96 burb.....when i bought it, the guy had only one key, and it was an old worn down copy, no originals. ive since had a new copy made, but its of the worn down previous copy.
the ignition isnt hard to turn like the other guys thread, but it will seem to lock up and not turn at all, almost as though the keys are so worn, theyre not properly engaging the tumblers. it takes several tries of jiggling and shaking to get the ignition to turn, and thats for both full on-start and off, to get the key out.
both copies can open all the doors normally, without jiggling. i have no key fob, was it available in 96?
question is, could the problem be just a worn down key, and not a bad ignition switch? if that is the case, is it possible to get an original key from GM, with the VIN number? id rather not get a new ignition switch, and have 2 separate keys for the door and switch. could a locksmith make a new original?
also, if it was available, what kind of key fob did the 96s have?
