Broken Keys
After several years of usage it's not unusual for keys to break. If your key has broken in the lock, you'll need to replace it. But if the rest of the key is still in good shape it could be possible to fix it.
A paperclip can be used to grasp the broken piece from both sides and lever it out. If it's not too far inside the lock, you could also try using an plier. If the key is broken close to the lock, you may need an "key extraction" tool that has an iron bar that has a barb similar to screws. The bar is placed into the locking mechanism and then twisted until it digs the barb into it. This will allow you to remove the key.
If you have the right tools, it's difficult to replace the keyboard key. You'll need the key cap (the piece of plastic that covers the switch) as well as a key pad and key retainer clip. Key caps are composed of metal or plastic posts that are placed into slots on the switch. To replace a cap carefully remove all the internal components and mark their positions so that you can return them later. You may have to clean the keyboard with rubbing alcohol prior to moving on.
Fobs Not Working
It may seem impossible that your key fob needs routine maintenance, but it's true that they can cease to function at any time. Sometimes, the issue can be as simple as the battery being dead. If you've changed your batteries, but the fob still not working, it's time to explore a different solution.
The buttons may also wear out, which is a common reason why a keypad stops working. When you press the button on your fob the contacts transmit coded messages to the receiver inside your car that communicates the action you want the key do. If these contacts are worn out, pressing the button may not function properly or it might send different messages than what you were hoping for.
A possible solution for this problem is to utilize a physical key to unlock your car's doors and start the engine. You can reset the fob by following instructions in the owner's handbook of your car (check online for specific instructions).
If replacing the batteries and reprogramming your key fob isn't working, you might need to replace it or have it repaired. Modern keys need to be programmed using your car's Vehicle Identification Number. Errors or wear and tear can cause a problem with the programming.
Transponder Chips

They send a signal that has an unique frequency when the key is put into the ignition. The device inside the vehicle is then able to recognize the code to know it's you. The engine will not start if the device in the car doesn't recognise the signal, which is intended as security measure to prevent thieves from hot wiring cars and driving them away.
The chip does not contain batteries, so it doesn't require charging or replaced. However, it must be programmed to the car by a person who has access to the car's ECU, which is the reason why you should take your key to a locksmith.
There are several types of transponder chip available on the market, with the most well-known ones are Rolling Code and Crypto. Key blanks come with heads made of plastic that have a slot that accommodates the glass ampoule/transponder. It is then inserted into a carrier (or sleeves) to the side of the key bow (plastic head). Here is a photograph of a sleeve carrying device from a Ford Key. With the help of a PVC pipe cutter, or another method, you can remove the sleeve off of a damaged Ford key.
