I used my key in my girlfriend's RS trunk lock by accident, and now her key won't turn the lock. It'll move a little from side to side, but not much. My key being re-inserted also does nothing.

Any suggestions?

I found this thread but unfortunately its not much help..

Best guess is that you damaged one of the pins inside or caused a burr inside that is hanging up and will prevent the correct key from working anymore. Apart from generous spray lube and maybe a good blast of compressed air you may have to replace the lock cylinder.

gross--

how much are these things from satan? Is it possible to get the lock for the same key?

possibly...tho i dunno...they make rekey your entire car. IMO dont worry about it and use the release on the drivers side. my lock is kinda whack too and sometimes work and sometimes dosent...i usually use the popper

shave the keyhole.

FIXED

I wonder if I just got a lock cylender from a diff eclipse and she had 2 keys, one for the trunk, gm style.....................

they can replace the pins to make the same key work in a different lock. I had to have my drivers side lock replaced after someone too a flathead screw drive to it. so if they can do that doors im sure they can do the latch. call satan and ask em.
