Thanks for the replies. I got it working again. The key would move the plunger up and down and appear to be unlocking but it was not traveling as far as it should. I found this out by getting a little frustrated and pulling on the plunger from the inside and having it move enough to get unlocked. Once open I removed the plastic and carpet strip on the bottom and found 2 bolts that hold the mechanism in place were loose. Tightened them up and checked all the other bolts as well and sprayed some dry lube in there and it seems to work like it should.
Interesting as I never would have thought to look at those bolts if it had not failed.
