My driver door lock is on the fritz... i put the key in and it spins in circles.   I need to figure out how to remove it and rebuild it.   

I assume I pull the door panel off and then unscrew a bracket from the interior of the door but at that point.... the inside of the lock is a basic tumbler setup?

Once you take the door panel off you should see 2 rods on the handle. one for the handle and one for the key cylinder. Plastic clip probably fell off. One nut holds the handle to the door. Take handle out if you need to replace the cylinder

If the key can turn around 360*, the lock cylinder itself is fubar :2cents:

Once you get the door handle off, you'll see that the lock cylinder is held in from behind with screws. Get a new one (or old one) and have a good locksmith key it for your key.

A GOOD locksmith here has all of the old parts needed to do this and charges me $10 to re-key each one. He has a Chrysler "kit" with pins in it.
A BAD locksmith here once charged me to match a key, but after I looked inside it. He just removed some of the pins and springs.

You can get new matched ignition switches and door locks on Ebay. Sometimes an OLD auto parts store with have a lock set on a shelf and it'll be less than $20.
