Re: Door Lock Issue

When just the remote is used to unlock the doors for long periods, the keyed lock can get stuck, from lack of use, spray a little graphite into the locks, and keep working it with the key, it should loosen up with some work.....if not next step would be remove the door panel and make sure all the lock rods are good, and functioning, then you could take the lock cylinder out and let it soak in some cleaner....but be sure to put a little graphite back in it when you get it all working, to help keep it lubed..
