You will need the radio code. The dealer will have to provide this information unless it is written in your owners manual.

SOURCE: After putting key in the ignition of my 2003 buick

most likely your battery or, cables: when all your power went it probably was because your battery cables are loose or corroded this is also why in some cars the key is retained also check to see if your car is in "park" first

Ignition key will not turn ignition switch and wheel will not lock when key is removed

This is common in older cars when the key and lock barrel become worn. It can be fixed with a replacement lock barrel, and an auto locksmith can re key it for you if you have an original key which is not too worn down.

I have a 1998 Buick Regal GS that the ignition does not go back to off setting . It starts and runs just fine but will not turn off completely. Whta could it be?

Can you get the key out? if so then it is a bad ignition switch. If the key won't remove then the nuetral safety switch from the transmission is not sending a signal to the switch to relase the key and it wont turn off till the selenoid in the column relases the pin that is holding it back. That could be the issue, but I would recommend that you lubricate any moving parts that you see, and shoot some in the ignition switch as well. Use only a graphite lubricant. Worst case scenario, you have to get a new switch.

I recently bought a 1998 buick regal from a private owner that never came back with the door keys. so how can i get the keys to this door?

you can take it to a locksmith and they can cold cut one, at least that way you'll have the same key for the ignition and the doors, (if they were that way to begin with ) other than that , your only choice is to replace the door cylinders

I lost my keys to my 1998 buick regal and don't have an extra. I got into my car, but I need to move it. How do I go about doing this?

You'll probably need to call a locksmith or a local shop and have the lock cylinder replaced to get a key. Some locksmiths will come to your car, saving you the money of having it towed to a shop.

My '98 Buick Regal won't start randomly but fires right up when it does. randomly when you turn the key to start it does absolutely nothing. No warning lights or clicks - absolutely nothing. All the...

It dosent need a new steering column. But It very well may need an ingnition position sensor. It is a sensor that identifies what position the key is in. Obviously if it was malfunctioning it would not recognize you have the key in the start position, and when it does it suddenly fires. I had a 95 Regal that had the same problem, not a cheap one but pretty necessary.
