Mitsubishi Eclipse Key Replacement & Ignition Solutions
For an Eclipse key that is missing, broken or stuck, start with the year, market, existing locks and remaining-key count. Confirm the correct mechanical cut and any immobilizer registration before choosing a replacement. This guide concerns the Eclipse car; identify the exact model when requesting service.
Common Key Issues and Solutions
Key Will Not Turn or Release: Stop forcing it. Describe whether it enters, turns and comes out, and whether a known working spare behaves differently. A worn key, mechanical cylinder and electrical no-start fault require different assessment.
Broken Key: Keep all available pieces for assessment and say whether a fragment remains in the lock. The pieces may help identify the cut, but a usable replacement cannot be guaranteed from every damaged key. Avoid pushing the fragment farther into the cylinder.
Key Types for Mitsubishi Eclipse
- Mechanical Fit: Check the exact blade and current cylinders. Original key records may not match locks that have been changed.
- Electronic Fit: The 2012 Eclipse owner’s manual (archived manufacturer document) describes an immobilizer requiring registered keys. Do not apply one year’s instructions to every Eclipse.
Programming Your Mitsubishi Eclipse Key
The 2012 manual provides a customer spare-key procedure with two valid keys and a correctly cut, unregistered immobilizer blank; vehicles sold in Canada are excluded. Read the full matching procedure. It is not an all-keys-lost method. If the prerequisites are not met, compare professional options:
- Locksmith: Confirm supported cutting and registration, compatible parts, access to the vehicle and whether work can be completed on location.
- Dealership: Ask about parts, documents, appointments and whether the vehicle must be present. Include transport costs if required.
