valet key tip.....

[SC UL8R1990]

I have 2 valet keys for the Z and ended up losing one. Went to the local chevy dealer and they were able to make one out of comparison with the remaining one i had. The guy at the parts counter asked what the heck the little key was for "a mini-corvette?". I told him a ZR-1 and he gave me an earful on how he never sees them anymore. He asked if it was for a cargo comparment and i told him it was the engine power key. That refreshed his memory a bit, he had forgotten all about that.

Just wanted to let everyone know that they can duplicate the key.

that valet switch is one of the many things that contributed in making the zr1 famous...around here,people are still talking about it (oh,you got the vette with the power key!!)

Old post Iknow..looking at a 90 ZR1 which is missing the valet key..in 'Normal" position at present..Does this post mean a blank door key will work valet switch ? Doubt that..needs individually cut key for each car. How would I replace this missing key..Chevy dealer, other source?

THANKS

Sorta off topic, but on the 90 you can wire a jumper across the two wires going to the switch and the result is it is always on FULL POWER - important for those of us that have yanked all that secondary crapolla.
