Tailgate lock is frozen 700

posted by  someone claiming to be nate on  Fri Dec 10 05:37 CST 2004 [RELATED]

The 700/900 FAQ has good advice for removing the panel.

The lock cylinder itself is held in place with one clip, though the panel with the license plate bulbs may have to be removed from the tailgate to get it out. I soaked mine in PB soup for a few hours and then removed the tumblers file the crud off. Be careful to put them all back in the same order. And don't lose the springs, either.

Good luck.
