Default Door lock

Hey everyone, this morning i walked out to my truck and unlocked it with my key-less pad, got into my truck and noticed that my passenger door didn't unlock so i tried unlocking it with the Unlock button on the door( driver and passenger) and nothing happened. Does anyone know what could be causing this?

Also yesterday it was 35 degrees out so i washed my truck and overnight it dropped to under 20 degrees, could there have been water that got in there and froze and locked up everything

Thanks

Probably just some frozen condensation then.

squirt some silicone spray in the lock cylinders so if you have to use your keys (old school i know) you won't have any trouble opening your doors manually if they are prone to freezing

Default Re: Door lock

Little connector arm from solenoid might have been frozen (or the solenoid) from the washing, and after warmup it melted. Door linkages are interesting in my opinion ever since I worked in a lock shop, and dug around inside lots of doors.
