Topic: key,locks,ignition cylinder problems

[spacoli]

Hi,

I bought a 93 p-u that had been sitting around for over two years. The key will not open either door (lock stuck), fuel lid cover (lock stuck) and once the key is turned to lock in the ignition it is very hard to get it out of the locked position to get it started.

How can I get the locks unstuck? I only received one key from the seller and I think it's wore out. Can I get a new key from Toyota some way? If so is there a key number or something like that I can find on the truck?

Thanks

you can go to a dealer  they  will make you a new key  from the trucks vin number

The number you need is stamped on the door lock cylinder on the passenger side of the truck.

I called the dealer, they said come in with the VIN # and they could give me the key # and take that to a locksmith to have a key made.

That's what I did. I called around to the locksmiths and one said $30. and there was another guy that does it part time, he said $10. and $2. for extras. So I went with the cheaper guy.

The new key unlocks the doors and gas lid now no problem. The ignition is still a little sticky getting it from the locked positon, but it was allot better and getting better than the first time I used it. The key was tight getting it in, he said it will be that way untill the key gets worn in a little.

Thanks to all.
