Stick a screwdriver into the hold in the bottom of the steering wheel cover...99.9% of the time that releases it.

If not...

call 1-800-MERLINMAGIC

go to the dealer and get a new key. Been there done that its about 140 for a key

yeah, the dealer should be able to get a key from the VIN.

Yep. Like stated. You didn't need to buy a new cylinder. Just take the vin to the dealer with proof of ownership and have them cut you a new key.

I understand i can take it to a dealership but $140? Thats a little too much for me, All i need to do is turn the key into the on position and i'd good i can change it out from there and it only cost me $18 bucks..

i paid nowhere near 140 to get a new key cut at dealer.. its been years ago but it was only like 40 bucks IIRC

Passkey isnt cheap. Maybe 140 was alittle high I dont remember the exact total

 

[azmattaz06]

Lmao sry but when it comes to an emergency like this I gotta get some attention

the key for my camaro that had the little chip deal built in was like 40 bucks.

Your 98 should only be passkey2(chip inside cylinder) and not PK3(chip inside key) so you should be able to go into the dealer and get a key for under 20 dollars cut according to VIN number.
I think it was 2000 or around then that they got PK3.

They want $65 which isn't too bad when you're thinkin $140 at the beginning
