cap is comprised of either metal or plastic posts that are placed into the slots of the switch. To replace a key cap, carefully take off the internal parts of the key.

Fobs not working

It might seem unlikely that your key fob needs regular maintenance, but they could stop working at any time. In some cases, the problem is an easy one, such as dead batteries. If you've changed the batteries, but your fob still not functioning, it's time to try another solution.

Transponder Chips

The car's electronic device recognizes the number and is sure it's you. The engine won't begin even if the device inside the car does not recognize the signal. This is intended as security measure to prevent thieves from wiring cars and stealing them.

The chip is not powered by a battery. Therefore, it doesn't require replacement or charging. It must however be programmed to the car by someone with access to your car's ECU This is the reason why you should bring your keys to a locksmith.

Here is a photo of one of these sleeve holders from the back of a Ford key here. With a PVC pipe cutter, or a different method, you are able to remove the sleeve from a damaged Ford key.
