If the spring return mechanism in the car's key fob breaks, follow these steps to replace it: take the key fob and open it by prying with a screwdriver in the middle. Locate the small threaded metal pin that acts as the spring return for the key and replace it with a new one. Be careful with the positioning as it needs to be inserted into its seat with pressure, and once in, it should be rotated about half a turn to secure it. At this point, close the key fob casing by applying some pressure.
