Key works in Ignition but not door?

So I found out the hard way that my key only works in my ignition and not my door. My keyfob has been the only way I've locked/unlocked my doors until recently so I didn't realize this.

The strange thing is the key turns in the door, as a working key would, but nothing happens...

I bought the truck (2014 Tundra Crewmax Ltd.) used about a year ago.

Any ideas? Could the mechanism that locks/unlocks be disconnected form the cylinder or would I need to get everything rekeyed?

 

Did you replace your door handles with color matched

 

I did not, they're the factory silver still, obviously anything could've occurred before I purchased it though.

 

Same thing happened to my tail gate after about 9 yrs

 

pull the keyhole cylinder off like if u were replacing the handles. see if the key spins the shaft while in your hands

 

Doing this doesn’t change the lock mechanism.

 

no it doesn't but if it was removed and the shaft was not aligned correctly it wont lock or unlock the doors.

another test is opening the windows via the key

 

I had a similar issue and was able to remediate it by removing the cylinder and adjusting it. Hopefully it’s as simple
for you....follow the instructions in the mod to remove the handle.
