- Fix your Key Fob and save $$$$. (You Won't Need a Key Fob Programed using this method).I didn't want to take my car to have a new key fob programed. My "Chrysler Town and Country" Minivan only came with one Key Fob. So I decided to fix mine. Sure enough it was the buttons inside the key pad. there was glue all over the circuit board too. (the buttons are glued on) I cleaned it off with some alcohol on a lint free cloth. If there's glue on your original circuit board just clean it off and put it in the New Key Fob and keypad!!!! I used my same Battery and back, I Only used the Front of the New Key Fob. it was easy and it works great. I got mine on Amazon 2@$15.65! So if this one ever breaks I got a spare! Make sure it's the Key Fob for your specific vehicle! Chrysler - Town and Country and Dodge Caravan Minivans. Should work for any key fob. thanks for watching!

I'm a single mom, thank you for this video! The dealership quoted me 500 Dollars for a new key fob. I took it apart and cleaned it. It worked a few times and stopped working again. So I'm gonna order a new one on Amazon!
Awe your so welcome good luck.
Thank you, worked like a champ for both my keys for $10 from Amazon and super easy!
Yep🙂 you can save a lot of cash too. Thank you for your comment 🙂
ingenious never thought of that before. i just bought a van with one of those key fobs. its a 2011, its all dirty and old.
Easy to replace.
This worked for my Dodge Grand Caravan 2011. Thank you so much. You are a money saver!
I try hard to save people$. It helps a great deal sometimes 🙂
Great video! Thanks so much! Got mine fixed too!
Thank you! I love to help and try save people some cash!
It works perfectly! Thanks, it never occurred to me to do that.
Your welcome thanks for watching I'm always happy to help. Saving cash matters nowadays.
Great video! Thank you so much!
You are so welcome 🙂. Thank you for watching 🙂
And thank you very much for this video I'm gonna try it I hope it works
Mine worked great then I had an extra one🙂
Thanks very much, I'm going to do it.
It's not hard to do. If it's just the buttons. The glue gets old. In the hot summer is when mine broke.
Brilliant, thanks!
Thank you! 🙂
Good video thank you
Thank you for watching 🙂
Thank you
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
Thank you! My keyfob was doing the same thing! I was super happy to get it fixed for so cheap! 👍👍👍👍
So happy you got it fixed. They can be expensive to reprogram and you Don't Need to reprogram them if you use the circuit board that came in your original keyfob. So much cheaper. I think most of the time it's the buttons. The glue gets hot and they slid off to where another button is. Mine would lock and unlock the doors. Thanks for your comment and watching!

Problem with my new fobs was that the buttons were taped to the new board, not to the rubber part of the fob. I just pealed the tape off the new board and carefully taped it to the rubber part of the new fob. . I'm guessing using the tape like they did, it keeps the buttons from falling off inside. I put it together and it works. Thank You.
A lot of people has said theirs were on the board. If it works it works. Mine were on the rubber and the glue had melted off. The buttons were all over instead of where they should have been. Happy you got it fixed🙂. You can save some cash. When mine happened everyone wanted me to make an appointment and have mine reprogrammed. No just needed the buttons in the right spot 😂😂😂
I just watched your video can you please tell me why you did not change the battery from the new fob to your older fob
Just used the original battery that's all.
@@Olly.sunshine fyi, they now are 17.99 on anazon. So you don't think I should change the battery?
Sure you can. make sure it's the same size battery. Do you think you are having a battery problem? My keyfob the glue melted and the button's we're no longer where they should have been. My old battery was still good so I just used it. But Make sure you use the same circuit board it's programmed for your car only. I only used the new buttons off the new one and the new case.
No not a battery problem, the casing is cracking apart and a couple buttons don't work.
Let me know how it goes 🙂
I'm having the same problem. I ordered 1but the buttons were attached to the circuit board. Can you share the seller or brand?
There should be little silver round tab looking things inside the rubber part. That's the only part I needed out of the new key fobs I bought. Take the new one apart. The top has the rubber piece (with the silver round buttons I'm it) just push it out of the case. Put it in your old keyfob. Put your circuit board inside the rubber with the tabs. Watch the video again to see what I mean.
@@Olly.sunshine Thank you for the quick reply. I know the part you're referring to, except the fob I just returned didn't have them attacked to the rubber. I would like to order the correct one, so as not to need to keep returning and ordering. Thanks again!
Are you replacing the same one I have? Or is it a different keyfob? What vehicle are you fixing it for? Did you take out the new circuit board? That board will not work on your vehicle throw it away. Take it out of the rubber housing. The buttons are behind that circuit board. Take new one out put your vehicle's circuit board in the new rubber piece. I show how in the video watch it starting at minute 1:43 in the video it shows how to remove circuit board.
@@Olly.sunshine Yes, the same device. 2013 Town & Country. Yes, same problem, the little buttons fell off of the rubber. I even tried different types of glue w/o success. Yes, I removed the PWB from the new device and the contact points were mounted on the PWB. I'll order another from a different vendor. I have working knowledge of circuit boards and electronics. Thanks.
Ok you'll get it fixed then. Must have sent the wrong one.
I accidentally removed the emergency key lock mechanism and it flew apart and now I can't figure out how to put it back in.
Are you talking about the actual key that slides in the fob?
@@Olly.sunshine yes, yes, the mechanism that keeps the key locked in there came out
Did you get a new key fob case? I suggest get the new plastic case from Amazon like I did. Just make sure you use the circuit board from the old key fob.
@@Olly.sunshine that’s what I done however, the mechanism that holds the spare key in came out of the old fob and I don’t know how to put it back in. The new fob didn’t come with the spring mechanism.
@@brianmorrison9937 the key just slides in. You have to push a little tab over when removing it. It should just slide back into place. Not sure what's actually going on with yours. Maybe you can find a video on that.
