Stuck lock
My passenger front door won't unlock all of a sudden. With the electric lock it won't click over all the way, and using the key, it turns but it stops right before it would normally unlock and binds up. Any ideas on what the problem is and how do I get in there to open/unlock it?

On mine, I took the door apart and used white lithium grease on all the moving parts. No problems until last week.
So I got 3 years in Texas and Virginia heat, humidity and dust out of it.
If you can't be good, be good at it!

I got it. I used some finesse and some muscle and got it to unlock with the key. Then I took the door cover off and sprayed all the moving parts with PB Blaster, and then grease. Did about 50 lock/unlock cycles with the key and then another 50 with the electric lock and it worked every time, so hopefully that's the end of that for a while!
