Jeep 4 button replacement key shell kit only - large button version

This type of large button Jeep key not very common and can also be used with some Chrysler & Dodge models. Suitable for the 4 button Jeep keys with PANIC button.

This is the large button type key shell.

There is another 4 button Jeep key with smaller buttons that are also a slightly different shape, please take a careful look at the images to make sure this pad matches what you have in your key now.

You don't have to replace your entire key just because the shell is damaged or the key blade has broken away from the plastic head.

Here we offer you a top quality replacement key shell for your old broken key. Having a key bound in tape is never a good look and can be a real frustration.

The kit includes the front and back sections of the key shell and the rubber button pad ONLY, as shown in the images.

This styly shell is quite different internally to the small button version. The Battery on this sty;le key is attached to the remote PCB and has mechanical micro-switches on the front of the PCB instead of the plastic contact sheet used in the small button version.

Swapping over your remote into the new shell is pretty easy to do yourself or come into our shop and we will swap them over for you, cut the key blade and test the battery for you.

Please note we do charge a fee of $40 for this service and this is only offered at our workshop in East Victoria Park, WA 6101.

If you do not live close by you can swap over the remote yourself and have the key blade cut at your local locksmith or key cutting kiosk.

To swap over the remote first you will need to open the shell, which can be done using a flat blade screw driver. Place this in the slot in the side of the case near the key blade end and gently twist to open the case. Next remove the rubber button pad from your old remote key and insert it in the new one.

Next place the new plastic layer with black spots on it in the rubber button pad. These black spots are contact pads and these act as buttons to make your remote work. The domed side faces the rubber button pad. 

Now check that the circuit board is clean and does not have black marks where the button contacts come down. If it does then you will need to clean the circuit board. To clean the board use only PCB cleaner and make sure no battery is connected to the board if you are going to clean it with PCB cleaner. Allow at least 20 minutes for PCB cleaner to evaporate before reattaching the battery.

Once this is done you can place the PCB in the shell and place the battery contact and battery in the back cover. If you have a multi-meter you should check that the battery still shows 3 volts, otherwise replace it.

Now you can close up the shell and take it to have the key blade duplicated.
