well, sprayed all three locks with lube. Tried and tried, to no avail. Couldn't get side moulding off, that crap was pretty solid, and I would've done some serious damage getting it off. I fished around in the door with the coat hanger, waiting for a stroke of luck. nope. So, went back to trying the locks. I got it to turn, but the lock didn't unlock! So, I was about to fish the coat hanger through a small hole in my side-view mirror, when my wife discovered that when I got the key to turn, I was turning it the wrong way. So it opened! I think what did it was the lock lube stuff. I'm not locking my car until I can get the locks replaced.



Thanks for the help and suggestions!

 

So.... How does your *** feel after this ordeal?

 

LOL, yeah the hanger musta hurt, of course he did have some key lube....

 

hahahahaha... Glad you got it open..

 

yeah, thanks. I need to learn to enjoy my car, because I'm really starting to hate it, which is kinda sad.



And Nemesis, why are you so concerned about my ***???

 

Cool.. its a good Idea to keep your old locks lubed.. specially when your key is old an worn out.. sometimes a good copy or a key cut by code will fix the problem..



it's ok.. little by little you will hate your car less.. My locks stick too, so I will probably go to my brothers shop and have him cut me a Key by code.. if that does not work then I will replace the locks..

 

Yeah, typically, turning the key in the right direction will yield the desired results.

 

hahahaha..

 

i dont think the locks need replacement, try lubing them with

graphite lock lube, not WD-40, take the door panels off and

grease the entire mechanism as well.

 

no i heard of all this rx7 door locking problems a little while back so i went out to my 7 and locked the drivers door and when i tried to unlock it fro mthe out side it wouldn't unlock with out me wigling it into a certain spot then it poped right open and the passenger unlocked real nice and i wasn't aware that theres a lock in the hatch.
