when you talk of the actuator, you're meaning the solenoid linear actuator that disengages the door lock ?

why do the windows become frozen, what if the window channels have fresh silicon lube ?

and why not if they key cylinder is frozen just spray some brake clean, acetone's freeze point is 95 degrees less than water.
