Renault Car Key Repair - Broken Button [Modus, Clio, Kangoo]

A walk through of a repair for the broken button and microswitch on my Renault Modus 3 button key. Using a replacement shell and microswitch kit sourced from ebay. It didn't go quite as planned but we got back to a functioining key in the end and learnt a few lessons!

Cheers mate got the same problem with a modus.the flip key went first ,after e bay purchase and fiddly headache didn't work out now the spare 3 button fobs rubbers split so better luck this time l hope.🤞

[@bigskies2202]

good luck. The modus has been pretty good little car for us all told, but fiddly headache sums up a few of the repairs have had to make!

Yeah i had same problem bought a few renault shell's witch didnt fit took it to my local key cutting shop £15 to sort should have gone their first go sorted 👍

How did you get the print on the holders in the key? i cant get it on them😅

[@bigskies2202]

Hi @cimbria1234. All should just clip together. There are some slightly different buttons so need to make sure get the right ones!!

The blade didn't fit to the hole. I am checking China now, they offer specifications of the shell considering the blade. VA2, Vac 102, Ne 73. Did you mind that whilst ordering? I have clio 3 2007 so I think va2 is mine.

I lost my key fob for kangoo 07 van. How can I get new fob? Does the tracking app work? Thanks for your video. You explain very well.

[@bigskies2202]

Hello, I think in cases of loss of the fob it is probably a dealer or independent specialist required. Not sure you would be able to fix that yourself. Good luck.

Can I open my Twingo key switch and clean it and put it back? The button requires a lot of force to operate , must of the times it don't work at all.

[@bigskies2202]

Certainly worth taking apart and having a look. If it's the same sort of key it's pretty straightforward. And certainly cheaper than a new key.

@@bigskies2202 This is a 1995 car, there is no key replacement, I must fix it.
