GAS DOOR LOCK FROZEN--had trouble with locking gas cap DOOR. No key I had would work. Solution ?Sprayed brake kleen into lock opening using the small spray tube .Opened easly,then sprayed lock barrel sparingly to clean out lock mechanism. After drying, sprayed lock in and out with dry lube . Works like new ! P.S ,TRY everything before trying to break door open or destroying lock ( expensive to replace) Hope ths helps someone. Any problems with power steering hoses leaking ? I have a solution. Done by my GREAT mechanic in Tucson AZ.

 

Good info. Thanks for the tip. I'll be replacing the rack and pinion soon and might have questions.
