My glove box(not sure if you'd call it that) was forced open and I need to fix or replace the lock. I can turn the key but it does not lock. I unscrewed the lock and have it out but I'm not really sure if it can be fixed. I have the black covers off and am looking at the spring and the main lock unit.

Any ideas?

 

buy a new lock $25

Is that the lock assembly or the lock? I just disassembled mine so I have the lock so I guess i just need the assembly.

 

it looks like its both, or just the assy w/o lock. its only $25, you can buy it and disassemble it so that your current key works in it or if its just the assy you wont have a problem at all.

 

Ok, thanks guys. Glad it's not too complex to fix.

 

to be truthful.... that lock isnt going to stop anyone who wants to get in there..
you can just force it open or get a flat head and jam it at the top and rip it open,
dont keep valuable stuff in there and hope that lock is going to hold up.

if you were going to fix it because of the look and it may be falling open its worth while
but to prevent thieves... your going to be wasting money

 

Well there's a lot of little things wrong with it and I want to start fixing them. I fixed my srs light a few minutes ago with a paper clip which is pretty awesome. I just need to fix my cig lighter outlet since it came out. The button that releases the sliding compartment is sticking bad too but I was just thinking of spraying PB Blaster at it and hoping it frees it up.

 

haha nice!
respect for you doing all the work and not just dropping it off at a shop
best of luck to you!!

 

Thanks. Not looking forward to the cig lighter fix.

 

Cig lighter fix is not bad, you can squeeze your hand in there and do it. I have and my hands are not small.
