The parts guy, Dave, asked me if I needed anything else.<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I&#8217;ve two sets of keys. One works the door and the ignition, which I can&#8217;t find, and one works only the ignition. If my remote dies I won&#8217;t be able to get into my truck.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I can make you a new key.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153But I don&#8217;t get it. Why doesn&#8217;t it work in the door?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Your key has a slight bend to it;  that&#8217;s probably the problem.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Then how can you make me a new key?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Have you had the truck serviced here before?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I bought it here.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>Dave went\u00c2\u00a0 to his computer and came back with the so-called key code.<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Ten dollars and I&#8217;ll cut you a new one.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Wait a minute. You mean if I were in Wyoming ( I was really thinking, Maine, in the backwoods, with the guys) and lost my keys all I&#8217;d have to do is call a Nissan dealer, or you, and I could have a new one made just like that?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153That&#8217;s right. Better yet, I&#8217;ll print out the key code for you and you can stick it in your wallet.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I brought my truck in about two years ago for recall work, dropped off only the key,  and the service manager called me the next day and had me drive back here to deliver the remote cause he couldn&#8217;t open the door. Why didn&#8217;t he suggest making another key?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I don&#8217;t know&#8230; .?<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153He was an older guy. Nice guy.  He&#8217;d had heart attacks, been in Vietnam&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153That would have been Al.  He&#8217;s dead now.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For this to mean much you have to go back and skim this. *************** I drove to the Nissan dealer in Marlborough for a replacement part for my windshield wiper -\u00c2\u00a0 the arm that connects the motor to the center &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/mainecourse.com\/mt\/2008\/02\/23\/als-gone\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2818","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-other"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mainecourse.com\/mt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2818","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mainecourse.com\/mt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mainecourse.com\/mt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mainecourse.com\/mt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mainecourse.com\/mt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2818"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mainecourse.com\/mt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2818\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mainecourse.com\/mt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2818"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mainecourse.com\/mt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2818"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mainecourse.com\/mt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2818"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
