[SloWPanda]

well on both my 95 and 97 eclipse. the key just dont work anymore, both left / right door and trunk. im sure its a common problem on 2gs. is there a fix?

Get some Wd-40, use the little red straw thingy, stick it in the hole, and spray for about 3-5 seconds. Put the key in and wiggle it around, and try to turn it... Keep spraying/turning/wiggling until it turns.. Dont break your key off in it. WTF

That worked for mine when I had the same problem. It should fix you right up.

Sorry to bring back an old thread, but I just wanted to say, my lock wouldn't budge even a little, so i knew WD wouldn't help.
I followed the guy's instructions via link above, and finally I have a working driver's lock cylinder + security system!
(the filling down the teeth is what worked for me, I was too impatient to play with all the diffrent combos)
Wish the guy was still on this forum, would like to thank him for such a good write-up!

I just did mine the hard way, pulled all the locks off and soaked them overnight in gasoline! Boy was that crap dirty, almost couldn't light the gas on fire after it soaked! ICK!

I sprayed Lock-Ease graphited lock fluid into mine once and it worked like a charm.

Well I don't know what the previous owner did, but when I took the lock out of the cylinder, none of the teeth were flush, none of them..WTF

I would recommend the graphite over WD... or atleast once the WD cleaned out the lock assembly, use the graphite to lubricate it as a final step.
