A Provocative Rant About Key Fob Repair Service
Key Fob Repair Service

Key fobs can be subjected to a lot of abuse. Buttons can become stuck or break, depending on how they are stored and how often they are jostled.

The majority of key fob issues are fixable. But some are more serious and will require professional help. A locksmith can be a great resource in these situations.


Dead Fob Battery

Car key fobs have gotten pretty intelligent, but it doesn't mean they can't sometimes get stuck in the "not responding" zone. If this happens, it's time to replace the battery. This doesn't solve the problem because it could be due to an issue with the connection on one of the terminals on the battery connector.

The car manufacturers are aware of the possibility of a problem, and they often include a mechanical key inside the fob to use in such an emergency. To access this, find the small release button or latch located behind the fob (check the user's manual for specifics). Pressing this can allow you to open the fob and access a physical key, which you can use to unlock your car.

Another indication that your fob's battery is dying is the fact that you have to be much closer to the car to unlock and open it than before. The transmitter of the fob is depleted in energy when its battery is depleted. This reduces its range.

Replacing the battery is easy and relatively inexpensive. You'll need to purchase the button-cell battery (which resembles an elongated silver coin) and follow the directions in the user manual to take out the old battery. After that, replace the new battery in the same way that the old one was placed (the positive side should be facing upwards towards the buttons). Test the lock/unlock function, and start the functions of your fob after reassembling it to ensure the new battery is placed correctly.

Some key fobs can be a little tricky to open, but you should be able to do it by locating the latch, switch or screw on the back of the fob and then tearing it apart. Be careful not to break the fob, since you'll require it to connect to your vehicle! You can also take the fob to an expert if you are not comfortable making it your own. Since it's a routine service that most auto shops will swap the battery on the fob for a small fee. Some dealers may even do it for no cost dependent on the make and model of your vehicle.

Fob not working

Replace the batteries if the key fob isn't working. This is the quickest fix and is the most likely way to fix the problem. If your device is not working after a battery change it could be due damage or another issue that requires professional attention.

Damage can happen to the car key fob for a variety of reasons, including physical trauma, water exposure or a corroded circuit board. These issues may prevent your key from sending a signal to the car's receiver and prevent the doors of your car and/or ignition from unlocking or turning on. If your fob has been damaged, it's likely that you'll need an expert to repair the part or the entire device.

The buttons on your fob might have worn out due to repeated use. The rubber may wear out making the buttons less 'clicky' or springy. They may also cease to register your presses. You may try wiping them down and adjusting them, but it is generally recommended to have the fob professionally examined to make more extensive repairs.

It is important to ensure that the new battery you're using is a exact match for your fob. You can find a list of compatible batteries online or at most hardware stores, and you must always refer to your owner's manual or engraving on the inside of your fob to determine which kind of battery it requires. If the battery isn't the right one for your needs, it may have issues transmitting strong signals and providing sufficient power to internal components.

In the rarest of cases it could be the case that the issue isn't with your key fob but more with the vehicle's receiver or electronic components. You can test this by using the physical key to open the door and then trying to start your vehicle using the inductive backup system (if there is). If your key's physical counterpart does not work or open your car, make sure a mechanic inspect the electronic components and the receiver to make sure they're working correctly.

Fob Damaged

A key fob has numerous components that work together, and one failure can cause other parts to fail. If a key fob ceases functioning, it is important to determine whether there's a clear cause like a damaged or cracked case, or a malfunctioning internal component. It's also crucial to examine other parts of the vehicle, such as the lights and horn to determine whether they're functioning normally.

If the fob for your key is damaged, it's recommended to obtain a replacement from your dealership or an auto locksmith instead of attempting to repair it. It might be necessary to reset the fob for the car. This is not something you can do at home and requires special equipment.

Over time the contacts on buttons of a key fob may wear out. This is more common when you drop the device or leave it outside in hot weather.

The internal wiring of a key fob may be worn out over time. This could result in the button not working when it's pressed, or only working when it's press very hard. This can also result in the vehicle not being able to start or unlock after the fob is pressed.

Most fobs have an outer cover made of plastic which can be loosened and cleaned using soap and water. This can bring a keyfob back to its original purpose. It's also a good idea for you to do it regularly to avoid dirt destroying the inside.

A damaged battery is usually the reason for a key fob to not turn on or work. Many mechanics and car dealers can change the batteries quickly, but if you feel at ease doing it yourself you can buy a battery at a hardware store or big-box retailer, and follow the instructions in your owner's manual or on YouTube to install it.

The worst-case scenario is that the key fob has internal damage, such as cracks within the case, tiny electronic components that are not fully connected to the circuit board, or bent or corroded battery contact points. If you notice any of these issues it is recommended to consult an auto locksmith or a dealer to obtain a new key fob and assistance in programming it for your vehicle.

Fob is not programming

Car key fobs are a handy option that lets you unlock your car's doors and begin the engine. When they stop working or fail to function, they can be quite frustrating. In some instances, the issue is solved by replacing the battery. However, in other situations it may require a more complex repair. The first step is to identify the reason for why the fob isn't functioning properly.

The most frequent reason for a fob not working is that it fails to recognize your vehicle. This can happen if the connection between the remote and your vehicle is cut off. This connection can be reset without the need for costly key fob repair .

When the key fob is no longer sending a strong signal, other problems could be experienced. This could be the result of a key is damaged or the battery is dead. In either case, you should try to reconnect the key with your vehicle. This can be done by following the instructions included with the key fob. It's also a good idea to carry a spare key with you in case you need to use it in the event that the primary key isn't working.

The fob might not be receiving a strong signal from the vehicle. This could be due a weak battery in the car, interference from wireless devices or an antenna issue. With a remote tester, you can test the fob and see if it is the problem. If the tester doesn't light up when one of the buttons is pressing, the battery may need to be replaced or the fob could be damaged.

An immobilizer on your car may hinder a fob from sending a clear signal. This could be the case when your key fob hasn't been programmed correctly, or if you have a software issue.

If you're unable to repair the fob, or it's not worth the trouble to try to fix it, you should buy a new one. Many online retailers offer low-cost options, and some can be delivered right to your home.
