Key stucked in door lock
« on: April 25, 2021, 11:02:01 »
My key on drivers side stucked when I turned it for locking. Now I can't turn it back and remove it. I can't find any in the Manual or BBB about this. Any idea how to proceed?

If you can push the button to open the door, you can remove the handle by taking out the bolt.  Then proceed from there.  The end of the lock on the inside may have hung up on something preventing you from turning the key.  Here are some posts to try.

You probably tried this already but if not.....

Try relieving pressure on the key by using the inside lock switch.  Just "wiggle" the switch while doing the same with the key to see if it will release.
