Key Code

[Guest mnv11]

Does anyone know if there is a key code available? I have an '01 Sport, and had a locksmith create a new key from a broken one, it works in the ignition, but I can't get it to work for the fuel cap! Any Idears?

This won't be a problem for the locksmith to address.

It likely means you key isn't cut exactly right. I know that's the obvious answer, but there's a way of checking to at least see if one of the key cuts isn't deep enough. Wiggle the key in the fuel cap a few times then look closely at the key cuts. If you see a slight dimple on one of the cuts, that will be one that is not cut deep enough. A slight buff with a file will fix that.

The other way is to measure the key cuts with a micrometer to see which cut might be too deep. These locks have either 5 or 6 pins, from the looks of them.
