1988 760 seized lock cylinders

Post by TylerW71 »

Hey guys:

My '88 wagon has two key cylinders that no longer turn...the driver side and the hatch. There's no evidence they have been swapped. I've had them soaking in PB and so far no bueno. The power locks work. Is there anything left to do before replacing them? Thanks.

Door lock cylinders from a 740 will fit and use normal cut keys. In order to replace with original type lock clyinders an entire set would most likely be needed. The tailgate handle assembly including lock from a 740/940 wagon will fit with some wiring differences.
