Happy Sunday

I just picked up my 2007 SS a few days ago and I've already locked the keys in the car. I was fiddling with the DIC "remote learning" last night, accidentally locked the doors and left the keys in the cup holder

No problem, I thought. I went to use the spare set, only to find out that neither the spare key or the remote will work on the car.

Before I call my insurance company for a free unlock at their leisure, is there a quick way I can unlock it myself? It's sitting in the garage..........

 

My First thought is to check your battery in your spare remote.
Are any window's cracked opened some ?
Check to see if any of our break in artist member have another choice...Good Luck 4-Sure

 

Thanks, Space - Swapped the remote battery out for a known good one. Nothing. The key doesn't turn the door lock, so I'm assuming the spare remote/key is not the correct one for this Monte.

All windows are up and sunroof is closed...gonna pry carefully at the top of the passenger door, but if no-go, I'm calling the pros.

 

Sorry to read that it didn't work, but I think you are wise to let a pro open it...I've seen to many that did more damage with a coat hanger & other types of wire's etc & did damage.

I think `if the key & remote are the wrong ones, that you dealer should be liable for any cost or inconvenience that you had ?

Good Luck & I hope that you can get a lock smith soon & on a Sunday..Keep us updated `OK...

Do you have OnStar? If you do, they can unlock them remotely... You'll have to call them from your cell or landline, but with your VIN # they should be able to help you out... Good luck...

 

Thanks Crusader for your post & great infor...I must have brain burn`out today (ok, everyday)....I 4-got all about OnStar I hope that he has the service & reads your post b-4 he has to get someone & pay..

 

OnStar was my first call. System is disabled, so no help from them. They transferred me to Chevy Roadside who charges $70, but they need my cc number, which is in my wallet in the car.

So, I called a local tow guy about 10 minutes from me who I happen to deliver mail to. He's coming out within an hour and only charging $40 cash. Gotta love it when a crappy Sunday turns out to be not so crappy after all...

 

Good to hear... I'm sure the rest of your Sunday will be great...

 

Thanks for the update & that things are working out 4 you & your Monte. I hope your dealer compensates you for their mistake & that they pay your cost.

Hard lesson learned & I hope you get a 2nd set that works & that you keep in a safe place...Good Luck & EnJoy the power of your S.S. once U can get inside & start her `up Victory

 

Maybe,
The spare key is the correct key? Just the tumblers may need a bit O lube to free them up?

I think I would have tried that option before having to spend any of my cash..... Powdered graphite works very well as well as W-D40... becareful to not overdose the tumblers (with WD-40)...if it runs down the paint...WIPE IT OFF IMMEDIATELY! Or it will eat the paint....
