Re: lost keys




AFAIK, The key code is stamped into the ORIGINAL door handle. There is no
code that I have seen on the cylinder itself.  To be safe take the whole
handle to the dealership.  Of course if you have a replacement door handle
(replacements from the dealer without lock cylinders don't have a code on
them) or a door handle from a wrecker, which will have the wrong code if
the lock cylinder has been swapped,) you're up the creek...
