1999 Chrysler LHS
Key Replacement - Save vs Dealer in Ventura County

Q: Do I need to tow my 1999 LHS to the dealer if I have no working key?

No. A mobile locksmith with the right equipment can handle this where the car sits. On this generation of Chrysler, the programming does not depend on a dealer-exclusive network connection, so there is no technical reason you need to be on a dealer lot. Owners who have gone the dealer route on older Chrysler models have reported long waits for parts and scheduling. The mobile route skips all of that.

Q: How long does an all-keys-lost job take on a 1999 Chrysler LHS?

Usually 30 to 45 minutes on site. Cutting the blade and programming the transponder are both done at the vehicle. There is no timed countdown or extended relearn loop that drags the job out the way some newer platforms have. Once the key is recognized and I've run a few confirmed starts, the job is done. The whole thing happens in one visit.

Q: My 1999 LHS starts fine sometimes but stalls or hesitates other times. Could this be a key or transponder issue?

It can be. On this generation Chrysler, an intermittent read between the transponder and the immobilizer can cause exactly that behavior: the car catches, runs briefly, then stalls, or it cranks repeatedly before finally starting. A worn key, a chip that's taken physical damage, or a read issue at the ignition ring can all cause this. It mimics other problems closely, which is why a lot of owners chase fuel or electrical issues first.

Q: Can I get a spare key cut for my 1999 LHS at a hardware store or a big-box key kiosk?

They can cut the blade shape, but that key will not start the car. The transponder chip inside the original key has to be programmed to the vehicle. A blank that hasn't been through that process will crank the engine and get no response from the immobilizer. So you'd have a key that opens the door but goes nowhere after that.

1999 Chrysler LHS Transponder Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

Pacific View in Ventura sits close enough to the water that cars sitting unused for months can develop all kinds of mystery gremlins. A guy called me about his 1999 Chrysler LHS that had been parked in a storage situation for a stretch. He'd found my channel before he ever needed me, which I always appreciate. He already had a rough idea of what the job looked like.

His original key was worn down and the car had gotten finicky about starting. Sometimes it would catch, sometimes it would just sit there and crank. Classic symptom of a transponder that's marginal, either a weak signal from the chip or a read issue at the ignition. Not a battery problem. The LHS doesn't have a fob with a battery on a basic transponder setup like his.

I pulled up to him in Pacific View and we talked through it on the spot. Cut a fresh replacement key blade to the vehicle, programmed the transponder to the immobilizer, and ran three cold starts back to back in the parking area. Every single one caught immediately with no hesitation. That lazy crank-and-wait routine was gone.

He had been quoted a wait at the dealer just to get an appointment, plus the parts lead time on top of that. We were done and he was back on the road in under an hour, for a fraction of what they wanted.

Chrysler LHS Mobile Service FAQ

Real costs, no dealer surprises

I lost all my keys to my 1999 Chrysler LHS. Can you still make a new one?▼

Yes. All-keys-lost on this generation LHS is a job we handle on site. The process involves getting into the vehicle mechanically, cutting a new key blade to the lock profile, and then programming the transponder to the immobilizer so the car will actually run. The late-90s Chrysler platform does not require factory dealer software or secure gateway authentication the way newer vehicles do, which makes mobile service much more practical.
