97 Q45... strange problem. Was hoping it was common thus giving a common solution. Not seeming to be the case, here it goes...
Seems like it's been happening since last winter. I'm here in Vegas, so we don't get much wet weather, however, when it does manage to drizzle, my key will not work opening the locks to my doors manually. I bought my car with one key (Still in good shape) with no remote. As soon as it warms up and dries up a bit, the locks seem to come back and work great. The locks don't need to be wet though, as it sometimes happens in cold humidity. Usually my driver side door is the first to react and will not budge, leaving me trying to get in through the passenger side. On occasion, and this morning in particular, neither side will budge, leaving me locked out of my car. You can see how this could be a bit inconvenient?
Anyone ever experience the same thing and/or have any ideas at attempts to try and solve this riddle? At times, I'm afraid to lock my doors for fear of being stranded somewhere, but stereos, CDs and other personal belongings have a way of disappearing.
Any assistance is appreciated.
