Spray a shot of WD40 in it.
Spray some alcohol in it.
I experimented with -20 washer fluid today and it worked. The door latches were initially frozen this morning (1 wouldn't open and 2 others opened but wouldn't latch shut, drivers door was ok). I put washer fluid in a spray bottle and doused each latch generously with the truck running and the heat blasting. About 25 minuets later they all functioned properly. Temperatures reached a high 13 today. It's currently 5 now at 2011hr and the doors are working. I've doused the latches periodically throughout the day. The final test will be to see if all doors are operational in the morning. Hopes this helps my fellow F-150 owners until ford comes up with a permanent solution.

Penetrating oil should work fine and not get washed away.
Spray a shot of WD40 or alcohol in it.
See a mechanic
You can by an anti freeze for locks. Its squirted into or injected into lock mechanism. It forms a sort off gel coating within mechanism stopping ice crystals forming but without damaging lock itself. Otherwise a shot of WD 40 and a warm key. Will often work.

- Yellow/Constant power wire on my 93 tempo is not working, solution? I Just recently installed a new deck in my 93 ford tempo and it wouldnt turn on with the yellow wire connected, so we instead connected it with he red wire and that worked but the deck will no keep it's memory now, I'm not entirely sure if I'm giving enough information but feel free to ask me questions, thanks for the help! Not only down the memory not stay, but it very often shows an error alert and stops working completely and i have to reset the deck
- How ridiculous is it of Christine Ford to make the US Senate wait while she drives from California to Washington DC? Because she doesn't like to fly? Especially when the senate offered to let her testify in California? How could anyone claim this whole thing is not a stall tactic?
