Does anyone know what the "resistance value" or "ohm value" is for our ignition keys (95 Aurora in particular)???? I'm buying some spare VATS keys and need to know the value. Here's the instructions I got from an Ebay seller:
How to determine the Value of your key?
By chance you may know what vats key you now have. Most people do not. There are basically two ways to determine what vats key you have. Remember, there are 15 differrent posobilities. First, your key can be " read " in a vats tester. Most locksmith have these readers, and don稚 change anything to tell you. If you are in my area locally, I値l be happy to read your key for you. But I realize most people are not in my area. But there is a way for you to read the key value yorself. If you have a Volt Meter you can test the OHMS ( The Value ) of the chip yourself. Just set your Volt meter to check OHMS, Take each leed and place it on each side of the " chip " on your key. A number will appear. Take that number on your volt meter and apply it to the OHMS chart below. Keep in mind that it may not be exact. Just pick the closest value to your reading. I do realize that some of you don稚 even know what a Volt Meter is, not to mention having one. So there is a great alternative for you. Just take your key to a Radio Shack, or your local Auto Mechanic. Ask them to do as I described above. The vin number will not help.
Here's the chart:
