    I have a 2010 tundra and my tail gate lock is seized. I took the lock out and tried W-D40. Worked on it for an hour. Just won’t unlock or lock. Does Toyota sell new locks that will fit my key

    Try penetrating oil instead of WD-40.

    ATF mixed with acetone 1:1 or brake fluid are both good

    Yes, one dissolves rust, WD is more of a water repellant substance
