Door Lock Cylinder: Service and Repair
REMOVAL
NOTE:
^
when a lock cylinder is replaced, both door lock cylinders, liftgate lock cylinders and ignition lock cylinder should be replaced as a set. This will
eliminate carrying an extra key which will fit only one lock. If a key is to be replaced, 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.
1. Close the window.
2. Remove the front door trim panel.
3. Remove the watershield.
4. Disconnect the front door latch control cylinder rod from the door lock cylinder lever.
5. Slide the (A) door lock cylinder retainer away from the (B) lock cylinder and remove the cylinder.
INSTALLATION
