Fobs That Don't Work It can be very frustrating to drive a vehicle that is equipped with key fobs that stop functioning. Thankfully, there are some quick fixes to get your fobs back in good working order. A new battery is among the most common reasons for a fob not to work. You can purchase a replacement battery at an independent retailer in your area or on the internet. Make sure you are buying a battery compatible with your fob. When you have the replacement battery, take it out of its case and insert it in your fob. If the fob is not responding, open the case again and double-check that the connections are clean and in contact with the battery. The case will snap back together after you have the battery correctly installed. Check it again. If the fob does not respond to your vehicle, it may be required to program it. This process is typically done in a certified service center. However, if you have a spare fob that is compatible with your vehicle, you can try using it to determine if it will work. Another possible reason for your fob's malfunction is that it isn't receiving a signal from the vehicle's receiver. If the receiver is damaged it will not recognize the signals from your fob. You won't be able to lock or unlock doors or turn on the engine. A key fob that isn't functioning can also be due to a malfunctioning microprocessor in the fob. This microprocessor controls the transmission of electrical signal between the key fob that you have in your car and the receiver. If the microprocessor has a fault, it will need to be replaced. Fobs that aren't working could be caused by the fob being exposed too much heat or cold. The printed circuit board in the fob contains sensitive electronics and can be easily damaged by extreme temperature conditions or dropped fob repeatedly onto the ground. The best method to test for damage is to open the fob, take off the battery, and look for indications of wear and tear such as cracks in the circuit board, tiny electronic components that aren't connected to the circuit board buttons that are broken or out of alignment or bent or the battery contacts are oxidized. Transponder Chips It is likely that you have a chip inside your key fob if own a modern vehicle. These chips, sometimes referred to as transponder keys or “chipped keys” are a fantastic way of preventing car theft. Transponder chips communicate with the computer system in your car by radio signals. Whenever you use your key and the radio signal is sent to your car and if the chip's serial number matches your vehicle, then your car will start. If the serial number is not correct, your car will not start and your car's immobilizer will remain on. A transponder is a microchip that has its unique serial number that reacts to a specific radio signal. The car's onboard computer then recognizes this number and decides whether or not to allow the car to begin. This technology makes it much more difficult for novice or old-fashioned car thieves to steal your vehicle. However, this doesn't mean to claim that these chips are impervious to theft as car thieves have been known to defy their protection by employing sophisticated methods such as “hot wiring” cars. The majority of cars produced from 1998 have chips in the keys. Keys resemble an iron key with a cap of plastic. Keys can be cut in three different ways, based on the model and make. They can be laser-cut or standard-cut. However they all feature the transponder's top made of plastic. When you put the transponder into the ignition the key will send signals to its internal antenna. The antenna will receive a response from the chip, and then send it to the car's computers system. The system then compares the received code with the serial number that is stored in the database of the car. If they match the engine will then start and continue to run. The only method to duplicate a transponder keys is to get in touch with an automotive locksmith that has keys to replace your car and will program them for you. This is a challenging task that will cost you more than having a new metal key made by your local hardware store. Car dealerships will also charge a fee for this service since they need to pay for their expenses and their employees also earn their salaries. However, you can find a reliable locksmith that can provide you with keys at a fraction of cost you'd pay at the car dealership.
