Hey golde30 would you know by any chance if the dealer still sells the lighted key interinals? My key is just the hollow outside part with nothing inside. Werid shit.

[golde30]

i dont know. you can buy the whole thing for about $24 though.

got a pic? i know that the button part needs to be pushed to place it in the key.

i change mine to an LED, worth the money

I couldn't get mine back together with all the parts.
Good luck!

Your spring must be catching on the metal contact ring somehow.

Chop it up and do the LED conversion. I did that like 5 years ago and it still shines bright blue.

[roundel]

yeah the led conversion is worth the 4 dollars, and then you can get an even brighter light in diffrent colors if you please

is there a DIY on this? i cant be bothered spending any more of my crunch time on a single extra thing. :(
