Dang! Bad went to worse!!!

O.k. Since I have been having an alarm trouble, rather than locking with the power lock switch, I closed the door, inserted the door key and turned to lock.
Once locked, I tried to turn counterclockwise to remove the key but it won't budge.
With my limited knowledge;
1. tumbler got screwy and got jammed in lock position.
2. whatever it is that coordinates between cylinder lock to to lock/inlock mechanism is jammed.
3. Or alarm switch (one with wires coming out) behind the lock cylinder is jammed.

I guess I will have o pull the door panel to take a closer look and if all fails, order a pair of lock cylinders.

If anyone has any helpful info please post.

Anyone with an assembly manual? I can't find any in the shop manual.

Are you looking for the door [dis]assembly section of the manual? If that is the case I can fax to you

Yes. If you have it that would be terrific.
Unfortunately, I do not have a fax machine at work. Can you scan?

I don't know if your car is different than the 90 but the conector on the door handle is where the alarm is conected to on the earlier cars.

it can be unpluged from the main harnes.

It could be that it needs to the fliped if its like ours but I have pictures of my door apart if you need it.

Thanks Phrog. Michael sent me pages (and I mean pages...) of assembly manual. I am going to dig into it in a couple of hours.
i think I am all set. It looks like there is a pivot on the end of the cylinder and a rod down to the lock assembly.

Pulled the door panel and confirmed it's the lock cylinder (tumbler). I will have to replace both in order to match the new key - a royal pain!
