Locked Car

It sounds like the tumbler has gone bad or may have frozen. Do you live in a cold climate?

The tumbler is the part that the key goes into. It is made to turn only when the correct key is used.

Just for the heck of it, try running a hair dryer on it to see if something has frozen. They even make a product just for frozen tumblers.

Try that and let me know if it helps. If not, then we need to think about replacing the tumbler.

Elaine,
Great! That was an easy fix. If you go to the parts store, they make a product that you can spray into frozen door tumblers. I would say keep it in the car, but if you have luck like me, it will be in the car when the locks freeze in the lock position. (Lol) Maybe put it in your coat pocket.

Take care and let us know if you have questions in the future.

Keep Warm!
