  • How to fix Key Fob

    I was having problems with my key fob not working properly(not locking or having to hold the lock button for 2 minutes for it to respond). So since im cheap i came up with a 2 cent fix.

    Items needed:
    Broken Key fob
    Tin foil
    Hot glue sticks and gun

    First you need to open the key fob to do this take a screwdriver or pocket knife and pry it open.


    Then you need to get a piece of tin foil.

    You now need to cut that piece of tin foil into smaller pieces just large enough to fit into the button like the photo below

    Then take the pieces of tin foil out and plug in the hot glue gun. An important tip is to put very little glue, you don't want to have a glob of glue just enough to hold the tin foil in place.

    Now all you have to do is reassemble the key fob.

      Would this work if i just cut 1 piece of foil to cover all the buttons?

        Glad i can help rickygt and idk if it'll work if you just cut one large piece it might short something out, but if you do try it let us know what happens.

              Yeah that was the first thing i did. It worked fora long time after even with the broken prongs that hols the battery. i just broke apart a cotton ball to put pressure on the battery holder to keep it in place.
