well, long story short, I think both door locks and the ignition lock are on its last leg, I wont blame them, after all my S5 its a 19 yr old car

So, if I buy new locks from Mazda, how do I "set" it up? anybody know how/did it before ?

Thx a bunch

 

Take the new locks to a locksmith and get them keyed to your original key.

 

Oh hmm, ok.

I was thinking can I do it myself ... yeah call me a cheap *** ... lol ... times are hard man

Anyway, Thx

 

I suppose you could do it yourself. I do not believe locksmiths have any tools that a mechanic would not have. However, the knowledge is what he/she has. I took apart a couple of door locks to clean them. Not too hard to do that but I have never attempted to rekey them.

 

Might want to purchase a complete used lock set.

 

mine started going out on me this winter the keys got so worn out nothign would open anymore unless you wiggled it for ever, i went on ebay and found an used oem set of locks and original keys in great shape for 24$ now i just gotta put them in lol the hard part ive been dreading for a while now

 

Just go a locksmith.
I took my ignition assy, both door and hatch locks in.
For $90 he rebuilt all four units and cut a new master key and two dupes.
One of the better investments I've made for my car.

 

Thats what Im thinking.

Not to mention, I kinda want to change the key code of the car ... nothing wrong with the original key code, just want to try something different.
