Door lock problem
Hello Everybody
My drivers side door lock has been becoming hard to open. It used to be very crisp & now I have to wiggle the key in order to be able to unlock the door. Look at the attached video. What is the fix?

If you have a 2000-2004, the passenger side has no exterior lock. The only way that side gets much "exercise" is thru the FOB. My .02. I do support using the key occasionally. In the salt belt, a little lube, and occasional key insertion, will keep the insides working. I've heard stories of the mechanisms seizing up from non use, especially the trunks/tailgates, which the C5s dont have, of course.......
