car won't start!
 
i put the key in and i cannot turn the key. it isn't activating! [no neat 'eerreee' sound. instead its a 'uhh' sound]


i disconnected the battery by just removing the negative. should i do more?

i thought i'd post just in case someone else STFF for the same problem. basically, the key is defective. i don't know why, but i took the spare and the car turned on. to make sure it was the key, i turned off the car, tried the key again and the car did not turn on. note: the defective key did not also lock and unlock. batteries are still good.

the key is covered by warranty hopefully???
