im pissed. I cant get into my celica. I have a 94 ST coupe. I have manual door and windows so i cant get in without opening the door without the key. I cant get in its frozen. I bought de-icer (WD-40). and the lock is turning 1-2 way. When i look inside at the door latch its opening and locking but opening 1/2 way. I tried the same with the trunk. Ive gotten into the trunk but i cant get into the passenger compartment. How do i get into the car?? is it possible to get into the car through the trunk, how do i pull the seats down from the trunk??

I got it, I took a hairdryer as i was told to and heated up the hole. I got the key in and the lock only opened 1/2 way. After 3-4 minutes of heating the hole i got the idea of heating the area where the latch was from the outside. I stuck the key in and giggled it open and closed for a while and finally it popped. When it gets a little warmer im gonna check if something is wrong with the springs or the lock assymbly. Thanks for all your imput.
