key ignition cylinder

[Craig 94 TA GT]

I need a new ignition cylinder (pn 26033387) because the wires in my current one got cut....cut at a part where I can't rejoin the 2 wires. How would I go about getting a new cylinder? What about the pellet code, and the key to match it? Can I get a one to match my current keys - or would I need new keys? Thanks in advance.

If you get a new cyl. and key, make sure the ohms are matched to you old key... If you buy one used; make sure you also get the VATS module "under the dash by the P/S airbag."

I just sold a key/cyl./VATS mod. on eBay last week.

Thanks for the advice.

I did a little more research, and was wondering if this was possible. I buy the lock cylinder, then take it to a locksmith (or have the dealer do it) to change the tumblers to match my current key. That way I don't have to get new keys. Can I do this?

Why not just eliminate the wiring to the cylinder contacts by adding a resistor that is the same rating as your key's puck? Simple 10 minute project that will cost a buck for the resistor at Radio Shack.

Because that makes it easier for someone to steel the car.

Exactly. The last thing I need is some schmuck to take the T/A. And knowing my luck...the second I put the resistor, someone will try to steal her If only all people would work hard, and keep their hands to themselves lol

In the old days, the dealer could rework the tumbler to match a key. Maybe they still can.

The theft system in the f-bodies saved my but in san diego, I'd keep it all together.

I just got back from the dealer. They had the cylinder in stock, as well as an uncut key with the same resistance as my old one. He cut the new key to match the template in the new lock cylinder, and that was that. I'm not sure, either, if they could change the tumblers, but the parts guy recommended the previous - fast and simple. It costed me about $100. Not too bad.
Thanks for your guys' help.
