[s-cars] Door Lock/IR interaction. Does this make sense?

[Bob Frizzell]

Mark,
Don't worry, I'll be ok  Maybe the Australians can keep their foot twirling
clockwise but I'm having a hell of a time.  On a more serious note, is there
no one out there with experience fixing these damn IR locks?  I can't for
the life of me get my driver's side to work now.  It seems to be of a
problem other than simply screwed up by the fluorescent lights.
Bob, locked out in Edmonton.

Dave, other S-men,
I did the same, freed mine up with some WD40.  Now one side (passenger) is
working. Is there a separate fuse/breaker for each side? Anybody know before
I dig out the wiring diagrams?
Also, I want you S-men to try this:
Swing your right foot in a clockwise direction, then with your right hand
draw the number 6 in the air.  Did you keep your right foot going clockwise?
You better work on it.
Bob, trying to train my right foot in Edmonton.
