27. One last thing
Tue Dec 31, 2024, 08:28 AM
Dec 31

I did this this morning and it worked.
I had a second key that starts the car but would not operate the locks. It was placed in the ignition and turned to on then off 5 times and removed. Next, while pressing and holding the unlock button the center 'lock' button was pressed 3 times. Release all buttons. The car went through a lock/unlock cycle and now that key works.
