Default Doors don't lock/unlock. w/ bonus! Key won't fit in trunk lock either.

So it's the common central locking module issue.

BUT, I can't even get the key more than 40% into the truck lock?? The tiny flap of metal that covers the lock hole is stuck partially open. I wonder if junk got in there and just seized it up and that's why nothings working?

Does that sound possible? Thanks.

Default I am guessing it is unlikely that your trunk lock jammed everything else...

go through the usual liquids to try and get it to
slip out.

It is a main key. Hardly ever use the key on the rear. Worked in years past.
