Am I Missing Something? (Mechanical Key)

[Edenesque]

My mechanical key works fine to lock my glove box, etc., but will not lock or unlock the driver's door. It fits in the keyhole but will not turn it. I've tried both mechanical keys. Any advice?

Hmmm...

When you use it on the glove box it only inserts about halfway...

When used on the doors or trunk, it inserts fully...Is it possible you are not inserting it fully when trying it in the doors?

You don't mention the trunk...try it there also....Be careful though, if you search around the board, there are some reports of the lock cylinder on the trunk being corroded and hard to turn, don't break off the key....

Well, I feel stupid, but I don't see where I can open
the trunk with the mechanical key. However, after
reading your reply, I inserted the key in the door
and tapped on it gently and it went in another half
inch. Works fine now! Thanks for the quick reply!

Great...glad I could help....

The lock cylinder on the trunk lid is on the left (drivers) side under the lip facing down where the camera and license plate illumination is.
