I have looked and looked and can’t find any lock cylinders that match what I have. Can anyone please help? Thanks.
the full spec on the car is needed, they do not have 1 lock cylinder for all years and all door sizes short/full. (just did mine last month and know the ropes)
there are 4 lock cylinders on the car, IGnition key, 2doors, and rear hatch
does only one fails .? Guess yes.
are all keyed the same, now or wanting that now? (no)
Many of the clones sold now are junk, or sold for wrong door, and not even listed correctly for year/door short or tall.
the doors still OEM , not those , webbed "NO" tubing doors (skeletons)? still stock we think.
so my guess is OEM 1/2 doors still stock. ( a rarity this old)
not the rear door but front doors only. (the rear is not the same job) (check off FRONT doors)
The 1/2 door is easy, the video below proves this.
here is my post on the harder car, never posted by me before.
yes the locks are not the same. (tall /short and years) sorry this is and OEM fact of life and jeep does not make them now. fact 2.
Yes crown may have them through their franchisees.
mine are held in with door U clips. others use circle ring clips. what does yours have?, as many jeeps old are modified even with wrong parts.
my 95 has/had U clips. that are very tricky to replace (not yours)
here is how to do the U clips.
- door card off
- window rolled fully up
- remove main door latch or you can not get the the cylinder, (unless Olive OYL) the rods snap off using small 1/8" slot screw driver to tip them off.
- mine had gringo inch bolts the new lock latches were 6mm (yes new latch installed too mine was a wreck.
- latch is out. (my old one had broken rod metal clips, making inside lever dead)
- the clip goes behind the window rear rail, to slide behind it and get it on to the new cylinder. (takes 10 tries as all 10 top posts warn) (hard)
- once this far, the rest is obvious.
step 3 and 4 are not the same on 1/2 doors. see video below. vastly more easy. for sure door off. (wow smart guy below)
did you look at yours first. so see what is there now ( U clips or circle clips)
or see the silly plastic lock/unlock clip is busted or just fell off end of cylinder.
in my case the whole cylinder was falling off the door, (U-CLIP long lost by PO) (fail mode 1) there are many, fail modes not just 1.)
out side levers dead, or inside or inside lock lever dead.
or just key dead
or only rods fell off.
or bad cylinder or only the wrong key is used. does it turn from end to end rotated if yes the rods fell off. (end store easy fix)
The door parts on jeeps are big time fiddly parts. (and varies by year and doors there) even vin serial can matter. for door parts evolution. 88-95
the title says 1/2 door and those cylinders are different the end lever of cylinder is not the same 1/2 to full. buy with due care.
so when buying cylinders make sure the correct cylinders are picked, (there are 3 kinds at least ) sorry.
quadra track seem not to understand 2 words, full and half (or 1/2) so ....good luck there.
video(click me)
I see now the 1/2 doors are 10x more easy than my beast.(full)
the video shows U clip like mine and E clip for the end rod lever part. unique to 1/2 doors.
as always good luck fixing any car this old. very few 95 cars of any kind are not on the road now. (eyes looking on the city streets)
be proud yours does.
always look first, see what is there first. hacks are like at 99%now/
