Should this happen?(Key related)



im pretty sure one or 2 of the tumblers has no effect as far as the doors go. that leaves something
like 12 or 16 combos as far as doors go. the ignition uses these 2 extra tumblers. remember that our
cars came with a 'glove box key' that did the doors + hatch + glove box, but not the ignition.
