spilled coke on automatic door locks, now they stick. HELP?

Answer:

use a damp cloth if it's down in there farther than sparingly used electrical contact cleaner but use carefully as it may discolor of faded depending on the material around the switches
if you mean the electrical lock button then simpily spray with electrical contact cleaning solution realy good and work the buttons untill they dont stick anymore but make sure u put tape around the cloth of the door if any so not to mess it up if u know what i mean
as a results of fact the final proprietor riveted the door panel and not employing pins. that would or is probably not your project. If not my guess is what they call a actuate and somewhat it acts like a plunger. positioned your key in turn and it comes up and unlockes. Have a restore save look at and if it does choose one. those suckers are very high priced. right here the place i stay at 260 somewhat. flow to a junk backyard right here the place i stay at are you waiting for this approximately 11 somewhat.
My first thought would be to spray a silicone based product into the lock to lubricate the locks, but that also may not be the best idea. Perhaps when the liquid (Coke) completely dries, the stickiness will eventually wear off. Good luck with that. Maybe changing the rules about food and drinks in the car may need to be ammended in your household.
Carefully take the door apart. The rods and the pivot point, if you have one, that connects another rod to the servo, you need to clean. You should be able to visibly see the sugary substance known as dried coke. WD-40 it or use water. If you boil water, and spray it from a squirt bottle, in a mist, this often gets into crevases that you really couldnt get a Q-Tip into or rag, and will help dissolve some of the dried sugar. Did you Spill it on the locks? or did you Pour it down the locks? This advice is assuming that you mean the auto-knob for your locks, located at the top edge of your door.
