Fobs Not Working
It might seem a bit absurd to think that your device may require regular maintenance but it isn't unusual for them to cease functioning at some point. In some cases the issue is simple like dead batteries. If you have changed your batteries, but your device is still not working, you should try another solution.
Another common reason for the fob to cease working is because the buttons have worn out. When you press the button on your fob the contacts inside send codes to the receiver inside your car that communicate what actions you want the key to complete. If the contacts are worn out and the button is not working, it may not work at all or it might send different messages than what you intended.
A possible quick fix for this problem is to utilize a physical key to unlock your car's doors or start the engine. You can reset the fob by following instructions in the owner's manual for your car (check online for specific instructions).

Transponder Chips
The transponder chip that is in your car keys is a very crucial component of the keys. They send out a signal with a unique frequency when the key is inserted in the ignition. The car's electronic device recognizes the code and can tell it's you. The engine won't begin to run when the device inside the car doesn’t recognise the signal. This is a security measure designed to stop thieves from hot wiring their cars and stealing them.
The chip doesn't have batteries, so it doesn't require charging or replaced. It does however need to be programmed to the car by an individual who has access to the car's ECU and that's why it's important to bring your keys to locksmith.
Transponder chips come in various varieties that are widely used, but the most commonly used are Rolling Code and Crypto. The key blanks are made from plastic with slots for the glass ampoule or transponder. It is then slid in a carrier or sleeve on the side (or bow) of the key. The photo below is of one of these sleeve holders from the back of a Ford key here. By using a PVC pipe cutter, or another method, you can remove the sleeve from a damaged Ford key.
A regular transponder can be more expensive due to the chip an electronic or smart key, but is less expensive than a fob. The cost of these keys will depend on the vehicle's make and model.
