Door lock not working with key lssu15 06-27-2004, 01:25 PM
I have a 95 grand am SE and I cannot get the driver side door to open with the key. I can put the key in the lock but it will not turn at all so I always have to unlock the passenger side door and manually unlock the driver side so I can get in. I went to a dealership and they didn't even look at it but they said it probably needs a whole new lock put on it and it was like $150 to get it replaced, but I am not gonna pay that much for something like that. Does anyone have any ideas for me so I can fix this on my own?

So 3in1 light oil works also.

What I did was go to the junkyard, buy a set of locks from another grand am with keys and changed them, cost me $10 and a couple hours work. dfmote 11-07-2005, 05:23 PM Repo man used a slimjim and knocked a rod off. Depending upon what part of the country you live in will determine what type of lube to use. Always lube your locks twice a year and never only have 1 key. Im a locksmith and a $2 key is alot cheaper than having me come make a key for a min of $75 Related Links Enter the largest automotive community on the planet! |
