EnglishElectric Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 The drivers door on my focus seems not to like the cold snap we're having. It seems that when the temp is below 4 degrees the wing mirror and central locking stops working. Once the car has warmed up they work again. Anyone else have some little niggles like this in the winter? Alastair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 sounds like water ingress somewhere on the door, might be worth spraying the lock, and the joints generously with WD40 or another silicone based product to eject any moisture that has built up?

artscot79 Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 My mk1 would do that for that you take the top screw out of the door lock spray wd40 in a downwards angle 45degrees replace screw and solved my issue as for mk2 not had any issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aldoo Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 my passenger door froze the other week. not the central locking, but the latch didnt even shut the door, it just bounced back. spray of WD40 and a concoction of other spray lubes in the garage sorted it! ..now my biggest problem seems to be the windscreen washer freezing!
