REMOVAL
1. Remove the front door trim panel.

- When a new lock cylinder is installed, the luggage compartment lid lock cylinder and ignition lock cylinder should be installed as a set. This will eliminate carrying an extra key which will fit only one lock. If a new key is to be used, the new key code number is stamped on a metal tag attached to the key.
- Individual lock cylinders are repaired by discarding the inoperative cylinder and building a new lock cylinder using the appropriate lock repair package. The lock repair package includes a detailed instruction sheet to build the new lock cylinder to the current key code of the vehicle.

To remove individual components, only carry out the listed steps.
