I tried posting this in the general technical thread but got no replies so im hoping I can get some help on here. I read through most of the threads on repairs for the lock system but there was some items I needed advice on. First off, to me the easiest possibilty seems to be to buy a full lock set with a key that I found on ebay for $110 shipped. Here are the issues I have:
1. All 3 of my keys are copies, not originals, so all of them you have to jiggle the crap out of to get the driver door lock or ignition to turn.
-possible solution I found is to purchase a rebuild kit but I would need one for both doors, ignition and trunk? rougly $35x4=$140
2. Keys dont seem to work at all on passenger door, but it does lock/unlock when I lock/unlock the drivers side. The key spins about 1/8th turn and lock pin seems to move but it wont lock or unlock.
-possible same solution as for #1 but then who knows if its a bad key copy?
-possible that the lock is just jammed/stuck so just some grease?
3. Keys dont want to insert into the trunk at all which means a rebuild of the lock but also it seems the actuator doesnt lock the trunk when the doors are locked. How can I test the problem?
-replace central locking system?
-replace the actuator?
Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
