Ok here’s the problem. I can’t open the trunk with the key. Key goes in easily. Cannot turn key. I sprayed some graphite into it. Nothing. Opens fine from the interior release.

Any suggestions. The part is $51 from my local dealer. Is this something that anyone can replace or is it better left to the dealer. I’m sure it’s another $100+ for labor

Are you using the valet key and not the regular key maybe?

EarleD

Definitely not a valet key. I only have one key. It opens all doors and starts car. Key won’t turn in trunk lock. I’m going to order the part tomorrow. And take a look at how hard it looks to replace.

A valet key will do everything but the trunk and the fuel door/trunk release.

^ what Colin said

It's usually a different color too. Mine was grey for my 7th gen Civic.

Does the fuel door have a lock? It might not unlock that either.

I have a old key around somewhere. Just the actual metal key. I managed to run it over and saved it

ill try that one.

Ok so the old key doesn’t work either. Went to the dealer to verify part number and price. Dealer price was $61. Went online found it for $35. Bought it. Gonna try to replace myself. Dealer wanted $130 for installation.

Ill update this this thread when it comes in.

New lock cylinder arrived. Install went pretty easy. Took me a few to figure I had to remove the silver trim piece.

I can can open the truck with a key. Total cost $35

Glad you got it fixed
Guess the original was seized
