Thank you sir. I just bought a used GM car and most of the buttons on the key fob didn’t work. I’m so glad I watched your video. I cleaned all the contacts on the board and the buttons and they we’re so filthy. After about 8 Q-tips, I was able to clean them sufficiently. Now for the test. It worked perfectly and I was so happy. I’m sure this video has helped a multitude of people and saved them a lot of money.

@@mikeosborn3906 you've almost certainly found the answer by now. :-) But just in case anyone else is wondering, it's isopropyl alcohol. The 99% is the amount of alcohol. My husband tells me that there are different percentages in the stuff. Inspired by this splendid video, I was all set to have a go immediately with some that I had, but he pointed out that mine was only 70% and it would take longer for the fob to dry. Curses! Still, at least it prompted him to start to sort out my two-week-old key fob problem himself!

Today I stumbled onto your video and excitedly rushed downstairs to grab the broken fob to have a go at cleaning it.

Wow, double whammy for me. Thank you..I have the exact controller for the ac unit and issue on GM lock button. !! THANK YOU SIR.

Thank you! I left my key with my car at my mechanics shop & kept the fob at my house. When I got my car back, the fob wasn't working. I took a penny :D & just raised one half of the fob a little & snapped it back in place. Voila! Works like a charm. Thank you so much!!!

Worked great! Thanks! Fixed two 2010 Chrysler T&C Fobs. Some of the silver discs were out of place, so a little drop of rubber cement on the rubber case side held them in place. Saved me $180 per fob!!!

I was just about to buy a new key fob for my 2003 Subaru as both of mine had stopped working. Oddly enough the Subaru has similar contacts to the Ford you had posted, but I cleaned the terminals and the rubber lining anyway. I did a search for key fob repair, found this, and now BOTH of my key fobs are back and operational. Saved me about $50 or more. Thanks!

Hi Mike ;) I used to work on electronic keyboards / keypads and you are spot on with your cleaning. If someone were to find extreme oxidation on the touch pad(s) they could use a rubber erasure to clean the circuitry followed up with the 99% and "Q-tip" to remove any residue. One other thing I would suggest to do while it is apart - clean the openings on the plastic cover where the buttons protrude. Sometimes they get "sticky stuff" in them and we all know what that can do to a key fob. Usually it takes a bit of "hot water" to remove sugar laden sediment. I've washed (with hot, soapy water) many keyboards and keypads in the past without any hesitation. Thanks for the great share! Oh and in the office machine repair business we used to call those pliers "duckbills!"

I've never had to clean the pads (but that's a good idea for next time). I have only had a broken solder joint (which is easily re-soldered) on the battery terminals. This is the case in 6 different fobs, including car and garage door openers. It seems pushing hard on the button may break the solder joint.

Thanks for this fix! I wanted to point out that in a 2001 Jeep, there's a plastic layer that needs to be slid off and cleaned. It sticks to the PCB and relays the pushing action through to the PCB from the rubber button. The carbon coated section makes a contact within the PCB closing a circuit for that button, that is the button press. Mine was gunky from probably 20 years of trapped skin cells and oils so I gave it a full cleaning. Works great now!

Good stuff Mike. I hate the way these key fobs open (having to take a coin and split them in two). The best design I've ever seen is by Honda. To change the battery all you need to do is twist the coin sized disc off the back. Under is the battery. Keep up the great work Mike! ~Tom

Thank you for the helpful video. I was having trouble with my Toyota Fob, which has an enclosed type button connectors so the alcohol was not what fixed it. But your video did make me think about the copper leads that connect to the battery. So I cleaned the leads to the battery, and probably more importantly, bent the little copper pieces, both on the flat side and the side, to make sure they made good contact with the battery. Now my remote works perfectly.

Boy I used to work for AT&T, bench repair, and the cordless phone handsets had a lot of this trouble.

I am a 69 year old, half blind lady with a 2006 Toyota Camry. When my key fobs stopped working several years ago, I figured out how to change the batteries, but that wasn’t my problem. I was so disappointed and saw no other videos at the time that advised to do anything other than change the batteries…and I couldn’t afford a trip to the dealership. I watched your video and followed your instructions. The first fob I cleaned didn’t work and I figured the batteries I’d bought several years back were probably dead, so stopped and ordered new ones off Amazon. I figured I’d go ahead and clean the other fob while I had my little screw driver, q-tips, and alcohol out. And walla! It worked beautifully. Tried the first one I’d cleaned and then it worked! Apparently there is a leading fob that must be working for them both to work. I did think it strange when they both stopped working at the same time. Now I know. I have missed my clickers so much! I don’t know you personally but I absolutely LOVE ❤️ You!

Excellent. Haven't yet seen this problem addressed as you have. Problem occurs with most any silicone rubber touchpad device including TV remotes. The issue however, is not as much "dirt" as it is the release of silicone oil from the rubber touch pads which forms a gooey/oily substance preventing proper conductivity between the silicone rubber touch pad keys and the circuit board pad. I've cleaning numerous remotes that were literally coated in goo. Current speculation is that the repeated pressing of the keys is what squeezes out the oil of improperly cured silicone over time. 99% acts as a degreaser to remove the excess oil, allowing the electrical contact to be properly made between the rubber pad and the circuit board.
