Damages on remote car keys are not always electronic, neither is it always electrical. Some of the faults can be physical, depending on the skill and scope. The thing is, whether it is a damaged remote or a car key, it can be done with DIY instruction. But if you are unlucky enough not to achieve this using DIY, a visit to our electronic locksmith is strongly recommended.
We will also recommend you do the same with those keys that have either warred off to a point where they can’t activate the car lock or cut into two places. When these two things happen, these keys will turn the locking mechanism. But for those remote keys with slight damage, they cannot unlock the car; it is recommended that you check the error location using another valet key (if available). If all the keys fail eventually, then your key is definitely faulty. But in a case where the replacement keys are working, then you have succeeded in identifying the cause, and this is where we come in.
You may be surprised to hear this, but repairing damaged remotes or car keys that are physically intact is more complicated. Even changing the dead battery might not be as easy as it seems. This is because car keys make use of transponders that are linked to a specific car. While replacing a battery, when the car battery circuit is interrupted, the connection between the steering column and the switch chip may be lost. Still nevertheless, a small reprogramming may be required.
As far as the remote is not damaged, it is only left for the car manufacturer to take the required steps needed to repair the key and the car itself.
