Center Console KEY???

[denalianyone]

It should be pretty easy to change with a few screws to take out underneath the lid. The tahoe may be a little different.

I found a dream junkyard today that had right at 30 tahoes in our bodystyle plus 15-20 more in the bodystyle before ours. I didn't think about that lock or I could have got one today but the hard part would be gettin lucky and finding the key still in the truck. I found out that I have the hardest interior to replace, out of all those hoes none had the light grey door panels with tan arm rest/handle piece.

Curious and not having a key for my '02 '**, either, I looked into it. The lid halves are glued together.

I am gonna post the He Man method of solving this dilemma (with pics) so should I post it in this thread or start another somewhere?

I had the same problem, got my car used and it didn't come with a console key. I tried a few different locksmiths with no luck. Called the stealership, a guy in the parts dept said to replace the whole console assembly for about $200. I finally went to a locksmith that specializes in auto keys and remotes, he had to special order it, and he charged me $30 for the original blank and $2 for a copy. Total - $16 each, not too bad I think. The key looks like a mailbox key, yellow metal with the word CONSOLE on one side, and with the code CON1 underneath on the same side. Hope that helps.

Did you try Cochran in Monroeville, The GM parts guys are pretty decent and helpful, they have helped me out a couple times with info, just make sure you have your vin# other wise they wont even continue

on my 02 i have the locking center console. however i bought the hoe used and never got the key for it. i called the dealer to see about getting the key and they told me id have to replace the entire console and of course the price was outrageous. has anyone got a replacement key made or replaced the lock on one of these before????

I went to a locksmith and had them key it my ignition/door key. Cost me $35 and I did’nt have to install it.

Just to add to this 9 yr old thread, when i had my nbs and lost the entire key ring remote etc, my locksmith matched up my single console key to yes, a maibox key.....99 cents later, done...

I got replacement keys off eBay. I searched for gm console keys, and then gave them the 3 digit code engraved on the cylinder. Was like $10 I believe.
