FWIW, when we ordered the new lock cylinder from the local dealer (rusty couldn't get the vin coded ones at the time), the dealer did something stupid, and the car's key (which works for the glove box and trunk, as well as the doors) did not work. After finding someone with marginal intelligence behind the counter ("wow, it doesn't work. are you sure this is the key that starts the car right now?" "yeah, car's in the parking lot, go check for yourself") the counter guy made some nasty phone calls and told me to come back in a couple of days. New cylinder worked fine. K
