Default Re: Duplicate Keys...

....and therein lies a potential problem. When buying the 'alleged' NOS blanks off eBay or wherever (buyer beware) and then taking them to your local hardware store, cutting &quot;new&quot; keys off worn existing ones, you may or may not get the new ones to work. BTDT.

It's more work, but I pulled a door lock cylinder out of the door and got the code for that (for doors and ignition key). Then I pulled the trunk lock cylinder out and got the code off of that (for trunk and glove box). Sent the codes to Jesser's and got keys that work flawlessly.
