It's not uncommon for keys to break after a couple of years. If your key has broken in the lock, you'll need to replace it. If the rest of the lock key is still in good shape it could be possible to repair it.

A paperclip works well to hold the broken piece on both sides and leverage it out. If the broken piece isn't trapped too far in the lock, you can try using pliers. If it's broken close to the lock, you might need a tool called a "key extractor" that has the form of a bar that has barbs on it that are like screws. The bar can be put into the lock and then by twisting it, you can dig the barb into the key to remove it.

Fobs Not Working

If you've changed your batteries, but the fob still not functioning, it's time to try another solution.

Another reason for fobs to stop working is because the buttons have worn out. When you press a button on your fob the contacts inside send coded signals to the receiver inside your vehicle that indicate the actions you would like the key to execute. If the contacts on the fob's key are worn out, you may not be in a position to press the button, or it could send a different signal than the one you wanted.

One solution to this problem is to use a physical key to unlock your car's doors and start the engine. You can reset your fob by following instructions in the owner's guidebook of your car (check online for specific instructions).

The engine won't begin to run when the device in the car isn't able to recognize the signal. This is a measure of security designed to prevent thieves from hot wiring their vehicles and stealing them.

The chip isn't powered by a battery, which means it doesn't require replacement or charging. However, it must be programmed into the car by an individual who has access to the car's ECU, which is why it's important to bring your keys to locksmith.

Transponder chips come in a variety of forms, but the most common are Rolling Code and Crypto. The key blanks have heads made of plastic that have slots that hold the glass transponder or ampoule, it is then slid into a carrier (or sleeve) on the side of the bow (plastic head).
