Need help door won't unlock - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #88557 5 posts Started by AzNbOiFrM9i6
It's been cold here in sacramento lately, and every morning my driver side door wont unlock. I don't know whats causing this. Later in the day when it gets warm it'll unlock for some odd reason. Any help? could it be frozen?
hahaha yes, it's frozen. you're getting a taste of what we get in the northeast! I usually have to climb in through the passenger side, or the hatch, and open the door.
well this morning the door unlocked then it wouldn't close, then i got it to close when i was inside then i was locked inside. had to climb out of the passenger side. how can i stop this? I had to call in to work today because of this.
Oh, I don't know about that.
Lock de-icer as a temporary fix. Graphite or silicone lube applied to the various bits of the mechanism after you disassemble the door for a longer term fix.
