Replacement ignition keys

Post by Cruisco »

Lost my second original key. Not bad since I have had her since 1997.

When I go to parts diagrams there are 4 keys listed.
37147-03A00
37147-03A10
37147-03A20
37147-03A30

They are referred to as C OPT, D OPT, E OPT& D OPT

Anyone happen to know which one I need, or how I can tell which one is the right one for a 1996, 1400?

Thanks in advance.

The 4 key blanks have different size grooves with different spacing.
You either need the key code for the lock, or match it up to an existing key.
If you have no key at all to match against, you may have to take your ignition assy to a locksmith.
The 4 choices are for the blank only, there are hundreds of different grinds depending on the pins in your lock.
It may be cheaper to get a used part from a boneyard.

There should be a number on the lock which tells the locksmith the key combination. As Nav said though, you'd be best off taking the assembly in to a locksmith if you can remove it.
