searched but they were all winter related problems,

so I finally sprayed the final 4 gallons of PB Blaster into my door lock mechs and got them moving fine with the power switches, now the lock cylinder won't budge, is this fixable or should I just replace all three locks and be done with it....I lose keys so having one for the door and another for the ignition is gonna be tricky

TIA

Get some "breakfree" or some graphite spray lube from walmart before you go replacing them. Breakfree is a gun cleaner and lubricant that I have around usually and works well on locks. Otherwise any parts store will have the other.
 
Wolfpackjeeper's temp fix may help, but your locks are probably just plain worn out. Most locksmith's will rebuild them for a reasonable fee.
