Rear Lock

Does the key insert all the way in on the rear lift gate lock?
My only goes in partially and seems to hit a hard stop.
Actuator has gone (as have three others), so just looking to be able to lock it at night manually till I get time to fix actuators.
Never used the key lock in 7 1/2 years, so I just don't know how to do it.

Yes the key should go on all the way. Does yours turn?

Mr rear hatch wouldn't lock with the key or not. Sprayed the heck out of it with wd40 and now it works with the key and the power locks. Lots of dust gets in there, so open the hatch, pop the trim off and spray the heck out of it.

You'll be happy you did!

The key only goes in 3/4 of the way.
It doesn't turn.
I've been spraying WD40 in the past couple of days with no luck.
