I have a 3-button key where the lock button is missing. I know there are a bunch of people who change their key housings for various reasons. Is there anyone here that has a key housing, they have changed out, and want to sell me their scrap parts?

Ebay best bet. Chinese ones as good as dealers for 5% of cost. They are both very fragile. Never drop them!

+1 for the eBay Chinese.... I have ordered twice. The buttons are crap on our keys (and the Chinese ones too). So the last time one broke, I actually repaired it by clipping off the corner of a razor blade, heating it up, and pushing it into the plastic to make a new hinge (had to file off the old nub first). Yes, it came to that.

Peace

Suncoast will sell you just that part for 60 bucks!

Same here except I used a piece of a scalpel blade and some self-cure dental resin to bond it in. Later one of the little hinge tabs broke, fortunately I found it inside, and bonded it back with the same resin (it's red) and reinforced the contralateral one as well. It galls me to see how cheaplly these fobs are designed considering what they charge for them OEM.
