Back to lock removal

Posted by patgreen On 2011/3/19 23:50:19

As I mentioned previously, this is the year to get locks properly keyed and functioning smoothly. Indeed, one kind participant kindly offered to come by and help.

Those of you who or had wives know that the plan, also known as "her plan" is something only visible to you in fragments on a need to know basis....so we have thus far been unable to connect.

What I wanted to do is remove both door locks, the ignition switch and the glove box lock and get them all on the same page.

The clip on the driver's door worked as it should, and I have the handle free. That was my one victory.

On the passenger door, the segment of clip that you would grab to remove is gone. I have no idea what to do there.

I can't fing anything in the manual about removing the glove box lock, so I could not get it out.

The manual treats the ignition switch as nothing at all to remove, but provides no picture. We also had a go at removing the glove box, but chickened out. Peeking in the side, the ignition switch appears to be something slightly smaller that a can of those wretched Vienna Sausages. Where and how do you compress the mysterious invisible spring?

As always, your experience will be appreciated.
