Programming new FOB problem
I am looking for a new FOB for my 2011, but I might have a bit of a snag. My tumbler for the emergency key DOES NOT TURN!!!! I have tried lube, graphite and enough force to bend the key and still no turn. It budges enough to barley move the pull cable, but not enough to program a FOB if I was to guess. Is there another way to program a FOB or do I have to buy a whole new assembly to get a tumbler to work???

Now I am starting to wonder if the key (in FOB) is actually cut for my tumbler??? Is there anything on the tumbler assy that gives me a code to get one made???? I am the 3rd owner and the FOB I have is not a stock one for sure (no vette emblem or identification on the bottom)....
So dealership with VIN on this I have read....... Will try this to see if the tumbler will work with the new key.

There is a way to create the required circuit by joining the tan and black wires in the connector to the switch. See post #608 near the end of this thread: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...ctions-31.html Two paper clips were used to bridge the wires. Looks simple enough.
Edit: You could also check to see if the cut key works in the glove box lock. If not, it's probably the wrong key altogether.
