1997 Acura RL Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
I got a call in San Roque, over in Santa Barbara. A 1997 Acura RL that had started every morning for years and then just stopped.
The owner had already been through the mental checklist. Battery seemed fine. Lights worked. Shifter was in park. He'd tried the key four or five times, same result every time. Nothing.
The human moment was this: he was holding the key under the porch light trying to see if something looked broken on it. Nothing obvious. Just a worn-down key that had been in a pocket for a long time.
I checked the dash first. The security indicator was behaving wrong. Not the normal quick flash you see on a healthy start. That told me the immobilizer wasn't seeing the transponder the way it should. I looked at the key itself and found the answer. The plastic head had a crack running right through it. The chip pocket inside had been slowly flexing every time he turned the ignition, and at some point the connection got unreliable enough that the car stopped accepting it.
Cut a fresh blade, transferred the function to a new key, and did the honest test. Start, shut down, wait, start again. Three clean starts in a row and we were done.
He'd already called the dealer before reaching me. They told him to tow it in and plan around their schedule. The RL stayed in his driveway the whole time I was there, and he had working keys before the afternoon was over.
