Valet keys open the door and start the car but do not work on the trunk and glove box if I remember correctly. Skip the trunk on our cars if they have a valet key.
Do you have new batteries in the fob? Silly question but you never said but I suspect you do have new ones.
A previous poster here had problems with his key and had to have a new lock fitted as the old lock had broken somehow or had something jammed down it. Maybe it needs some lubricant in the lock.
When i got my car it came with 2 keys , one I assumed was a valet key , had no Chrysler emblem on it and the alarm button is kinda used looking
But the good key with Chrysler emblem is at my dads house in his safe , so i don't know if It's just the key or maybe a battery problem because I've never touched the other one since I got the car
I'm guessing it maybe the battery I've never tried changing it cause I don't know if I would have to reprogram it after and I don't know how on this
I'm gonna try a little wd40 and see if that works to unlock it manually but atm the key is still overall functional
