Boot lock has been disconnected from central locking so have used key to unlock boot/trunk , now the key wont go all the way into lock so can't turn the key to unlock
Hi Stephen:
Hmmmm....
2 things to consider:
- Key - has it been damaged? If you have a spare key try to gently jiggle it into the lock. If it won't go all the way in then the problem will be with the lock.
- Lock - Is there an obstruction? Try using WD-40 with the plastic tube in the nozzle. Slide it as far into the lock as possible and try to flush out the problem. Sometimes insects will make nests in key slots. They did in my ride on mower ignition.
Hope this helps.
Cheers.
Testimonial: "Thanks ted , the key looks ok and have tried the spare which has never been used , so could well be something stopping the key so will try flushing the lock out"
