Well, I guess I got my wish; a new project to tackle. After a work-related trip to Bakersfield (about an hour drive), I noticed that the trunk lock was having more trouble opening than usual. I tried to grease it up with some graphite, but that didn’t help. Finally, the key wouldn’t even fit in the lock cylinder any more.
It’s an easy enough fix; just replace the lock cylinder. But that doesn’t make it any less of a pain in the butt. Since I couldn’t unlock the trunk, I had to fold the seat down from the inside, crawl into the trunk, and un bolt the striker plate from the lock. Hey, I’m just glad I can still get the part: $17 at AutoZone. Time to make a tutorial about how to install…
