I remember reading a tip about removing broken keys years ago. Something about attaching one end of a wire to the positive battery terminal and the other to a pin. Then carefully touch the end of the pin to the back of the stuck key. When it touches, the arc will stick it to the key enabling you to remove it. Never tried it but sounds good....................

Sounds like something to try...

Dangerous.

They don't call it the poor man's arc welder for nothing.

Its not a mitsu powerplant.

My driverside lock on mine is on the verge of dying. Have to hose it down with oil every couple weeks just so I can get the key in. Going to have to pull it and have a locksmith rebuild it at some point.
