Inside Door Locking mechanism
1999 F-150 Sport 4x4
So the deal is I had to use a slim jim to open up my truck door the other day. Door still locks/unlocks fine, only not with the key. Key will still fit & turn the barrel without any prob. just doesn't engage the lock. Took the door panel off and it looks as if the Rod that connects the inside of the key barrel to the lower (part)? not familiar w/name. has come loose. Hoping some1 has a diagram/picture of how it should look to help me get everything put back together so the key'll work again. Sucks unlocking passenger side and climbing over to open driver door. Note****Manual locks, if that helps. Thanks in advance

Gave it another look, it's definitely the metal rod/linkage has come loose from the locking mechanism. Doesn't look like the plastic clip has broke just the linkage fell off. Was just the top, but thanks to my tinkering is now completely off. Any1 have a diagram of how it fits back on or any tips to make this go a littl easier/faster. Hard to get to through removed door panel cause of hand size so tips are greatly appreciated
