In the 2003 Chevy Silverado, the transponder chip is located in the key fob that locks and unlocks the truck, not in the actual head of the key. If you need a replacement key, it should be relatively easy as long as you have a key that is the right length and cut to match the original key. Most vehicles use a transponder, either in the fob or the key itself, to communicate with the vehicle's receiver. This system enables the vehicle to be disarmed and started. If you are experiencing starting issues, check the transponder battery to ensure it is functioning correctly.
