MY IGNITION LOCKED UP?

Do me a favor, look on your key, towards the rubber front of the key is there a little circle on the actual key that is small and made of rubber? If so then you have pass key, which means buy a new lock cylinder from the dealer, and get a key made from the dealer.

If your ignition key has the small rubber pellet with metal in the center, it is possible to buy the ignition lock cylinder from your local parts store, however the key that will come packaged with the cylinder has to be taken to a local locksmith with your original key, so they can make a key that will work for you. This will be much cheaper than going to the dealer. The key that comes with the lock cylinder will allow you to unlock the ignition, but you won't be able to start the car. The 'little pellet' in the original key is read by the car's computer to deactivate the security system and allow the car to start.
