Glad it works!!

 

I also just receives my blank and had it cut at lowes, it seems like it didnt take and may have be minorly miscut. So I took it to Ace hardware and they tryed to fix it. I have tried the D.I.Y. steps many times but its not taking. When I put the new key in the lock light flashes fast. Anybody have any suggestions before I hunt down a new key blank. Last time I got it on ebay from someone in th UK.
Thanks

 

There's a difference between the key not being cut correctly and not being programmed correctly. It sounds like you have a coding problem, not a cutting problem. If the key turns in the ignition, it's cut correctly.

If it won't start the car, it's not programmed correctly.

As for the wire brush deal, most places will take the wire brush to any newly cut key (or should) to deburr them.

 

I'm not sure whats wrong, they did deburr it and it looks very close to perfect the second time they did it. If it is the programming I'm not sure what more to do.
The reason being that is I read that it should still be able to work in the door and trunk but it won't. Those should not need the key to be coded, or at least thats what I remember reading.
