Broken tailgate lock

Does anyone have a part number for the tailgate lock on a 2014 F-150 XLT? Mine is seized up.

Also - has anyone tried the aftermarket power tailgate locks??

Get a spray can of penetrant like liquid wrench or similar and saturate the lock cylinder. Chances are good it'll free up the tumblers so your key will work again. (Most exterior lock cylinders have a spring loaded protective door) Most penetrants and spray lubes come with a straw to concentrate the spray. Use it to open the door.

Follow up after with a silicone based spray lube.
