Default Stuck in Valet mode without access to the master key

Hello all,

My master key is locked in the glovebox and the secondary master is locked in my trunk. (Don't ask :-))

I saw a post where I could possibly remove a 10A fuse related to the security and door locks. I am aware that I will have to reprogram all of the remotes and I found information for that on this board. Does anyone know where this fuse is located and in what position? I would assume it is in the left passenger panel but there are a ton of 10A fuses all over the place.

Any help would be greatly appreciated so the dealer doesn't force me to cut and program a new key or break into the glove box.

Thanks,

Robert

I tend to leave a key in the center console in case I ever lose one. I was in a really sketchy part of town and didn't trust leaving it there. I placed that one in glove box. The other key my friend was supposed to have put in her purse but she put it in her coat pocket and then put the coat in the trunk. I keep a third key in the house but when I went to use it, I found that it was from my old car and not this one. Triple fail!!!

Wow, talk about bad luck. What are the odds of all those things happening all at once.
