frozen door locks - will pb blaster harm them? 200 1990

posted by  someone claiming to be curiousheights on  Wed Jan 31 01:22 CST 2007 [RELATED]

The 'Vehicle for Humanity' project goes on... '90 240 sedan...

I just found out my keys don't work in the doors and one doesn't work for the trunk, either. Both keys work in the ignition. I am unsure if the locks are just frozen, or if they don't go to the car? I discovered that the trunk has been either replaced or removed and repositioned, so anything is possible.

Is there any possible harm from putting pb blaster into them to see if they will unfreeze? The keys enter the hole, just don't want to turn. I tried my key from the '86, for grins and giggles, and it acts the same way, except it doesn't work in the ignition.

I do have locks that work on the '86, but I'd really rather not have to do a swap...

I really need to lock this puppy... any help would be appreciated!

Thank you!
