Well back to solving my rear hatch lock problem. My ignition/door lock key fit well into rear hatch handle but didn't turn lock. I took lock assembly down to good locksmith today and he swore it was after market garage door type lock handle and it was a sealed unit that he couldn't open up to rekey to match my ignition. Having a lot of the history on this truck and it having low miles I was suprised to hear it had been changed out. He tried to sell me a couple of replacemnt handles none of which had the right mounting screw spacing and then suggested I needed to redrill mounting holes. NO WAY I told him. Then he finally said he could make a key to fit it but it wouldn't match. He told me if I could hit junkyards and get an "original" he could rekey that one to match. Well I left him the lock and he made a couple of "gas cap" or garage door style keys for it and charged me $9. I went home and reinstalled handle and was trying keys. The new ones didn't work real smooth but did the job. On a wild hair I matched the new key up to my ignition key and it wasn't too far off. I stuck in GM ignition key that fit like a glove before and WAH-LAH now it works. The lock must have been dirty.

Lesson learned. I am very happy now with one key and probably original locks all in good condition. This is the way it was intended. All these little things add up. NowI think I wil be yanking glove box insert and replacing high speed fan relay.
