keyless entry / stuck door locks
as an aside to Mr. Pockets
I went for almost 7 1/2 years without using the key in the door, I always used the keyless entry. One day, suffering the second alternator failure in six months, I had to jump start the car and when I arrived at the repair shop, I hopped out of the car and without thinking, hit the remote lock buttom. The last milli-amp of power in the bottom of the car battery dutifully locked the doors. You can see this coming can't you? Sure enough, there was nothing left in the SVXs' battery to unlock the doors. Because I had not used the key in the lock in so long, they were frozen solid, it took me several hours and lots of WD40, graphite, cursing and frustration to get that lock to work with the key.
Just thought I'd let you know, heaven forbid you get into that situation............
