New member. I just got a 2003, was testing the locks and Alarm went off. Went into theft mode, aftermarket alarm FOB does not register, cannot locate aftermarket alarm box or valet button, keyhole does not turn, had to tow car home =( Steve from the other club said lube the keyhole (will do tonight). Your help and advice is greatly appreciated.

Yeah, the emergency keyhole can be really tough to turn, even when lubed. I had my fob refuse to unlock my doors one day. No real reason why, but I ended up having to use the key to get the door open. Fob worked fine the next time I used it though, so not sure what was up with it that day.

Big props to Steve-Indy for helping me figure this problem out. I lubed the keyhole with WD-40 and wiggled it about a hundred times, now I can use the car without a FOB.
