Lucas,

Give Steve a chance to reply.  He is a big supporter of the list
community and has bailed lots of folks out of serious jams.

There is a code on the lock / door handle (see archive for details on
removal to access this).  Any decent locksmith can "codecut" keys for
you if he or she has that number.  That may not solve your ignition
problem.

However, you could/should send the ignition to Steve and he would set it
up to match the code for the doors.

The following is from his most recent post:
