just in case anybody happened to still be interested in this thread...

i fixed my driver's door lock problem. i took the whole lock mechanism apart pretty much. i pulled the handle out and removed the lock cam so i could work on it freely. the lock couldnt turn because all the tumblers were corroded stuck into the locked position. i sprayed it with penetrating spray, soaked it banged it, then with the help of graphite lock lube, i pulled all the tumblers out and scrubbed them and the tumbler holes, lots of lube and put the whole thing back together and it works now. i dont know how it got that corroded, it wasnt sitting thattt long, but oh well, end of story.
