I lost my keys to my car. I had another car same model but it is a 2002. Will the ignition switch an key work for my 2003?

Hello again,

So just to confirm. You have an ignition switch with a key from a 2002 that you want to replace in your 2003 that you've lost the key for? I've attached below replacement instruction steps and you will also have to do a security/anti-theft relearn procedure. This will require a GM tech 2 scan tool for optimal results.Hope this helps and thanks again for using 2CarPros.
