do you need a lock or the actual latch? Tyipcally it'* the latch that breaks not the lock cylinder.

latch and lock are both broke had to actualy rip it open key would not turn the latch broke and the sping was caught soemhow in the lock I cant have a car break teh normal way every car i have ever hasd has been difficult. As far as I can see i need both. maybe if i try the key again but i was to P****d to try again.

Might try to take the lock cylinder out of the latch. I beleive it'* probably a bad latch causing yoru troubles.
