acfortier Posted August 19, 2011 Author Share Posted August 19, 2011 Hmm, thanks for letting me know. Can anyone point me in the right direction for key blanks? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJRemi Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 I had two sets of keys made at Home Depot a couple weeks ago. It took a few minutes for the employee to find the proper blanks, but both sets work just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acfortier Posted August 20, 2011 Author Share Posted August 20, 2011 Well, had them make replacement keys with RA3 and RA4 blanks. The door lock keys worked, but he made one for the ignition and it didn't work. I'm wondering if its just because the original is so old and worn out that a copy can't be made correctly to fit in the ignition, which also could be worn out after 23 years? Any thought?

Eagle Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 I don't know if the numbers translate between brands, but in Cole (National Key) the correct blanks are RA3 for the doors and B46 for the ignition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acfortier Posted August 20, 2011 Author Share Posted August 20, 2011 I think they also tried copies of B46 blanks for my ignition and those didn't work either. I believe that is standard for a GM car to take the B46. EDIT: This site lists the B46 as equiv. to the RA5... :dunno: http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/Key-Blank-5ZLF7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grabber Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Go to lowes, b46 will work for a AMC if the master is not to worn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acfortier Posted August 21, 2011 Author Share Posted August 21, 2011 Looks like I may need a new ignition cylinder. How hard is it to replace from the unit at Team Cherokee? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had copies made when I bought the Cherokee new and I put the originals away so I would always have a fresh template for making duplicates. Those ARE the numbers. If a B46 didn't work, you need to find someone who knows how to use a key cutting machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
