Hi all,
I know this has come up before, but couldn't find anything in the search about it. My driver's door latch freezes up in cold weather. It froze up Sunday and when it does, the central locking system won't let the other doors unlock. The locks come up, then go right back down again. I played with the locking mechanism until I was able to get in through the front passenger door, take off the upper inner door panel (with the door closed) on the driver's door and push the latch lever down to open the driver's door. This is at least the third time I have had to do this and wonder if anyone has a permanent solution to this problem. Last time I had the problem I lubricated the lock mechanism with lithium grease, but now with the cold weather, the problem has returned. One other thing, is I washed the car Saturday, then we had freezing weather overnight. I don't know if there is something that is actually freezing in there, but would appreciate any suggestions.
