Hello all,
I got another issue with the 850. The key refuses to turn in the drivers side door lock. I've taken it apart, can't see anything wrong, refuses to move, I've tried spraying lube in there but still no go. Am I missing something obvious?
Thanks.
Chuck Jaxel.

If you are one of the lucky ones with a working remote, don't lose it :)

The external locks have a habbit of allowing salt to creep in and make a mess of the aluminum parts. If you have already taken the cylinder out, I suggest spraying it with WD-40, a great solvent but lousy lube, and gently working the key.
If you get it working, flush the WD40 with graphite to keep it working.

Don't break the key! My dealer wants $15 for a new one.

If you buy a new lock, they can be set to the old key by a locksmith for a few extra bucks.
