Locks are prone to jamming and corroding. Might just need stripping down, cleaning up and greasing.

I'd also check the wiring in the boots next to the hinges, common for them to break here

If screen wash doesn't work then chances are your washer pipe has popped off and leaked causing the microswitch to break.
