so,
those locks i ordered from rockauto did not work :(
they sent me grand cherokee locks o_O
so i took apart my old one,
to find it coroded (aluminum rust (white rust)) solid,
tons of wacks from a hammer, wd40, and lots of more hitting and swearing,
tons of cleaning, i got the clips free,
re-key'ed it to my old keys :banana:
will do passenger side tomorrow
