C5 door lock problem
I have a 2000 corvette and the other day I went to unlock the door with the key and the key twists both ways with no resistance. It won't lock or unlock. Does this sound like a door lock problem or an electronic problem? Also I don't have the keyless remote for the car. If I buy a keyless remote will I be able to program it to work for this car? And will it unlock the doors even though the lock itself isn't working? Any help I can get will be greatly appreciated.

Not at home now but if you want a good link on how to remove the door panels without screwing them up let me know.
Even if you take it to someone else to fix I would recommend you remove the panel yourself and reinstall it afterwards.
