My daughter's '94 was having a problem with the trunk lock last weekend, she NEVER uses it but I wanted to show her how to lock it and disable the central-locking trunk lock.

The point being that lack of use is what I believe caused her problem.

The lock would not accept the key, maybe half-way.

Sprayed it (filled it) with PB-Blaster, went to dinner. Later I filled it again, worked the key until it went in, worked it for a while longer and it eventually turned (without forcing). After I had it turning fairly freely and ran the key in/out a few times, let it dry out some, and filled it with Mr. Moly Liquid Grease (my favorite lock lube), it works great now. I also treated her other locks including ignition, ... hoping it'll help in the future.
