Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Lock Service Kit
The Saturn lock service parts are packaged in small packages and are disassembled. The door lock cylinder, rear compartment lid lock, liftgate lock, glovebox lock, and ignition lock service units are all available this way. The lock cylinder service units have all the parts necessary to build up a lock cylinder except the tumblers and the tumbler springs. The lock service kit, normally found in the parts department, has the tumblers and springs necessary to build up the lock cylinder service unit to the customer's original key code. To determine the vehicle key code, refer to the key identification and usage section. The ignition module is also serviced and disassembled as a unit.
The lock service kit also contains the other components of the door, rear compartment lid, liftgate, and ignition lock systems such as clips, pawls, lock cylinder caps, shutters, and springs. This kit is provided so that the retail facilities will have the components necessary, at all times, to service the Saturn lock system and maintain its one key integrity for the Saturn customer.
