It’s not quite clear whether the new battery dies too. Very messy post.

comment How to lubricate automotive locks?
When I was looking for greaseless lubricants, I had noticed there are some that are silicon-based. Are those the ones you advise against, or did you just mean the general purpose lubricnats, and if it is greaseleses, than it is good regardless?

Are the household locks come lightly coated with grease just to protect from moisture in storage? How do I go about protecting automotive locks from moisture?

Did you try regular flat wrench? If it does not budge, I would spray the nut with the lubricant, let it sit for a few, then I would use regular flat wrench (possibly the six-sided one so as not to shear off the corners), and use a pipe on the other end for extended leverage. You might have to tap on it vigorously to get it moving at first.
