Headlight and Door Lock
Hi, recently i've had two very minor problems with my car.
1. the headlights don't pop out the first time i turn them on, I have to turn them off and then on again, and most of the time this works. Not too big of a deal because it's not driven at night or in the rain.
2. the passenger door lock doesn't unlock the first time you hit the button, sometimes it takes hitting it several times. This is for the keyless entry as well as the button on the door.
Both sound like motor issues but i'm confused as to why it would work sometimes and not others. I did search and most topics are about these things just not working.
Anyone got any ideas?

On the door locks, some cars have some insulation which drops into/onto the electronic portion of the lock. If no other options, you might have to take door apart to clean it.
In regard to headlight, did you check resevoir for the lights. If the fluid is low, headlights will not always work. Just kidding re headlights. Door locks sometimes have a problem because of (tar??) insulation on other amer cars.
