Another Liftgate Problem (non actuator)

My 2001 V10 liftgate lock never worked with the lock fob or when activating power locking from the driver armrest switch. I could insert key in the lock and turn it only with great effort, but it would eventually lock. Each time I was afraid I would snap the key off in the lock. I decided to silicone spray inside the keyhole and at the side latches. Immediately, the lock was free moving right to left. I thought "Great, problem solved." Wrong! now the key does easily turn either way but never locks the gate. I am stumped. I can deal with having to manually lock/unlock the gate as I am not in and out of it much, but as it stands, I can't lock it at all. Any ideas?
