Eagle Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 The lock cylinders are held in by flat spring U clips, which you can pop off from inside the door. Remove the inner door trim panel and you'll have access. Don-t bother with used. You should be able to buy NEW, with NEW keys, from any of the chain parts stores for around $10 each.

jtdesigns Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Theres a hole with a round plug in it on the side of the door you can pop off and gain better access to the spring clip too.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WahooSteeler Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 my one door lock does not work so i was wondering if anyone can give me any hints on how to get them out. how long does it take. also does anyone have a spare set they can sell me? It takes about an hour and 15 minutes. An hour on the first one and 15 minutes on the second one. At least that's how it went when I did mine with my stubby little fingers LOL. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best way to remove the clips is to remove the plug on the side of the door (it is an access plug to remove the door handle) and insert a long screw driver thru the hole and against the clip and tap it with a hammer. Also, before you can disconnect the actuator rods there is a fold down clip/lock that you must flip down before the bend in the rod will slide out of the hole.

I got some doors with no keys and bought the locks w/keys from Auto Zone for $11 bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WahooSteeler Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 so dod i need to take all the panels off the door is there any screws or anything holding them on? unscrew the armrest first. unscrew door handle but leave attached, i.e. don't disconnect rods. take a screwdriver or preferably a prybar or something similar and go around perimeter of door panel and gently pop out the plastic "push pins". be gentle so they don't break off and you can re-use them. lift up on door panel to release from the top and then start to slide it back a little. At this point you work the door handle assembly through the opening in the door panel, and once you've done that the panel comes right off.
