You should be able to get the tumbler assembly out of the switch assembly. You do have to take the steering wheel off, and take the turn signal switch out. There should be a small hole in the side of the lock assembly that you can push a paper clip, or some small tool into to release it. You should be able to turn the lock assembly then with a screw driver. Is your ignition key the same as the door key????? If so, take the door handle off, and take it to a locksmith, and have him make a key from the number that is on the door handle. Russ Wolfe russ_wolfe@MAHLEParr.com Mahle Parr Filter Systems 505 E.
