Two Saturns, one key
When I bought my 97 SL1, it came with two keys. The ignition switch had
been replaced and the idiots who did it did not bother to have the switch coded to the car. Today, while doing some other work to the car which involved having one of the door skins off, I decided to pull both door lock cylinders, the trunk cylinder and the ignition and get them coded to the key to my 95 SW1. Now one key works both cars. Locksmith charged $40 to recode the cylinders. -David |

Two Saturns, one key
Back in the good old days I had a similar setup. My friends Dodge truck key
would open the door on my Volare and I didn't need a key to turn the ignition so if I locked myself out I could just get him to unlock my door and away I went. My anti-theft device was a kill switch under the dash and a push button to replace the solenoid.

That costs extra money you know. Maybe they didn't have as much money as you seem to have. There are also disadvantages to having the same key for the door and the ignition. A clever guy might have thought of that. >> Today, while doing some other work to the car which involved having one of >> the door skins off, I decided to pull both door lock cylinders, the trunk >> cylinder and the ignition and get them coded to the key to my 95 SW1.

Little Tommy,
You shouldn't speak about your father that way... He keyed the car to match out of love, and we know you filled the airbags with beans be comfortable playing video games. When the trailers a rocking, your picking your nose real hard - troll!

The dustman who has been classed as a lesser mortal than a ****ing locksmith. **** me! At least dustmen do something useful on a regular basis and don't expect to be paid large sums of money for ****ing things up. -- Lunch was nice; Dishonoured mudskipper intestine with bladder seasoning under dirty carp abscess and jackal liver topping garnished with half-raw hippopotamus gizzard next to blemished cadaver foreskins and opossum penis topping, simmered in a splashing bucket overflowing with big medley of stomach in festering gore, a side of fruit and a pint of pond scum. |
