Looking for some advice from anyone who has gone thru this before.
I need to swap the new key (top key w/o head/handle) into the existing old key. Based on the pix I posted below, would it be possible to do this swap without damaging the existing keyhead?
Any ideas?
Here's the deal. My ignition busted --- the whole shabang. So I had to install a new ignition assembly --- mechanical + electrical portions. The replacement/instal went fine. Well, now I'm stuck with a new key that has only a tiny key head. NOTE, for the new key, the key separates from the key head with some force --- but you can tell that it is designed to separate.
The issue with the small keyhead --- see pix below --- is that it makes turning the ignition very difficult to do. I literally have to open the driver side door, then use both hands and crank the key to turn the ignition.
In fact, after driving away from my indie shop (who did the ignition install) --- I went for a coffee and then tried to start the car again and couldn't. I thought the car was kaput again. Had it towed the indie again and they told me I have to really crank it.
Thanks in advance!
