Angry Re: hello

Ok, so maybe I am stupid or something. I don't see where you can post a notice without replying to someone else's post. I am new as you probably can tell. So I need lots of help!
The deal is I have a chevy lumina 1996 that uses a chip key. I can't find anyone who makes new keys for this car. Is there anyway to take the stupid chip out of the equation and let me use a regular car key??? HELP

Re: hello

Many quality locksmiths make the keys as well as any GM dealer. Look at the l/s top of the forum main page for thread starter.

Re: hello

You can check the resistance of the chip in the key with a DVOM, then buy a chipped blank of that value, and just have it cut...the expense is having them read it and match it.

You can also solder a resistor of the proper value into the wiring harness, bypassing the key's chip.
