Bigbird Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Alright guys here's the deal. On my 21st birthday I lost the keys to my car...stupid thing was that I was actually sober when I lost them. I jumped through a couple hoops and got a spare set made at Jack Maxton. Only to get home and have them not work. I thought maybe the keys were just too crisp and new for it being a 10 year old car, so I tried to kind of file down the door key in certain spots. That didn't work. So I'm thinking my only other option is to install a new ignition cylinder. I'm supposed to go to Cleveland this weekend to visit my dad to celebrate my birthday. I don't know if this is the sort of thing that any old Joe can do or not, or if it can be done outside of a shop. I would certainly pay anyone that could help me. Let me know what you guys got.

Bigbird Posted January 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Thanks man, I did. If it is at all possible to do this at my house that would be great. I can possibly try and get a car to come pick someone up so they wouldn't have to drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autox41 Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Is your problem that the key won't turn or the car is in anti theft mode and just won't start? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordell Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 Is your problem that the key won't turn or the car is in anti theft mode and just won't start? +1, if the security is shutting it down, they may have used the wrong resistance key. If the key won't turn, obviously they cut it wrong. Either way I'd be taking that shit back and bitching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMeanGreen Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 Profile says '99 SS, so I'm guessing the VATS isn't allowing it to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigbird Posted January 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Thanks Stimmel lol. Sorry after PM'ing AJ I forgot about this thread. Yeah it's a 99 SS, stupid flipping VATS. Locksmith said they couldn't do anything for me because of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2 Sweet Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Go back to Maxton, tell them the keys didn't work, and tell them to make a set that will? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1647545494 Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 you could always have a locksmith make you a key and then have the vats turned off in your tune Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrousbird Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 VATS is a good thing, don't have it turned off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
