Broken Keys
After a few years of use it's not unusual for keys to break. If your key breaks in the lock, you'll have to get a new one. If the remainder of the lock's key is in good condition it could be possible to repair it.
A paperclip can be used to grasp the broken piece on both sides, and then push it out. If the broken piece is not stuck too far inside the lock, try using pliers.

When you press the button on your fob the contacts inside send signals to the receiver inside your vehicle that indicate the actions you want the key to do. If the contacts on the fob's key are worn out, you may not be capable of pressing the button, or it may send a different signal than the one you wanted.
