door latch and linkage arm
Problem with lock on 39 Deluxe Coupe. The key will not lock or unlock the door. The key "feels" like it is working properly - it turns and stops at the appropriate positions but the lock does not move. Could the problem be with the linkage arm? Thanks for your input.

Yes the inside handle works as it should. The problem is the key will not lock or unlock the latch.

Re: door latch and linkage arm
Probably going to have to remove the door panel to find out what's wrong.

Re: door latch and linkage arm
The lock cylinder may not be installed properly. The cylinder has a square drive on the rear that must enter the square hole on the door latch mechanism. Suggest removing the lock cylinder to see if the drive is long enough. If you do remove the cylinder it can be very difficult to get it back in place without removing the interior door panel.
