Drivers door lock
A few weeks ago I tried to unlock my 99 F350 with the remote fob. Didn't work so I put the key in the door and there was no cylinder. Thought I had just interupted a possible break in but not the case. Passenger side lock worked and I was able to enter the truck. Took it apart yesterday and found the lock cylinder inside the door. The retaining clip still in it's position. The back of the cylinder is a bit rough and I can't get the actuator rod to stay in place. Have searched the site and others and can't find the parts I need yet. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Rod,
I have a buddy with a '99 and while working in Houston, TX, had his truck broken into. They used a screw driver or equivalent and punched through the door lock where the key is inserted. I understand if it is done right you basically can not tell anything was done to it until you notice a bunch of stuff inside is missing.
he also said once that happens you can't use the key to unlock that door.
Sound like your situation?
Good luck,

Hi, I had the same problem last week on my 2000 F350, after attempting to take it all apart, my old man came with some wd 40 and sprayed in the key slot and the linkage, and magically it worked, spent a whole week getting in from the passenger side...
