Cold weather door lock issues

Has anyone had issues with their door locks when it turned cold? It turned butt cold here and the key fob will neither lock or unlock. The little key will work, the fob works in the ignition.

Hi, Tommy. I've never had that particular problem. The only thing I've noticed about the doors in icy conditions is that the window retract doesn't work when you release the latch, due to ice at the bottom edge of the glass. The window kind of scrapes out of its seal when you pull the door open, but it doesn't seem to hurt anything. But sorry, that didn't answer your question...

You might need to change the battery in the key fob if you don't have the kind that recharges. I think it's for the ones pre-LCI
