Tried that a few times as well, it drives me insane lol. In the winter it seemed like it was each night that hit 30 or lower it locked up again, but now it is literally every day I get in it is locked. The nice thing is that it isn't fully seized so I can generally kick it pretty hard and get it to loosen, though some days I still need to use the hammer.
The weirdest thing about all of this, is that I haven't had the fuse in for a few months now - this is happening daily (re-engaging and releasing) while the fuse isn't even in. It doesn't make ANY sense (I have a degree in electrical and computer engineering, so I know how absolutely no sense this makes)
At this point I'm probably going to put the fuse in, let it lock, free it up, bang it a few more times, pull the fuse and then cut the brown wire and see if anything changes. Honestly, the Z has completely gone to **** since December for me. In December my CSC failed on the road and needed that replaced, then a week later the steering wheel locked up, then my driver side lock mechanism stopped working so I can only unlock/lock with the physical key, and then my passenger lock started the same thing so now neither door locks/unlocks electronically anymore.
Then, for good measure, some guy wanted to race on the highway and I'm not about that, so he proceeded to get pissed off and cut me off before dropping a gear and spinning his wheels which kicked up a big stone and broke my windshield nicely to the point where I need to replace it now.
Been a super bad past few months with this car, she's lucky she's fun to drive when she actually works >.>
