Replacement barrel key.
Replacement barrel key.
I went to my local locksmith to have a second key made, and after three tries now the replacement is not working. Are we missing something ? Factory key works great, but when I put in the replacement key it won't turn other than a little bit towards the back. Forward toward ignition doesn't budge.

Took a key with the key code on it to the dealer (on the key behind the plastic protector). Had a new working key in just a minute or so. They can get the code using the VIN but code in hand simplifies the process.

I had 3 made by a Lock Smith and had no problem on a 2003 FLHTPI. Maybe he could try a different brand of blank.

Had one made for my 03 FXD. Worked fine. Only difference was that Harley key had a small hole in the side that received a detent ball in the lock to keep the key from falling out in the off position.
