The holes in the front doors have notches cut in them for the tabs on the lock cylinder to fit into. That is what keeps them from turning when you turn the key to unlock the door. Maybe the hole in the 3rd door doesn't have the notches and the cylinder turned in the hole.

I'm sure I have a cylinder that your ignition key will fit into and if you send me a key I can re-key it to match your doors and ignition. I would run about $15 for the lock and re-keying it.

Notice anything different??? Yes...there are keys hanging from a WORKING 3rd door lock cylinder! Shout out to LockDoc...thanks Leon! Installation wasn't too difficult to figure out even though I've never done it before...and the PO did a real nice job cutting the notches that locked the barrel into place, so the only adjustments I needed was to the cylinder engagement arm...a little too short. A couple of bends in the right direction was all it took! A big part of this fix was following the lubrication suggestions members passed along my way, so that when it all went together, nothing was hanging up. Thanks to all!

Hey! Glad to see you got it installed and working.

Glad I could help out.
