H1 bought and key listo PROBLEMS!!
I've just bought a H1 and I just got a key that has been lost.
I live in Spain where there's no Hummer official dealer. I've been able to get a plain key and I'm trying to get a duplicate by using the door lock. Does anybody know if that will work or it is necessary some kind of code for the key? The car is a Hummer 6.5 turbo Diesel pick up built in 1997. Please I need help!!! The car has been stopped for one month! |
The door lock cylinders on most vehicles only use the first 3 cuts on the key so using that as a base will likely give you an incomplete key cut. You should find a locksmith that can cut one to the ign cylinder or recode the cylinders to a new key cut.

You may want to try contacting AM General and see if they can provide a key code by the vin number

New cylinders only work once you have the old one out and you need the key to remove the cylinder. You can break out the lock cylinder but about 3 out of 10 times you will break the steering column. I would break out the old one and hope you get luckey. Try hamering a screw driver or a chisel in the key hole and turn it to the correct position ( its either run or accesory - i cant remember.) To remove the cylinder. It is a ford steering column - btw.

If you don't have a key you can replace the ignition and door locks which come with keys. Removing the ignition in one piece without the key present isn't going to happen (you use a chisel and a hammer). |
