Broken Door Key Lock... What to replace?

Hey guys,

A couple years ago my key fob stopped unlocking my drivers side door do to a faulty actuator or central locking module. I never had it diagnosed, so I instead just used the actual key lock... Well that just broke now after years of use. I twist the key and nothing.

Has anyone on here had anything like this happen before? What needs to be replaced?

Thanks for the help.

You need a repair kit from Turkey or UK. Works like a charm. Easy 30 minutes DIY. I did it last week.

Care to elaborate a bit? Is it a fix for the key lock or the keyless entry? What does it fix?

Thanks!

It's a fix for the lock, a repair kit, costs $15-30 depending on the vendor. Could be found on eBay. Usually ships from Turkey(my seller) or uk. On YouTube there is an excellent detailed video how to do it. Search, there is a HUGe thread on this forum for this problem. Search before starting a thread for a common problem like this. It's all spelt out for you already.
