99 corlla 1.3 basically the key will not lock or unlock the drivers door every thing in the door is connected ,the car does not have remote central locking . what would be the most probable cause and how to check . thanks in advance

Does key turn at all?
If not some sprays with Wd40 or similar should sort it.

You can still lock it using the knob in the door?
Next step, unless that's what you did already is to remove door card and check that everything is indeed connected.
Try googling removal of the door card and some vids should show.

Sorry this is probably where you have to take it to someone who can have a look at it first-hand.
