Lost my only key
Hey everyone. I have an '88 Turbo II. I had only one key and lost it. What should i do? I read somewhere that there is a key code on the passenger side lock. Could someone clear that up for me and tell me exactlly where it is?
Thanks

I heard some where before that if you give Mazda your VIN they can make u a copy of the key with proof of ownership of the car. Like i said i heard that around, but cant comfirm it

that same thing happened to me with a pulsar that i owned if you take the door panel off and remove the lock cylinder, most lock smith places will be able to cut you a key from it, i think it cost me like 80 bucks something like that

The dealership has a code book with all the vin numbers and will be able to cut you a key without an original. It'll be one of those generic Ilco keys but I suppose that is the least of your worries. Proof of ownership will be required unless you drive it there, which you won't be I suppose.

Of course for all i know whoever i talked to could have been a lazy shmuck who didnt feel like doing anything.

Unless you're absolutly sure that you still have the stock locks that match the VIN, just get a locksmith to come out to you and make you a new key.
I had the same thing happen to me and I went to the dealer with the VIN and they made a key up for me in a few minutes. Went to start it and it went in and turned, but didn't come back out. Completly stuck in the igntion. After getting the ignition off and taking it to a locksmith, I compared the key he made from the lock and the key that Mazda had made. Nothing at all alike.
Safer bet to get the locksmith.

I ended up calling Ray Crowe at Malloy Mazda who got me a real OEM Mazda key with the rubber head, imprinted with the "Mazda" logo, which he threw in free with the rest of my parts order!
