After several years of usage it's not uncommon for keys to break. If your keys break in the lock, you'll need to replace it. But if the remainder of the key is in good shape it could be possible to fix it.
A paperclip is a great way to hold the broken piece from both sides and push it out. If it's not stuck within the lock, you could also try an plier.

This is intended as a security measure to stop thieves from hot wiring cars and stealing them.
The chip is not powered by a battery, so it doesn't require replacement or charging. It must however be programmed into the car by someone who has access to the car's ECU This is why it's important to take your key to locksmith.
Transponder chips come in a variety of varieties, but the most common are Rolling Code and Crypto. The key blanks are made of plastic and have slots for the glass ampoule or transponder.

With a PVC pipe cutter, or a different method, you can remove the sleeve from a damaged Ford key.
