Electrical problem
1999 Toyota Corolla 4 cyl 89,000 miles

I came back to my car today at a commuter lot to realize that it had been broken into. At first, I only thought that my head unit had been stolen, I knew that I could easily replace that. However, the passenger side door lock had been busted as well, so that with the turn of a screwdriver it can be opened. How much will it cost to replace this lock? It is a manual lock.

You can buy new handles with locks, but since your old lock is broken the new one would have to keyed to operate with the original key.
Toyota could do this, or you may find a locksmith.
I would ask my insurance company if this is covered under comprehensive coverage.

The interior door panel would have to be removed.
