[s-cars] sticky locks

[Harold McComas]

A couple of months ago I realized that I have not used the door locks in 
almost a year. Just in case my remote unlock battery died sometime I tried 
the driver's side lock, it would not turn. It too had gotten harder to turn 
since the last time I tried. I gave it a few shots of WD-40 and all is well. 
Something must have gummed it up. Try that.

I moved on to the passenger side lock and I cannot even get the key in half 
way, WTF ?? Tried pushing the flap aside and looking in the keyhole, cannot 
tell what is stopping the key from going in all the way. I tried centering 
the two pins in the lock that go  into the center of the key and still no 
luck. I left it alone and will probably investigate further in the 
springtime. Any tips from fellow listers?
