Common Key Fob Problems Orange County Drivers Face
Since you live in Orange County, you’re already familiar with how fast and go-go-go life is. It’s either long drives on the I-405, late night drive-thomes from Disneyland, or that Friday-night trip to the grocery store in Santa Ana. Your key fob is a lifesaver to it all. But even like any piece of technology, it deteriorates over time. Here are the most common issues we encounter:
Dead or Weak Battery
Most car key fobs operate on small coin lithium batteries such as CR2032 or CR2025. They lose charge over time, producing weak or unreliable signals. Our locksmiths stock replacement batteries for all major manufacturers and reset with professional devices such as the Autel MaxiIM IM608 Pro to get your fob to talk well to your car.
Broken or Damaged Buttons
Heavy use, accidental falls, and dirt accumulation tend to crack or make buttons nonfunctional. Rather than replacing the entire fob, we provide micro-soldering fixtures and button membrane replacements at an affordable price to bring function back.
Signal & Programming Issues
Key fobs operate with radio frequency signals that may lose synchronism or be corrupted. In case your car is not responding, our locksmiths utilize high-level programmers like OBDSTAR X300 DP Plus to reprogram your fob immediately so that there will be good communication with your car’s ECU.
Water or Physical Damage
Spills, rain, or a swim in the pool can ruin circuits within your fob. We offer ultrasonic cleaning, corrosion removal, and board-level repair, usually saving customers from the expense of dealership replacement.
Total Key Fob Failure
When the fob is totally dead, we determine if it can be restored. If not, we offer on-site replacement and programming at a fraction of the cost of dealerships so that you are back on the road in no time.
