Key Doesn't Open Driver's Door

Wagon99 · Post by **Wagon99** » 13 May 2018, 11:15

The key just turns the cylinder round and round. Doesn't engage the door lock. I took the panel off and see that the linkage to the lock cylinder was not attached, but couldn't figure out how to re-attach it. It's a small area mostly covered by the sheet metal of the door. Very hard to access.

Anyone know how to do this?

Thank you.

Thanks, but I already saw that video. It's different on the '99 than the '02.

The cylinder is not the problem. The cylinder is fine. Problem is, the lock housing is not connected to the door lock.

Have you unbolted the lock barrel and withdrawn it from the door?

No. Is that what's necessary?

Remove the barrel, insert flat blade screwdriver in the door and see if you can operate the mechanism.
