hello
bought 94wagon.
came with one key. works perfect on passenger lock and hatch lock.
drivers lock is impossible and ignition switch is next to impossible. I'm assuming car was broken into at some point and drivers lock and ignition lock were changed.

question is, how in the hell am I going to figure out what the key #'s for the drivers door and ignition switch are?

thanks

 

ok, I'm an idiot


the drivers door lock works fine now. I just jiggled it and voila. probably never got used since day one.
is wd40 ok to spray in there.

ignition lock is still stiff, can I spray some wd40 there too?

thanks

 

i noticed on my accord, many people have problems with the key and ignition. i have no problems because i know where the sweet spot is. put it in, pull it back out just a tad and it works. prolly works for my car only though

 

holy crap. I did EXACTLY what you describe and it works.

what's the actual fix though, worn key or worn tumblers.

thanks.

 

no clue. glad it helped lol

 

at honda they pulled the key code from the VIN, and cut a new key with a computerized key cutter, without using the old worn key as a template. very impressive, I had never seen anything like this.

anyways, it works perfectly now.

thanks.

 

THe pull out a bit rule works with my car too, if you don't it wont start at all

 

Hi, how much did they charge you? I need a spare key

 

doesnt this only work if you have the original ignition and door lock though, if u changed it before then the VIN code wont match the #'s on the new ignition and locks.
