My keyless entry doesn't work right now, so I'm old schooling it and locking/unlocking with the key and recently it's been getting super hard to lock the door from the outside. It'll lock with enough force (bent one of my keys and had bend it back), but its a slow lock, like trying to run in water. It also no longer triggers the lights to blink signaling that it's locked/makes the interior lights go off.

Any idea what might be causing this and/or how to fix it?
