remove the interior door panel.
look down in and you'll see a rod that connects to the key cylinder via a plastic clip.gently pry the clip up off.
lastly,now look at the side of the door (the side that meets the door jam when closed) and you'll see a large metal clip that holds the key lock cylinder in place.gently pry this clip out towards you and remove it fully from the door.
the key lock cylinder can now gently be pulled out/via a little tipping it just right, straight out away from the door.
inspect and fix,or replace with new and install in reverse order.
you may find the plastic clips are what is broken (thus making the key appear do nothing when inserted and turned) and you can just replace those.

You could have some type of corrosion or dirt in there. Maybe try some type of cleaner or lubricate in there.
I know on my motorcycle and on my buddy's, the key/igniton would get tight/hard to turn. The area was getting a lil corroded from moisture and or dirt in the air.
Are the keys worn down?
