Default Spare key for mag/start switch
Just relocated from Utah to Oklahoma and now cannot find the spare key for the mag/start switch (conventional ACS switch). Anyone know where I can get a spare key, (I have the ACS number on the key) as the regular Lowes etc cannot match the blank.

I have had them duplicated at a "real" locksmith shop. Lowes and the like have a fairly limited stock of blanks.

Default spare key
I have a spare key hidden inside the oil door just in case I loose my key ring.

I enjoyed getting to know you a little bit as part of our local RV builders group. Good luck in Oklahoma!

A very small (works out of a home garage) locksmith shop about a mile from my house had the proper blanks for the ACS key. I was in and out in less than 5 minutes with excellent copies of the key.
