1998 Buick Riviera Remote Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
Got a late call from a guy over in Rancho Simi Park. Third-shift warehouse worker, had one key for his 1998 Riviera, and the thing just stopped turning the ignition. Car sat dead in the driveway. His SECURITY telltale was solid on the dash.
He had already called two dealers. One was closed. The other told him to tow it in and leave it, estimated two to three days before they could even look at it. Nearest one was a solid drive away. He figured he was stuck until the weekend.
I drove out to Simi Valley around midnight. Checked the key blade first. The PK3 resistor pellet was still intact, no visible crack. Ran my meter across it and the resistance was right in spec for the programmed value. The real problem was the passlock wire harness connector at the ignition cylinder housing. Corrosion on the pins. Cleaned the connector, re-seated it, and the Theft Deterrent Module picked up the resistor signal again. SECURITY light cycled off after the 10-minute relearn.
Then I paired a fresh KOBUT1BT remote because his old one had a cracked board and intermittent button response. Tested all four buttons, walking each door and the trunk.
He just stood there watching me pack up, like he expected more to it. Sometimes the fix is at the connector, not the key. Done right there in his driveway, for a fraction of what the dealer route would have run him.

Reviews from customers who stayed home
“I got locked out of my vehicle and also lost my key. Marco came out, made a new key for my Toyota, and got me back on the road. He was professional, friendly, and clearly knows what he is doing.”
“My ignition would not turn in La Jolla and I thought I needed a tow. EZ Car Keyz repaired the ignition on the spot and also made a spare key for safety. The technician worked carefully and confidently.”
“Niv showed up, did his thing, and just like that I had two new keys for a fraction of what the dealership quoted. I have zero reservations recommending him to anyone who needs car keys replaced.”
