BigRig should have an extra.

It's not all about the production numbers. Lexus produced less than 12k IS-Fs and the car has far more aftermarket than the LS. My '14 is 1 of ~300.

I miss this forum. I haven't even qualified as a real member yet, over at ClubLexus. Need 30 posts :shifty:

What a transformation! Can't wait to see it dipped.

Update: Took out the lock cylinder, soaked it with brake cleaner and viola! Fixed. A lot of black gunk came out in the process. The cylinder itself was stuck inside the metal housing and could not turn, the pins were fine. Why haven't I done that sooner?

Lemforder.

Do you even research? http://lmgtfy.com/?q=lincoln+ls+option+packages

Lubed the lock cylinder, no dice. Also tried my spare key, no dice (verified it to work in ignition and door lock). Emergency trunk release also works fine. Time to bring the cylinder to a lock smith I guess.

Will do, thank you. Would white lithium suffice?

What could be the cause of this, aside from using a valet key? I don't recall having this problem, but recently found out neither of my keys open the trunk manually via the lock cylinder. Any troubleshooting I can do? I checked the service manual but there wasn't much in that regard IIRC.

Any pics of that new 535i?
