does anyone have a solution that doesn't require banging on the key ?
---------------------------------------
hi - i am from toronto, canada
- 2003 dodge durango 4.7 liter, 2wd/4wd, automatic tranny -

i tried banging the key with a rubber mallet, whilst in the ignition, and works with all 3 keys i have, 2 w/ FOB, 1 w/o

i need to do 'banging' each time i start the vehicle
i can start the vehicle now WITHOUT the 'banging' BUT cannot get turn signals nor windows to work -

 

Replace the lock cylinder. You can get it at advanced auto and change tumblers for your keys. not a hard fix (Part No. 924-709)

 

i am in toronto, canada [90 miles from buffalo]

i think the site u gave me is in the u.s.
i am not mechanically inclined

a dealer wil probably charge a lot for this
would a locksmith be less expensive ?

thx for your reply

 

If you are not going to do it yourself, how much you may pay to have the work done is dependent upon your location, we would have no idea. You'd have to check around your area at locksmiths and dealers to see what professional options are available.

 

i will find out where i can buy that part in canada and for how much then ask locksmiths aeound here how much to install

my local mechanic just rolled his eyes = expensive

thx again
