I need some help. This will either be simple to resolve or difficult. I have attached two (2) photographs of two (2) keys and each key fob for my 1995 Porsche.
1.Both keys appear to be missing the Porsche crest in the key. If you look carefully, there are indentations on both keys. Does anyone know if and where the crests can be purchased?
2. Both keys have a little light that used to operate when depressing the button. I think the intended purpose was to illuminate the keyed cylinder lock on each door handle as well as the ignition switch. Both lights no longer operate.
Does any member know how to return the lights on the key fobs?
Both key fobs work perfectly. They lock and unlock the doors and will immobilize the ignition.
Please see the attached photographs.

Thank you.



Inoperative light on each key.

Easy for both problems

The crest is part# 944-538-443-00. You can get it on pelican parts for $11.25 each. So with a little super glue is an easy fix.

Here is a link to the discussion on light. If you look at the side of the key you'll see an indentation. Use a small screw driver to pop the cover off the area with light and battery. pop it off and change the battery be careful of the copper strips inside. Here is a link that is worth reading through.

GregR,
Thank you for responding!! Your information is very helpful.
It looks like the first item will be a breeze to correct.
The second, repairing the key light, looks like you need more care, a steady hand and patience (I lack the last two traits). I will try.
I appreciate your prompt response and your help. It's incredible the details that go into something that appears so simple and more importantly the knowledge atone can gain on this site.
Thanks again!!

For what it’s worth, I think it is easier just to buy new heads. I got my light working but then it stopped again and I was like whatever I don’t need it. The new heads have a better light system apparently. And the crest that is sold is pewter not red and gold whereas with the new head they are red and gold. $32.50 from pelican for the key head.

Yep, just buy the keyhead, LED is brighter too.

I replaced both of my key heads, and I lack skill and patience. The new led lights are very bright. I found a video online that walked me through the replacement. Very glad I did it.

You found a video online?

Make sure to be careful when changing the heads, the little spring popped out on me and onto the floor, fortunately we have tile floors, but it still took me 30 minutes to find it! other than that, it is a straightforward process.

I may have found step-by-step pictures. But, whatever I found walked me through the process without causing any damage.
