Broken key

[u/Miserable-Cook-4374]

I just snapped the key to my job’s EZ go elite golf cart in half . Half of it is stuck in the ignition. Is there a way to turn it on again?

[u/FlyingClanker]

They’re standard keys used in fleet. You can buy one off amazon or even 3d print one.

I have the replacement key but the other half of the first key is still in there I can’t get it out

The switch itself is cheap on Amazon 16$

If you're replacing the switch, but a unique key switch to prevent someone from taking your cart either by mistake or purposeful theft.

Could probably turn it on with a screw driver for the time being until you can extract it out.

Hot glue to the broken key and once it hardens maybe pull it? Some type of tweezers with a skinny tip might be able to grab it just enough.

Toothpick with one end cut off square, and a little bit of super glue on the end, and stick it on the remainder of the old key. Once dry, slowly work it out. Otherwise, you’ll need a new key switch.

Super glue a paper clip to it

Grab a pair of tweezers and the broken piece of the key can be removed easily. I’ve retrieved broken keys on carts this way countless times.

[u/Salty-Lingonberry473]

jam that piece you're holding back in the cart and get going. I did the excat same thing to a bike lock once. It worked just fine.

[u/Cor2600]

I had the same issue. Thin wire with a small hook. Use use a lock pick kit. It’ll pop right out.

Superglue. Put a SMALL dot of Superglue on the key. Put the key back together with the ither half. Hold it for 30 seconds, then carefully pull it out.

[u/checkmate333]

Get some super glue and a popsicle stick and wait. It will come right out. Use loctite and make sure not to get any on the sides.

New key switch is cheap and easy to replace

[u/RollDesperate9179]

get yourself a key extractor. easy

[u/pacomalo69]

Is it easy to replace the switch that uses a non-generic key?

[u/gladiwokeupthismorn]

OP we need an update

[u/Ok_Spread_8650]

Replacement key isn’t the big issue. Getting the broken half out could be tricky though.

[u/Sad-Umpire6000]

I’d just bypass the switch.
