Is there any way to repair a key switch and a door lock (jammed up) from someone using a screw driver to unlock the steering wheel?
Before anyone says to buy new ones I refuse to buy Chinese locks and key switch. They don't last very long and I would like to keep the originals on my Charger.
 
I suppose it depends how jammed up they are. Those are just pot metal and can't take a lot of abuse. If you have another original set, and they are not worn out, you can take them apart and swap the pins from yours into the new body. But to save the hassle I got locks from ThomasJSestack auto parts on fleabay. His stuff is good and occasionally sells NOS.
 
If you can make it to one of the big mopar swap meets, you'll be sure to find a eom piece there. One option that could hold you over is just take the pins out of the ignition switch so you can start it with a partially inserted key. then wire up a simple kill switch for the time being.

Oh, and try ebay.
