Exclamation Possibly a big problem?

Okay so just a couple of days ago my car decided that it was no longer going to unlock the passenger door no matter what. The key fob, no, the interior power locks, nothing, even trying to unlock it with my fingers, nada... The lock is almost frozen shut locked up and sealed. My girlfriend has to climb in grand theft auto style to get in the passenger seat. Pain in the ***.. So I ask of all you if you know how to fix this PLEASE! help me out, I'm leaving for South Carolina tomorrow and would rather not have a frozen passenger door. Thanks!

I would bet your going to end up removing the door panel and applying a penetrating oil to the seized up moving parts.

Additionally we all need to apply a graphite lubricant into the key cylinders every now and again and use the key to insure the key cylinders do not dry out and seize up so they are functional should you ever need them.
