My outside door locks on my 2000 Hyundai Elantra seem to be seizing up. The passenger side door lock won't work at all and the driver's side works only with a lot of effort. I sprayed white lithium grease into the door lock and took the key to try and loosen it up. Any ideas what the problem could be and how to inexpensively fix it?
