Assembling and Coding IP Storage Compartment Lock Cylinder

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Pontiac Aztek and 2004 Buick Rendezvous. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The IP storage compartment lock uses five tumbler positions 7-10. The IP storage compartment lock cylinder also uses a retainer tumbler. The retainer tumbler is not moved by the key. The purpose of the retainer tumbler is to retain the lock cylinder in the lock. The retainer tumbler occupies the slot closest to the head of the IP storage compartment lock cylinder and should come already installed in the cylinder.
