Other then the obvious sketchy implications.....

go to a wrecker and pick up a switch. We have passlock

Would a 96 have that feature? I had a 95 and that key definitely didn't have any Transponder (No chip on key, back piece couldn't have held it) My newer 2003 I just got doesn't have a chip on the key either, but the back it a lot thicker... still not sure if it's a transponder. Anyone elaborate further?

Passlock does not use chipped keys.

all third gen j cars have passlock. there is no chip in the key, the circuit is in the lock tumbler. which is why they cost $120.

correction, the 95 may not have it in the lock cylinder, but 96-05 certainly do.

My 99 would run with the passlock wires unplugged after a relearn with out a issue for some reason. How ever I don't see why you can't just take a known key switch. Measure the ohm's on it and wire in a set of resistors on the two wires that matches. Then do the relearn where away you go.
