Broken Keys
It's not uncommon for keys to break after a few years. If your key is damaged in the lock, you'll need to get a new one. However, if the rest the key is in good shape you may be able to repair it.
A paperclip works well to grasp the broken piece from both sides and leverage it out. If the broken piece isn't stuck too far inside the lock, you can use pliers. If the key is broken very close to the lock, you may require a "key extraction" tool with an iron bar that has barbs that resemble a screw. The bar is placed into the locking mechanism and then rotated to dig the barb into it. This will release the key.

The key cap is made of plastic or metal posts that are inserted into the slots on the switch.

When you press the button on your fob, the contacts inside send codes to the receiver in your car that communicate what actions you want the key to perform.
