REMOVAL
1. Remove the front door trim panel.
2. Position the watershield aside.
3. NOTE:
-
When any new lock cylinder is installed, the driver door and ignition lock cylinders should be installed as a set. This eliminates carrying an
extra key which will fit only one lock. If a new key is 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.
To remove individual components, only carry out the listed steps.
