Car door locks

Post by 93Bonny »

Hello, I have a problem with the locks on my 93 Bonneville SE. When my car is locked I cant unlock the car on the driver side or the passenger side with the key. The key works for the lock on the trunk. Does anybody know how I can fix this? Please help.

You don't give enough information for us to help you find the cause of the problem.

1) Did the key work in both doors previously?
2) If so, how long, and when did it stop working in each one?
3) Do you have a key fob - (electronic lock opener)?
4) If you have a fob, does it unlock the doors?
5) How old is the key. Is it original, or a copy, or a copy of a copy?

Not sure what you are saying here. We'll need some more information to help you.

Does the key fit into the door locks?
If so, can you turn the key once you insert it into either door lock?

its the original key. I put the key in but it will not turn. first it started on the driver side but later it also stopped working on the passenger side as well. I do not have a fob.
