Am I screwed or does Needswings's skreem refurbishment and key rework service prove me (a costly) solution?
Can you lock & unlock the doors/hatch using the key itself in the driver's door handle?
I think turning the key to the right will unlock the driver's door. Turning it to the right again will unlock the passenger door, fuel fill door & hatch. Turning it to the left will lock all doors & hatch. Might be the other way around; haven't done this in awhile. Having a remote operating key fob isn't a big deal as long as your key(s) will lock & unlock the doors & hatch manually, so to speak. (Note: See Page 16 of attached file.) Others can chime in if I'm missing something.
It is the other way around (see Pg 12 in attached file).And you only need to turn it either way only once. Lefty Loosey (Unlock All Doors & Hatch); Righty Tighty (Lock All Doors & Hatch),
Had to go back & read this section again. More to the door lock system than I remembered.
