A photo is worth a thousand words.

Upload a photo so we can see what you are talking about. However if the window won't drop it could be a dead switch or the motor is dead.

I did my brakes and spent a bit of time using a drill and a brass wire brush to clean them up. It takes years for them to rust.

Sounds like the front spare has come loose. Have you checked its secure? :p

Does it happen when you accelerate, brake, turn, hit bumps or just when the car is idling? Could be a control arm?

The failure to unlock or lock is the first sign of the door lock mechanisms dying. Get it replaced now as you don't want it to fail while locked.
