[QUOTE="Gypsy me, post: 760912, member: 60444"] Len, is yours an OEM cover? Assuming it is, and you put the key in and turn it and hear a click, but won't open. Check the flat metal clip that holds the lock cylinder in place. if it is not that could be the ends of your cables may have come out of the slot they need to be in to give tension to open the latches. if you put the key in and turn it and can't turn it. That could be, slight rust or debri in the cylinder...OR you locks need rekeyed. Ford will not sell just the lock cylinders...they make ya buy the whole lock assembly and cables. also, Have you tried the emergency cable under the cover to see if that half will open. If you pull it slightly, you should hear a click (latch opening) you should be able to open that half of the cover so you can look closer at the cable and metal clip on that side. kinda weird they used to work and now don't for a year. these are just some ideas to check and ponder on...
