95 Door Lock (Key) - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

My 95 Avalon drivers side door lock no longer works with the key. The interior electric switch works as does the remote. Before taking the door apart to see what kind of trouble I can get into, would anyone care to offer some advice?

Tnx

There are a few rods that connect to the lock depending on how it opens. The one with the key probably just came out. Had the same thing happen with the back door of my '95. It would unlock and lock with the remote, but if you tried to open it from the inside, nothing. Took the door panel off, saw the rod was out of its clip, and BAM, in 5 minutes had a perfect functioning door. My guess is yours is the same way.
