Hey guys, the driverside door lock won't turn to unlock. The key goes in but won't turn, tried spraying PB Blaster in it but won't work. Any ideas??
 
Aloha Jerry,

If you can get the door panel off, follow the linkage and you will see where the bind is.
 
Keep trying, mine dried up too and took some spraying with WD40 and working back and forth. If you get it working , buy some Lockeze spray , stuff has graphite in it, works great.

What ever you do don't force it. The clip in there is probably old and dried out and will snap pretty easily. Mine is broken and I haven't been able to unlock mine with the key for several years now. Luckily the remote still works and the keypad does too.
 
I always use my remote to lock/ unlock my doors. I guess this last winter really took a toll on the lock mechanism. I've used graphite in all of my past vehicles, just haven't tried it on this one yet. I'll fix it, I just wanted some advice and input on wether y'all have had to deal with this. Thanks guys.:banana::haveabeer:
