Door lock actuators - common problem?
I searched and found references about the actuators but I am wondering if anyone has had this scenario. The power locks work great in warm weather but when it gets cold (Midwest winters) they stop working with a fob altogether and even using a key are extremely hard and sometimes impossible to turn. The doors and back hatch are the same - perfect in the summer, no worky in cold. I am willing to buy a couple actuators for the front or maybe but am wondering if I just unhook them will it make the lock turn easier?
