Where was the original factory lug nut lock key location? Question came up on another forum with no answers. Figured I might see if the Gurus are smarter.

I didn't even know they came with locking lug nuts. What years specifically? I know on the 88 (optional)- 89 (standard) wheels the center cap has a special coded key. So I look forward to hearing this.

That is the thing he is talking about.

The location should be inside the owners manual portfolio.

Are you asking where it's stored, Steve?

The 92 owner's manual just states "Stored in the center console".
It just lays in the bottom of mine. I wouldn't be supprised if all C4's are like that.

I can ask about it on NCRS if needed.

Hummm, there is a big elastic loop there next to the 3 loops for 2 pens and the tire pressure gauge.

That's where the dealer showed me it was during the walk-through.

OK, so what is the locking portion on 90+? They eliminated the large lug nut cover with the 90 wheels, and went back to open view lugnuts.

I must be confused as to the question.

So, what else is new?

The lugnuts have individual plastic covers that look like lugnuts, more GM humor. And one locking lug nut per wheel which gives you a 50/50 chance of finding the socket key still in the car when you buy a used C4.

Who the hell would want to steal sawblades anyway???

This was on an '85. Apparently there is a clip on the actual lug wrench that holds it according to the other forum. If thats the case it prolly just ends up at the bottom of the compartment. I kinda figured it would be with the owners manual in the console. Mine resides there, usually at the very bottom under all the crap, lol.

Thanks for the responses fellers!

The 84-87 has locking lug nuts. Similar to the ones you get for custom wheels.

Let me look after work today. I have an 85 and I have the owner's manual. I'll take a pick when I find it and post up.

i just looked in my 93 40th annv pouch which has the tire gage and ink pin and owners manual. theres no loop to hold my wheel lock key. i keep it in the storage compartment behind the seat, i got it wrapped up to keep it from rolling around.
