I went out this morning 26 degrees and the driver door lock doesn't work with the key fob or the console button. The door unlocks with key, the other 3 unlock fine.
I think this should be an easy fix, right?

No DIY write up with pictures, but I spent sometime on search button here and found someone do step-by-step. Now I can't even locate that thread.
What I did was to pry open a black oval plastic cover on the driver side door, it's hard so use small regular scredriver, shine flash light in there to see where you want to spray WD40/PB-blaster ect, use the long straw to make sure you spray only the door actuator. I just don;t like to spray indiscriminately in there. That 'll coat the metal parts so when moisture freeze over it won't make them stuck together. Hope that helps a little.
