Tried turning the wheel while attempting the same trick that worked on the locks, but no luck. Since the master I lost did work the locks and the ignition, I suspect the ignition is more picky. (maybe an extra tumbler not used by the locks?)
The dealer by work that failed twice at attempts to cut the key was willing to offer a refund and let me keep the two keys. Who knows, maybe those will help out later with the next guy that tries to make some. I'm headed to the dealer by home this week, so hopefully I'll have better luck this time around.
