Instrument Panel Compartment Door Lock Cylinder
The instrument panel (I/P) compartment door lock cylinder uses 4 of the 10 key cut positions, 7-10 when counting from the key head. The tumbler
orientations alternate in adjacent locations with all 4 tumblers (3) located on the same side. A stainless steel retaining tumbler is used in the I/P
compartment door lock cylinder to retain the lock cylinder in the latch assembly and does not move when the key is inserted. The retaining tumbler is
located in the tumbler slot closest to the head of the cylinder assembly (1) and comes pre-installed in the cylinder.
