Door Lock Cylinder: Service and Repair
REMOVAL
NOTE:
^
When a new lock cylinder is installed, the door lock cylinder, liftgate lock cylinder and ignition lock cylinder should be installed as a set. This will
eliminate carrying an extra key which will fit only one lock. If a new key is to be used, the new key code number is stamped on a metal tag
attached to the key.

Individual lock cylinders are repaired by discarding the inoperative cylinder and building a new lock cylinder using the appropriate lock repair
package. The lock repair package includes a detailed instruction sheet to build the new lock cylinder to the current key code of the vehicle.
