I have had a 1996 mustang GT for years and can't remember ever using a key to open the doors or trunk (always used the keyfob). Today the battery died in the fob and when I went to open the doors with the key, it wouldn't turn in either door lock. Luckily I wasn't far from home so was able to get the spare fob without too much hassle. I changed the batteries in both just to be safe, but I would assume the key should open the door. Anyone else had this problem or any idea how to fix it?

 

Anyone?

 

i would go to the ford dealer, my key opens the door

 

could be frozen up. try some penetrating oil in them to see if it loosens them up.
