I know this video is 6 years old and you'll probably never see this, but I needed to take a second and say THANK YOU. Was quoted an ungodly price for a replacement and didnt feel like buying some off brand hunk of junk for my Ram. Took it apart, cleaned the gunk off the motherboard, put the pads centered back on the buttons and it works good as new.
Wholeheartedly thank you sir!
You are the MASTER !!!!!!! I did exactly what you said in the video, and my key fob now works! Before I did what you said in the video, my key fob would not unlock my car doors. So I took it apart and cleaned it and put the little pads back in place, put the key fob back together, and it freaking works!!! I am so freaking happy right now thank you so so so very much! You just save me about $300. Seriously the places I was calling were telling me $180 for the key fob, $50 if I wanted the hidden key that comes inside, and another 75 to program it! What a crock of shit lol. I am so grateful you did this video! Thank you again!
God bless you my brother!!! I almost spent close to $400 for ONE new fob that didn’t even include a new key insert from a dealership AN HOUR drive away. I replaced the battery and all but no luck. Just when I was about to purchase a programmer and replacement for diy solution ($200) I saw this video. You’re heaven sent my guy. I’m subscribing just for this video. Thanks man 🥺👏🏾
Thank you, Brian! Brilliant video. I am a 64-year-old woman and I fixed my key fob all by myself thanks to your video. You saved me lots of money!
This tutorial was so helpful to me! Both of my dogs were malfunctioning. One was because one of the circles had moved and when I would just grab my keys, it would open up my door. The other fob wouldn't work when I would press the button. Thanks to your tutorial, I was able to figure out the problem, clean up the circuit board, glue down the circle, put it back together and get it back to working again. Now that I repaired both fobs, it has been over a week, and they both work great without any trouble. Thanks so much once again! Great tutorial!
Wow, thank you. You just saved me 100 bucks!! I was just about to order a new fob online when I decided to CZcams it. What a quick fix! I have two from 2013 and they have lost function little by little....first the trunk feature, then the lock , now the remote start has quit. I appreciate it!
Very straight forward video that resolves issue. I have a 2015 dodge dart. When you remove the key there isn't a screw like in the video. You just have to pull it apart in this case and the rest of the steps are the same.
Mine has a black tiny button were the screw is on his. I saw on another video he made about how to change the battery on a dodge Caravan video how he used the ed of the key he took out to expose that area to push into that spot then Jimmy the back open by wiggling the key once he's pushed it in as far as he can. Should be able to easily search for the how to change the battery on the dodge Caravan video to see foryourself.
Thanks man I have a car rental company and your videos have help me a lot, Im really happy for people like you can help out!
Brian, thank you so much for taking the time to record and post this key fob fix, it really helped me out with my beeping key fob,
Just ran across your vid on fixing the fob. My "Unlock" button quit working so, I took it apart, cleaned as you instructed, put in new battery and works like a charm now. Thank You!!!
OMG,.. OMG,.. OMG… thank you so much!!!!! I can’t believe this was the solution to my problem. I have been dealing with this for a couple of years and just gave up. I thought I’d have to eventually go to the dealership. I followed your simple instructions, cleaned the contacts and readjusted the tiny metal contact points and went out and tested it & on the first try I heard my horn beep upon locking the doors!!!! I’m still in disbelief. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. It is very much appreciated. God bless.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Probably one of the best and to the point videos I have ever seen.
I just fixed my Key Fob and I thought I had a dummy remote start button. The disks were floating around inside. You made me a very happy person today. Doors lock and unlock and I started my truck from my kitchen!!!! Thanks for your video!!!!!!!!!! High five and knucks to you Brian!!
Man, I’m so glad I found this video. My truck would lock when my fob was in my pocket and my truck would beep 5 times in a row. I also have remote start and sometimes my truck would be running and I didn’t even know it. This did the trick and I cleaned both fobs today. Thank you so much!!
Thanks for this. Saved me from having to take my key somewhere to fix it or replacing it. Mine didn't have that small screw so I just had to pull it apart but everything else after that was the same. Thanks again.
Thank you so much!!! I was struggling for months trying to get my buttons to work. I was tempted to go to the shop and pay $50- $100 to replace it and you saved me ! Thank you!!!
Come fix my key fob.
Very clear instructions. I have suffered the locking and unlocking of my 2010 VW Routan for some time... Problem solved ..Thanks a lot
Tried it and sure enough did the trick. Awesome video. Thanks. Saved me from a headache and saved me some cash.
You're my hero! Woo. Took my ram to get serviced and key worked. Now it doesn't and they're saying it's not their fault. But mine looks worse than yours honestly. I'll try this first!
I've done this a few times but the pencil eraser is the step I was missing. Great video, straight to the point with no BS,,, Thanks!!!!! Since I had a spare, after the eraser I wiped it with a microfiber to see how delicate the circuitry was and had no problems. The only thing I would add is don't force the two sections together, be patient and wiggle them till the rubber gasket falls in place.
Can’t thank you enough for posting this video. My key has been driving me nuts for months.
Thank you. Man, I thought I was going to have to buy a new one from the dealership. Saved me some money
Thanks for the video. My jeep kept unlocking. Soon as i opened up the rubber two of the little plates we overlapping causing it to unlock every time i locked it. Saved me a trip to the auto electrician. Awesome work
Thanks Brian for this video!! I was experiencing Key Fob problems with my Dodge Durango, and after applying your cleaning techniques, all operations are working smoothly!! Saved me major time and $!! Thanks again!! You Rock!!
You saved me $120. Thank you so much!!! Also, I took alcohol swabs to my button and then did the eraser thing, too! And they’re pretty white, again!
Clutch! This helped me big time. Now all I have to do is clean my unlock button and I'm golden. Thanks man!
OMG! You just made my life a whole lot better and saved me some cash!💕
It worked like a charm!!
My father had this problem. I was being lazy and told him to just use his other FOB. So glad I noticed this, thanks Brian!
I never knew about using a soft eraser to clean the contacts. I always used rubbing alcohol or window cleaner when no alcohol could be found. Great tips Bri! Thanks!
Outstanding! Exactly what I needed. I appreciate your time.
Thanks Jerry. You're welcome!
This is a great video. Just did my own fob and it's back to working like new!
I watched a lot of videos and yours was the only one that worked and it was very simple. Thank you so much!
Yesss! Thank you! I fixed my son's key fob. The metal contacts were way off and the entire thing was filthy! I used alcohol prep pads. Now it works perfectly!

Thanks Brian---this was a great fix. I really was getting ready to buy another fob.
Thank you so much for your video it helped and made my day! Blessings!
Just did mine and it works perfectly now you are my hero!! Thanx!
Great vid! Thanks for this. Fixed my Jeep fob in a few mins. cheers mate
Bro!! Thank you! I was down to my last key fob and i was able to fix both this way and save me money! You legend!
Thanks. After watching, I was able to fix my fob. One of the metal doohickeys had come loose. Thanks, thanks, thanks.
i couldnt lock mice with key fob for quite awhile. i put new batteries in it, same thing. watched your video and took it apart and checked those contacts and one on each key fob had moved, put them back where they were and it works now. thank you so much for the video.
Ty so much bro! I been locking w the manual lock and unlocking w fob, thanks to you problem solved! Thanks again!
Thank you soooooo much, helped me out on my Dodge Ram. Definitely made my day
I just had to perform surgery on both my Subaru keyfobs yesterday. On both the switch for the lock button came loose from the pc board. Had to solder those tiny suckers back on! works again now.
The circuit board/eraser trick is a great new idea for me! I like just soap and water on the plastic & rubber stuff ( yes I use a drain screen in the sink incase those discs were to fall off). The adhesive recommendation is also very helpful. Thank you for sharing your experience!!!
Thanks for that. I experienced the key fob malfunction earlier this year. I always assumed that gunk was supposed to be there, like a glue or something. Anyways, just cleaned it and it works much better.
Marcus Young same here..lol
You saved the day brother not to mention a bunch of money appreciate it thanks
I don't even know how I managed to find this video, but thank you! I just changed the battery in my 2013 ram fob thinking that was the reason behind it locking/remote starting without me actually pressing the button, but it wasn't. It was at the point where I couldn't even keep my keys in my pocket because it would constantly lock my truck or remote start for no reason. This worked perfectly and I don't have that issue anymore.
thanks for the tip. I learned about the eraser from model railroading just like you.
interesting enough, i learned about the eraser from my time playing with radios in the Marines
Thanks bro. My contacts were out of place and after gluing them back. Works like a charm now.
Thanks Brian, this absolutely worked!!! I was so scared of getting robbed because my hatch would open up by barely touching the fob. But with your method, it stopped and my anxiety has went down tremendously!!! Thanks!!!
4 years later and this video has helped me.
I wanna THANK YOU!!!. I was having the same problem and contacted 3 ppl to get a new key.. but i said, let me go to old faithful CZcams and TRY to fix it myself first. Thank You, Thank you!!
God bless you! Worked like a charm for me as well so thankful!
Thanks for the tips, worked out well for me!!
Hey Brian use a Magic Eraser, the melamine abrasive is gentle but tough enough to clean it. At the tech department at my school where I work we use it to clean the keyboards. It really works! (By the end of the year the white pristine Apple keyboards look really yellow, the eraser makes me look brand new!)
I also like to use PlasX from Meguire's it will polish the paint without removing too much :)
Oh my man is a true life saver dude wow such a easy fix was wondering why all these problems was happening
Thank you!!!! I just bought a 2013 Dodge Dart and after just a couple weeks the unlock and trunk buttons weren’t working. I thought I’d have to get another fob. I opened it and the contacts were spread all over the inside. I used silicone glue to glue them back in place and the circuit board was sticky and gross. I used a dry microfiber cloth to clean it up. Thank you again!
Thanks, man! This was a life saver for me! My key fob had stopped working properly. I would have to push a button repetitively to finally get it to work. I had just changed the battery a couple of months prior and thought it might of been a weak replacement battery, so I changed it again to find the problem remained the same. I then tonight looked up this issue and came across your video. It took me a couple of minutes to clean the inside of my fob to make it work like new again!
Worked like a charm thank you!!
Thank God for your video! Thank you so much!! Fixed my problem!!!
🗣 BRIAN!! Thank you for this video. You saved me a lot of money my friend. The dealership wanted to charge a diagnostic fee; if they deemed it a bad key, it was gonna be $350 for the new fob and $200 to program it. This fix cost me nothing and my key fob works like new.
My key fobs both would not lock the doors but would unlock been that way for a while. Watched your video and pulled the fob apart well the little round contacts had come unglued --used super glue fobs are working great.
You freaking amazing, I watched three videos and u the only one helped me thank u 🙏
WOW, THAT WAS AWESOME, BROTHER ! THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU
This video saved me money, thank you 🙏🏽
Super helpful! Thank you!!!!
Thanks! You saved me a lot of money.
Worked perfectly.. Thank you sir.. I was going crazy!! Blessings
Nice. I have a 2019 Grand Caravan. I've had that problem, off and on. Now I know how to fix it. Liked the thing at the end, also. I have a daughter and son-in law who rock climb.
Thank you so much Brian it worked with my pencil. Great vídeo with great advice thanks bro!
You just saved me a ton of money,thank you
Clear explanation! Thank you :-)
Thank you! I just changed the battery in mine and it has been locking and unlocking constantly ever since setting of the horn over and over. It's been driving me nuts!

Thanks Brian you saved me some trouble
Love ur channel.
Brian to clean any plastic quickly and easily is to use D L hand cleaner blue can it will clean plastic,like magic removing all hand grease I would make old timinglights look like new. Use a foam rubber sponge when applying.
Thank You sir!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
THANK YOU!
Thank you!
Using a Q-tip and rubbing alcohol is a great way to clean and does a great job.
