Broken Keys

It's not unusual for keys to break after just a few years. If your key breaks in the lock, you'll have to purchase a new one. If the remainder of the lock key is still in good shape you might be able to fix it.

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

When you press the button on your fob, the contacts send coded messages to the receiver inside your car, which communicates the action you would like the key to do. If the contacts on your key fob are worn out, you may not be able to press the button or it might send a different signal than the one you wanted.

Transponder Chips

The transponder chips on your car key are an important component of the car key. They send out the signal using a unique frequency when the key is inserted in the ignition.

This is a security measure that was designed to prevent thieves from hot wiring their vehicles and driving them away.

The chip is not powered by a battery. Therefore, it doesn't require charging or replacement. It needs to be programmed by someone who has access to the ECU of your vehicle. This is why you should take your key to a professional locksmith.

Transponder chips come in a variety of forms that are widely used, but the most commonly used are Rolling Code and Crypto. Key blanks come with the head of a plastic with a slot that accommodates the glass ampoule/transponder, it is then slid into the carrier (or sleeve) on the outside of the key bow (plastic head). Here is a picture of a sleeve-carrier from a Ford Key. With the help of a PVC pipe cutter, or another method, you can remove the sleeve from a damaged Ford key.
