lock on driver door

[jhendu]

iv recently bought my ford bronco.

the year is 1988.

i'v tried to lock the driver door but it doesnt move, passenger does.

iv sprayed it down with wd40, an moved the mechanics in it but still nothing.

can anyone help me?

Welcome to the zone /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> . There are three possibilities that come to mind; 1. The tumbler is frozen, (remove it and soak it in PB blaster) or 2. It is a replacement cylinder and doesn't match the key, (remove it and take it to a locksmith to have it keyed to match the passenger door). or 3. the locking mechanism on the door latch is frozen with rust, (remove the door latch mechanism) . It will probably work best if you remove the window to get it out of your way in any of the above cases.

Good luck,

thank you for the hep.

both doors are 1 key, an when i go to try an lock the driver side it moves just bareley,

when i try to puch on it from the inside it moves a little still will not lock.

i;v even put my hang under the latch an tryied to lock it, that did not work,

so i do believe either its mud or rust blocking it an needs a good cleaning to work.

thank you for giving me the advice.

you can always get a matching set from the scrap yard if the door key it sitting in the truck, my 93 f150 has the door locks of an 84,
