: I've got an alarm on my car with remote trunk release.. I'll use my key in the trunk about once a year. when I do, the lock is inevitably frozen and I have to open the driver door and push the button.

: to fix it, I removed the lock and sprayed some WD-40 in it and let it sock for about 15-20 minutes.. then I jsut stuck the key in it and played with it until it broke free and started working. then spray again with WD-40 and reinstall.

: it's a pain in the butt, but it worked.
