Hey everyone...
Just recently, my key will not work to open my driverside door. At first it just wouldn't go in at all but after a few tries it went in but it will not turn at all. It really sucks having to open your doors from the passenger side all the time!!!! Anyone have any clue what this may be???? Please any help would be great!!!!!

Either one of two things:

Get a new key...that ones bent..or

Spray some WD-40 or similar into it, fixes mine all the time with this frickin cold weather in Nebraska...

I don't think its the key because it works fine on the other side. But I will try the WD-40. I live in New Hampshire and the weather here for the past 2 days has been EXTREMELY cold soo hopefully that is the only problem> Thanks for the info!!

WD40 works for me

Same here, when I get that problem I just spray the WD40 on the key and work it in and out.

Glad to be of service...I use it on the trunk too, as that is the one that is stubborn for me. If you wanted, you could always get keyless entry...that is..IF you don't already have it..(some GXE's)
