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

 

the hot water is freezing too, get some lock de-icer and shoot some in there.

 

Didn't you realize that hot water turns cold and freezes in the cold. Just get some lock de-icer, its only $2 for a little canister you can keep in your pocket.

 

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