Hi,

I just purchased a 2005 Crossfire and one of the first things I asked the owner was how may keys do you have. (My question should have been how many working keys do you have).
It turns out, the driver key which the lock / unlock buttons don't work, and the spring is missing so he had a key ring and small cable tie holding it. It is missing the trunk button but started the car fine.

The "spare" key is pristine and all the buttons work, but when trying to start the car, it would start and run for a couple of seconds then die.

I ran home with the knowledge that all it needed was to be programmed. After running through the procedure, I now have the original key not able to turn at all, and the spare key will turn but not even start the car for the couple of seconds.

My feeling is the car got programmed to the spare key but is missing something? I left it as is so I don't dig myself into a deeper hole.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks...
