Just another tidbit that I have had to do to my ol ram. The outside door handles are plastic. The hinge point on the actual handle is a metal pin...which will corrode. This makes the handle sticky and would make one think that linkage or latch is binding inside the door and needs lubed..when it is the outside handle itself. Using care this small metal pin can be driven out...cleaned of rust..lubed and reinstalled.

Wht type of penetrant did you use? 3in1 penetrant? WD-40? 3in1 makes a great penetrant that will free up locks. WD-40 though, makes a great cutting oil. You don't want to use that on your locks as it will cause the key to cut away at the tumblers. The 3in1 will replace water so the lock doesn't freeze but will lubricate rather than cut the tumblers.
