Where exactly is the lock? I looked on the underside of the wheel but didnt see anything, is it more by thr footwell and obdII port? Im going to go back to the dealership in the morning and beat the hell out of it. If Ibreak it even more than oh well its already broken, right? I just cant afford to spend 1100 on this

You could buy a new lock and change it yourself for much less than that. Then once you have the new lock installed you can cut the wire or pull the fuse so it doesn't happen again.

Would I need to reprogram the keys, and would it matter which lock I got if im just going to pull the fuse

You won't have to reprogram the keys no matter which route you go. Maybe you can buy/borrow ken's spare one, pull the fuse then swap ken's out for your dead one. SideNote: that may or may not work, I haven't heard of anyone doing it that exact way, just a thought.

Hmm, the damn dealer is trying to charge me to reprogram them. That would be a cool idea to swap but might just be a hassle if it doesnt work once I take his spare back out.
