Can You Help

Hi Everyone

 

I have a 1999 Galaxy 2.3 GhiaX,i am having trouble with the drivers door lock.

The cause of the problem is the remote locking key ,is jammed in the lock and

refuses to come out.

Could anyone give me any advice on how to go about fixing this problem or a

walk through how to remove the door cards & locks on this model?

There is a thread in the FAQ thread on how to remove the door card.I think it is pinned in the technical section.

Thanks for the quick response,i did read the guide how to remove the door card,although my doors look alittle differant than the ones shown.

Would i be able to remove the barrel with the key still in place,or would the jammed key make removal of the handel / lock impossible?

if you are in one of the many motoring ass. like aa rac etc call them out , tell them it is your only key and you cant leave the car like that, want to go out, thats what i did and they came out and removed the key for me, i have now got remote central locking installed so i dont have to use door locks and keys anymore

I did ring the RAC,and the guy didnt even know how to remove the door card.

in the end i took it to our local ford dealer and got a lock and 2 new keys

The lock and 2 keys were 43 pounds,and 71 pound for labour,but they did a very tidy job

without any damage to the doors
