How can I find the code for my lug nut Locks?
Hi to all. I can not locate the key to the wheel locks on my Z.
Is it possible to get the code for the key from my VIN? Thanks for any help.
Did search and no luck

There should be a card with the code in you owners manual.
I had to call the manufacturer of the locks, and they gave me the name of a local dealer that had a master set to remove the wheel locks.

Lots of shops will have the tool kit to remove those locks. I know my friend does at his body shop. I've used it before. I know this doesn't help with your key but they aren't hard to remove. I've even done it before with a socket and big hammer.

Just for grins, I'll ask. Did you look under the carpet in the rear in the indentation in the trunk floor by the rear storage compartment? That's where they were stored. Check just in case.

I stopped by the local GM dealer and asked the parts guys. They almost always keep a set for use in the shop.
He handed me the box and I walked out to the car and ran through the set till I found the one I needed.

Fine for removal in a junk yard, but don't do it on your Vette.

Thanks for all the replies. The dealership wanted me to make an appointment to have them removed, but I'm the kind of person who likes to have things fixed asap. So I went to Pep boys and picked up a lug nut remover set for 20$ and some replacement lugs until my order for the threaded set arrive on Tuesday. It took all of 10 minutes max to remove them and put the replacements on. The trunk was the first place I looked per the owners manual. Thanks for the reply though, I know alot of people ignore their owners manual, so you have to ask. Thanks again
