Default Wierd day, broken key, and loud buzz...

Well today I think my servo probably has gone bad. This morning I was driving fine and heard nothing.
Parked the car for about 5 minutes, came back in and heard GRRRRRRRRR from near the pass. airbag.

I have read so many threads about this, so to confirm, I turned on the AC and put it at the coldest, BOTH sides were cold. Then I took off the AC and put it at its hottest. Both sides, again were blowing hot.
so it kind of made me

Everything is operating normally with the climate control systems.
I opened the glove box and took out the airfilter to listen...
But this is very annoying now. It makes the VERY loud buzz and then takes a 15 second break then goes back to work by annoying me.

anyhow the second half of my day was even more upsetting

The key/remote broke when trying to unlock the door. the chip completely separated from the actual key. I tried to put it back together to the best of my ability.
But the car would crank but not start.

All in all, I had to leave my car in the middle of manhattan and hop on a train back to brooklyn to get my spare. Then hop on a train back.

I know the chip allows the car to start and I actually had it working with the lock and unlock and trunk buttons, but again, it would NOT start.

Is there any tips on how I solve the problem with the key and chip?
Also, any tips or clues about what I think could possibly be the servo?

there is a transponder in the keyhead buttons. This must be close to the ignition in order for the car to start. If your key broke, maybe tape the broken button part near the ignition hole, and start the car. The car will think the key is all there.

Well when I opened up the key chip I actually noticed that the panic button/lock button werent there. I was always wondering why it doesnt work when I pressed it.

so that whole little module is missing. and I think it always was.
