[Bricklin] Door latches hang up

[Rick at High Tech Coatings]

The factory solenoids draw a fair a mount of power and are just barely strong
enough, If your battery is not fully charged and "up to snuff" they will not
unlatch.If they worked before they are either dirty and dragging (from
sitting) or the battery is down on power or there is a wiring/ ground issue.
