Try some of that liquid graphite stuff or some graphite grease, this is what I have used on my 64 falcon in the past and it worked great.

My 98 is a royal pain in the rear-end.

I've never found anything other than a little silicone to
help them work properly. Even that is iffy.

I'd strat with some WD40 to loosen everything up.

The problem will probably return. At that time you should add more lube.

Graphite powder works wonders on lock tumblers.

I prefer the keyless entry, and in fact, the keypad is the best!
