Also, I'm getting new tires this up coming week and don't have the key to my wheel locks....I got my car used and it never came with it. Where would you guys recommend getting replacements? Thanks

not sure about the sw, but for the key, if thats a mcguard lock sold by the dealer they usually have a few keys to try.

it's to release the harness.

regarding the wheel locks:

1. go back to the dealer you bought the car from and ask if they have they key.
2. if dealer does not have the key, try to find out the manufacturer of the wheel locks and contact the company directly.
3. worst comes to worst, you will have to do what i did many years ago when i had my civic: get some titanium drill bits and a heavy duty drill, and start drilling around the locks.

What is the button wired to?

And I bought the car at a used car dealership about 80 miles away from home. I'll probably try my local dealer and see what they tell me. Do any of you guys have wheel locks? Debating on getting a new set or just regular lug nuts.

it's not. that button allows you to release the harness in the event you need to remove your seats.

not all wheels locks have the same key pattern. post a pic of your wheel locks and, as kenchan mentioned, if it is mcgard, then you would have to contact them.

and before on debating on getting a new set of lug nuts, let's get the ones on there off first.

If you want to keep the locks then you'll need to get the key (or the key code) from the PO or the dealer.

If you don't care about keeping the locks, what the pros do is hammer on a slightly smaller socket than the lock size and let the air impact wrench do it's thing.

It happened to me on my Ram when my "key" broke when trying to remove a lug nut.

All four "locks " were off in a few seconds.

Most likely your tire shop will know the procedure.

I had my buddy check it out. I guess it's a dealer add on security unit.

The button looks like an aftermarket security button. My z doesn't have it either.
