Dead Key Fob Battery

Modern key fobs let us open trunks, doors, and tailgates with ease without the need for a key in the car. Some key fobs even have an inbuilt key that can be used to start cars. These key fobs are powered by a small battery. If the battery dies and the key fob dies, it will not be able to transmit the signal needed to start the vehicle. Fortunately, there are many ways you can fix the problem and get your car operating again.

The first step is to find out if your key fob is in fact dead. If it appears to be dead, you'll have to replace the batteries. You can do this yourself by removing the key fob from its clip or using a small flat head screwdriver to break it. Be careful not to apply too much pressure or you may damage the fob. It's also important to make sure that you replace the correct type of battery. Most key fobs use the CR2032 3-Volt battery, however certain models might require something different. You can find out what kind of battery your car needs in the owner's manual, or you can go to an Interstate All Battery Center and get a specialist in battery care to assist you.

If you are unable to start your remote car key repair using this method, you should contact roadside assistance.

Broken Key Ring

The chip inside the key fob is the one that communicates with your car's immobilizer system in order to start the engine. The chip could be damaged or there might be programming mistakes. If this happens your key fob will not be able to transmit the correct identification code, and your car won't begin. A damaged transponder may be caused by physical damage to the key shell or wear and tear on the contact pads.

Usually, when the key fob begins to struggle with your vehicle's immobilizer system there will be specific warning indicators on your dashboard. These may include warnings about errors, flashing lights or the key not locking the car. If you are noticing these warnings contact your local locksmith immediately for a replacement key fob or Repair Car Keys.

Broken Key Loop

One of my MK5 keysfobs fell off the small key ring that is at the top, where it joins the keyfob. It's made of soft metal or plastic. I've made a hole, then wet-sanded the area to make it stronger. However, I'm sure that's not helping.

I've also tried wrapping the broken portion of the ring with clear tape, but it does not seem to do any good. This is a pity, as I use the tiny split ring to keep my keys in the right place.

If the case of the key fob is broken, you can usually open it and replace the battery if the battery isn't dead. There are online kits available however they're only an interim solution. It is more efficient to get it fixed by a mechanic. You may also find a replacement case at an home improvement store or a locksmith. They're not as expensive as the new key fob.
