hi anyone know how to fix drivers door lock key will not work at all after flat battery problems dont want caught out again also should key work lock mechanically ?

Can you feel any resistance to the key turning or is it quite loose? Could be the extension on the lock barrel broken or just come out of the receiver.

DO NOT TAKE THE DOOR CARD OFF, do not touch the door card, there is no need to remove it, only remove the outer handle and lock and reset the cam to the central position.


Open the door and look at the back, there is a grommet, remove this and it gives access to a torx bolt, remove the Torx bolt and the handle comes off. The lock assembly then lifts out and you have to realign the part that's left inside the door. Just use a screwdriver to do this and reassemble.



When you look inside you will see a slot similar to the either image 1. 2. or 3 below, the slot could be in various positions depending on how it popped









Using a straight blade screwdriver gently reposition the slot until it is like the image below





Carefully refit the handle, Torx bolt and grommet and test to ensure it is working

good advice from John ^

thanks for that will try asap

ok took bolt out lock wont budge there are 2 bolts holding it in. first bolt dropped into door . card. off. with the help of a magnet got it back. can not see slotted screw anywhere mabe my door is different ? removed door lock lower screw left hand thread upper screw right hand .put it all back together and wala the bloody thing is working dont know what i did sprayed everything with silicon while i was in there i will have to disconnect battery to find out if lock is working mechanically some pics of lock

Thinking about this/ lower screw probably dont need to come out/ as there are 2 grommets i mistook this one for lock removal one hence the mystery. however i still dont know why it is working now or why it would stop working in the first place .any clues ?
