thanx for your reply MB Stars. i did forget to mention, that the passenger lock does not recieve the key. it goes in half way and thats it. its been that way for a couple of years. the trunk lock takes the key but doesn't allow me to turn the lock. its been that way since the summer. it hasn't been priority on the "to-do" list. i have used the driver's door exclusively (evidently) never really needing to use the passenger or trunk locks.
