97 Ford Ranger Door Locks ?

[ddsmith1958]

Hello Everyone,
I have a 97 Ford Ranger Splash 4x4 and I have been having trouble with the Door locks.
When I put the key in I have to work it from right to left many times before I get the door to unlock.
It is the same way on both sides.
Does anyone have this trouble or know how to fix it ?
I have tried wd40 but that doesnt work.
Thanks and have a great week.

i have the same problems with my 2000. some days it works and some days they dont. i have some spray made for locks but it only seems to work for a few days.

I have 97 as well with the same problem. If i don't push the key in quite as hard is usually works fine. It's as if the key may be going too far inton the cylinder if thats possible. good luck
