Well, the Ford and the Mazda dealership is the one and the same here, so I'd be going to the same place. I thought I needed the lock cylinder code because of the possibility of a lock cylinder change?Current cars:
1993 Ford Festiva 5-Speed - Festiclese III - Cousin of the Banhammer - "The Jalopnik Car"
1984 Toyota Cressida - 2JZGE Swap, Turbocharged.
2013 Mazda Mazda2 - Exhaust and Wheels (the daily)
2002 Toyota Tundra - V6/Auto/2WD - The Tow Vehicle.

Take the cylinder code and your VIN to the stealership and between those two numbers they should be able to cut you a new key.-Caleb

OK, I went out and tried every key I have in every Festy lock (6 keys, 4 cars). Here's the summary:
I have 2 keys that will open at least 1 lock on 3 cars.
I have 4 keys that will open at least 1 lock on all 4 cars.
Every key would open the driver's doors on 3 cars.
The easiest to open is the driver's door; the second easiest is the hatch. This is no doubt due to wear of the locks. You'd think ignitions would be easy too, like the driver's door, but not so much. I think this is because the ignition lock is a bit more sophisticated. I only had 1 key that would start 1 other car besides its own.Last edited by TominMO; 10-28-2009, 11:34 AM.90 Festy (Larry)--B6M (Matt D. modified B6 head), header, 5-speed, Capri XR2 front brakes, many other little mods
