winter and key lock.. strange...
Hi every one..
Looks like I get some of peculiar problems one can come across...
I have 93 SE with 80K miles.. So far running really well..
I live in michigan..(cold... Ohhh)
I was sick of seeing my dirty car.. So I washed it myself last week by spraying water on a cold saturday..
After ward I can unlock my car with key..there seems to some thing and key doesn't move smoothly as it used to..
So I come up with an idea... to spray hot water.. I spray hot water 2 or 3 times.. then I can unlock the car with ease...
Then I drive the car for a while 5 - 10 minutes. Again the same problem shows up... Then I use the hot water .. then I unlock..
Then I thought some lubrication is required.. so I put some grease on the key and unlock lock many times..
But still doesn't help...
Any suggestions.... thanks

yeah I already said that, more politely about 9 hours ago
