accord keys
I have two keys to my 99 Accord 4 cyl EX.
Only one key, however, will start the car. The other key will unlock the car but the car will not start-the 'key light' on the dash blinks. I could not find in the owners manual how to activate this key for starting the car. Is this a dealer procedure for activating the key?? |

some keys do not have the chip inside so all the key can do is open the door other keys have the chip + the key must be programed for you step 1 does your key have the chip inside? |

I assume that the keys look the same. The car came with 2 black keys and a
grey key, which is the valet key. All of these will start the car. If it is not starting, it was either copied at the dealer and not programmed or heck, not sure if you can even get the correct Honda key copied other places. This problem may require a trip to the Honda dealer. "stevie" > wrote in message ... > how do you tell if chip is inside??

i checked and the keys look exactly alike. dealer wants about $100 to
program the non-starting key. dealer said magnet could have destroyed the key, if it ever worked to start the car. i don't think it ever worked. it is a honda key.

The thinner one has no chip in it, so I tagged it 'DOORS ONLY' because the Immobilizer icon on the dash will flash if I try to use it. Some dealers charge a half-hour (or more) to reprogram / cut new keys for you. They need your car and all the keys you own. they said it's the same cost if you want one key or five done. I'm going to buy a couple more 'chipped' blanks and get some fresh keys made. The old ones are wearing thin anyhow because the former owner never had the sense to lube his ignition lock.
