Hi guys,
Need some advice please, getting back into camping after a few years absence. My daughter has autism and is sectioned under the mental health act, due to self harm and so it has been the worst year of my entire life and things continue to deteriorate. To try and have something else in my life (had a breakdown so can't work at the mo) we decided to get back into camping (on the tightest budget imagineable) and picked up an erde 122 trailer to put all the bits needed in, however now discovered I need to replace light cluster (trailer came with a spare to swap over) but the trailer is 13 years old and my addled brain won't let me work out his to do it, have taken the cover off but all the wires look very confusing! Also trailer had the hard lockable lid, the key turns one if the locks but not the other, that one is stuck in the open position. I have drenched it in wd40 but it ain't nudging. Does anyone have any tips for getting a seized lock to work?
Thanks for reading
Lisa

Wd 40 is a lubricant you need some 3 in one oil or wd40 penetrant oil for seized nuts and bolts..click

I'd be trying plus gas rather than wd40.

Have a close look at the front of the locks, if there is a number on the face of the lock make sure they are the same, if not its a different key.
If so take the number of the stuck lock to a locksmiths shop and he will sell you a key for a app £2.50
If this is not the problem you can replace the lock, sold over the counter in places like
screwfix for app £4.50
