2000 XJ 4-door. The key won't work, the driver's master lock/unlock won't work....and the handle seems to be OK. Feel like an idiot...please send suggestions if you know the trick. Thanks!

OK it seems my A/C clutch bearing froze and burned and then threw off the belt. (OK, you can smack me up side my head, because it has been making a screeching noise for a few days, but the compressor was still working.) I don't have the three plus bills to replace the compressor, etc., etc. I...
