96 Fiesta Door Lock Problem

The driver side front door lock has stopped working. You can not lock/unlock anymore with either interior handle or exterior key lock.

The exterior door handle does not do anything, and the interior handle only works to open the door. It 'feels' like something is stopping the mechanism from going into the 'lock' position...if i push the interior handle inwards (as if to lock the door) it won't go.

I have removed the door trim, and the sound proofing polythene sheet, and can see the locking mechanism, but have not tried to remove it. I have used WD40 everywhere but no luck.

Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this problem, or alternatively how much it will cost to replace the lock (but keep the same key).

Thanks for any help,
Mark.

Hi there your door lock problem is quit a problem with most fords. The door lock is a simple thing itsjust rods that work it if you pull these of and cant move the barrel with your hand your lock is knacked. You could try taking it out and soaking in oil but might not work. But to get a new barrel you have to go to ford take a spare key (Pref red one) and they can build your barrel to fit your key it costs about £30.00.
