Second Key doesn't work anymore - Help!
I was turning the car over to my wife to drive for the day, for the first time in a long time and when I turned her key (#2) in the ignition, nothing happened :rolleyes:
The battery has gone dead once in the not too distant past, so I imagine that to be the cause. Anyone know how to refamiliarize the car to its second key?
Thanks in advance for any info!

Re: Second Key doesn't work anymore - Help! (MANNY)
That did it - thanks!
I guess the key had hung on the rack long enough that the dust on the contacts was too set to come off simply by inserting it a few times.
I took some Tuner/Contact cleaner and a brush to it and she cranked right up. It's good to know the resistor "chips" are the same on both keys.
Thanks again!!!
