Bad key

[ernestD]

This afternoon I went to start the vette -and nothing!Just a strange whine,but not a starter noise.The battery is new so I knew it could not be that,checked the cables,all tight,then I noticed the Sercurity light on.Anyway the key has been hard to turn in the Ign. sw,sooo-off the the Dealer I go to check the resisnce in the chip so I can order a new key somewhere.The parts guy comes back and says I could barely read it-the chip-but he says I have one in stock and I'll cut it for you for 30 dollars! i almost fell over I said YES I'll take it!My key was worn but the chip can wear down too!Did not know that!All is good now!:cool

key switch

Took my 98 to the shop today for the ground cleaning, I'm bi-lat amputee so its not a option for me to do.

Anyway, tech said all my electrial problems were related to a bad switch and wore out housing. That was the good news...

Bad news? 650 smackers for the switch and housing.

Only thing that made my day was talking to the tech about that supper dupper 2010 with carbon fiber brakes.

$8000.00 for a brake job!

Things can wear out over time I guess.Both my keys were worn out.My vette is 8 years old.I still get a security light on now and then,maybe the computer is still learning something? I don't know:W

HI there,

It would be suggested to check for codes in the BCM and PCM.

There is NO RELEARN of keys, so the BCM must be seeing something wrong.

Allthebest, c4c5
