Car Key Fob Won't open

Brian2011

2012 Opel Corsa, Child was messing with key fob in car, was turning the key half way a few times and pressed lock/unlock on key fob. Must have reprogrammed something.

It's one of those fobs where the key folds in and out of the fob by pushing a button. Now the Key is actually stuck inside the fob and won't open, Please help!!

Using the car with spare key but need other key fixed as not our car.

It might just be jammed, try prying it out gently at the tip with a nail file or similar.
Try opening the whole case and reseating the battery if it's not operating....

The lock/ unlock buttons still work, the button for unfolding /folding the key is totally jammed, although the unlock button turns the warning light on only and the lock button still locks the car.

Try giving the fob a few gentle taps off a hard surface.

These keys are easy enought to take apart and fit back together. Take it apart and see what the craic is with the flip out mechanism which is more thank likley just one spring - Not exactly rocket science!

That's just a latch and a spring....
