key doesn't open
 

i just got this coupe limited on 4th of july.
when trying to turn the key to open the door, it does not turn. solid.
what can i do?
thanks
yes, i can open it with the remote, but would like to do it mechanically, as is supposed to do.

Re: key doesnt open
 

I have to jiggle mine a little. Maybe a little lube. Does the key open and lock the glove box ?

Re: key doesnt open
 

yes
will try some lube.
has anybody faced this?
if so, what lube?

Re: key doesnt open
 

I use WD40 , but there are lubes just for locks.

thanks.

Re: key doesn't open
 

but, has anybody faced this situation? thats what i would like to learn. and if so, how was fixed.
and what if the battery of the key dies and cant open the door to start the engine?
thats why my concern.

and the other door has no opening for the key!

Re: key doesn't open
 

thanks Maggy.
wd40 did the job.
the way to start is the simplest, and it worked!
end of the story.

thank you for the idea. . will get it and keep for whenever i need it again.

Glad the WD40 worked! I would wait a few days or a week and consider putting a dry lube into the keyhole after the WD40 evaporates. I like the DuPont Teflon Lock Lubricant. Link below. It's a dry lubricant and once the carrier evaporates, the Teflon powder coating is left to keep everything working smoothly. A dry lube might not attract dust/dirt like a wet lube would.

I have to agree with KeithTexas. WD40 gets gummy overtime. It does work but you will have to reapply every 6 months to a year. The Teflon sprays work great.
