Default Central Locking Strange event

We went shopping a little while ago, wife went in I stayed in the car.

My arm hit the lock on the drivers door with key off and all doors shut. Of course all 5 doors locked. Tried to pull the pluger back up on drivers door and it would not budge.

Was able to pull up plungers on front pass door and the two rear seat doors. Drivers plunger would not budge. Rolled down the window, tried to unlock with key from the outside to no avail.

Wife loaded cart full of groceries bitching at me to help her. We got home, I had to climb over the center and out the passenger's door. Was able to use key on rear cargo door with no problem.

Grabbed the top of the plunger with a pair of lineman pliers and gently pulled up, it did unlock. So far so good. It was raining heavily, I think something may have gotten wet and malfunctioned.

Anyone ever experienced similar?

You'll be taking the driver's door apart to work on the lock parts, it will repeat with increasing frequency I bet. That lock gets more wear than any of the others.
