I took it to a local shop thinking that the problem was simply the push-start aftermarket button without really troubleshooting the car. The guy had my car for over a month and did nothing besides pulling and tearing apart all the push-start button system, he lost the key that was wired to the push start button. i towed (again) to one of the best shops in Philly and they have told me that I will need to get the original ignition switch and install so I could take to the dealership an reprogram the computer to match the code of the spare key.
I am trying to decide what to do. I have towed the car three times (+$500) the new part will be at least another $500 and I don't know if after all the problem with the car was the push-start system.
The car has 125,000 miles on it.
I am trying to decide if it will be worth to fix it and keep it/sell it or sell it like in its current status.
If you actually have an "OEM spare key".. why deal with a skreem and mess? It's RFID chip is already programmed for the car.. (even if you were told to "have it programmed"... that's just BS) The metal key and switch is what you need to get away from the push start thing..
