DiscoHere Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 My 2003 ignition is stuck in place and will not move. Seems something broke inside as little metal shavings came out on the key. What is involved in replacing it? Presumably i will need a new key as well as just the barrel? Are there likely to be any issues with electronics on the key talking to the car?

All information and suggestions welcome Not that difficult you will have to remove two security bolts by tapping a chisel to undo so you will need bolt replacements, sometimes the existing barrel can be repaired ( vehicle locksmith) which is better than having two keys instead of one, So if you change the barrel then you need, a blade cut to fit fob, the rest of the fob can be reused and still function as normal after being fitted with the replacement blade.
