Hi, and thanks for any assistance!

I have a '97 DeVille. The gauge cluster got fried. I bought a used one on eBay out of another 1997 DeVille.

The new cluster is in and lights up properly, however, the security feature won't allow me to start the car. I greatly suspect that something in the new gauge cluster won't recognize the old ignition key. (The key turns fine, so I think it is the chip.)

Any thoughts? How do I know what replacement key to order?

Thanks to all!
