Lock Problem

[biddlej]

Went to use the KEY not the Fob to unlock the tour pack and it will not budge. Key goes in but doesn't turn. The fob unlocks both the tour pack and trunk (CSC, 1800). Any suggestions? Thanks............

Lock ease? If the mechanical is not used for awhile it will gum up ... On all my Harleys, the barrel key tends to get full of pocket lint then doesn't work right ... if it's a barrel key check that.

Jim you can remove the plastic piece covering the lock mechanism in the top box by removing five screws, 3 on top and two on the bottom. Sounds like the keyed portion of the lock is either dirty or one of the plastic hold downs has disengaged.

Thanks Guys. When the weather get warm enough to be comfortable outside, I will look into it.

I bought some silicon spray lube. Works pretty good.

If you haven't used the key part and the trikes several years old. The original OEM grease has a tendency to harden up over time.:Shrug:
Use some WD40 give it a good shot let it sit a few minutes then work the key in and out a few times before trying to turn it. Just an old locksmiths 1st advice as to what to try.
