	spray some lube in to the lock and work it. Might have to take the door panel off and check the linkage or spray it all as well.

	DONT USE SPRAY LUBE. USE POWDERED GRAPHITE LUBRICANT. COMES IN A SMALL TUBE. SPRAY LUBE WILL EVENTUALLY COLLECT MORE DUST/DIRT AND YOU'LL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN.

	DO NOT use WD-40. As the locks wear, the anodizing on the aluminum wears away, and WD-40 will eat into the metal of the lock.
