Again, thanks! | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 2,832 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 2,832 | How many keys did an AD Panel or Burb come with? The cars had a door/ignition and a trunk/glove box so they came with two keys. Next, is there any way to remove the ignition switch if one doesn't have a key to turn the switch so the hole in the face lines up with the release button? Thank you; Evan

Ive opened numerous doors, ign.,trunks, glove boxes, etc with all these.

Or you might find its worn, and any key will turn it, that's what I found with mine. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 2,557 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 2,557 | One key fits all four locks on my suburban.Passenger door lock,Ignition switch,Glove box,Rear barn door.

The switch and locks all seem to be original so if they can find a number on any of the ones I take to them they should be able to cut a new one. There is a lock shop about 50 miles from me that has the two large rings of GM keys that they let me go through till one works and then make a copy. It's aways worked but if I have numbers it would sure speed things up since with my luck it's aways at least three quarters of the way through the second ring before I Bingo.
