Replacement key dont turn ignition at all its locked I have got two from dealer neither one works on ignition but will open doors

There are rumors that there are "hidden" features accessible by the dealer. If this is something you dont want, contact your local dealer and ask if that is something they can turn off.

try this first, make sure all doors are locked. Insert door key in drivers side door lock and turn key left for 3-5 seconds then turn to the right with a little pressure. open door. Insert key in ignition and turn to on ONLY! wait at least 30 seconds, then turn key to start allow to idle for a few minutes. If problem persists, the remote is not functioning properly. contact a locksmith for reprogramming or replacement. A lock shop will be cheaper than the dealer! Hope this helps you!

you dont have a lot of options , you could drill out the lock and get one from a junk car.

possible bcm you have a on board computer that tells you when doors are open lights are on also after turning key off you can listen to radio or open close windows for a limit of time then the bcm cuts off the power to everything if you are not sure check with dealer if they have problems with bcms body control module

did someone possibly switch your key with another one , or have any of the teeth on the key bent or broke off?

1/you should not be able to lock car when keys in ignition.stops you locking yourself out...
2/autolock can be reprogrammed by dealer.
3/batteries on remote may need replacing
4/have you reset central locking according to the book....?

dealer only

no.. u need to have a dealer do it.. they also have a tool ti check it the remote is transmitting a signal as well

To find out if the key is bad go to local lock smith and ask for a code key from the vin number they will tell you you need a chip that is correct but the key will open the door and turn on the ignition. if the new key works then your key is bad and the dealer can make you one for about 100.00 dollars if it still dont turn then the key cylinder is bad and it will need to be replaced good luck

Try this, it works on several 2002 models:


Step 1: Open drivers door and leave open.

Step 2: Lock and unlock the drivers door using the power door lock switch on the door.

Step 3: Insert key into the ignition.

Step 4: Turn key to on position and return to off position. (IMPORTANT - use ON position NOT ACC position). Do this 3 times within 10 seconds. Leave key in the ignition.

Step 5: Open and close the drivers door 3 times. (Door should be left open after this step).

Step 6: ECU should respond by locking and unlocking the doors.

Step 7: Press any button on remote #1. ECU responds by locking and unlocking the car doors.

Step 8: Press any button on remote #2 (etc.) Each time the ECU will respond by locking & unlocking the doors.

Step 9: Remove the key from the ignition and the ECU will respond a final time with a series of door locks and unlocks.
