Post power doors

When it gets cold my power doors start automatically locking and unlocking. What can I check myself and what questions do I ask before I pay someone for a lot of hours searching for the problem

are you sure it is not the moisture that is causing your doors to go nuts, i doubt that just cold air will do that, it is probably condensation that is shorting out some bare wire in there. Track the wires to thier source and begin your journey for any loose or baren wire.

Default Remote

Does it only do this when the remote is nearby?

It could be the button on your remote changing its sphysical charactoristics in cold weather.

Cool Thank you for advise

Thank you so much - I will check on the remote- which doesn't work anymore and trace the wires when I find a warm garage!
Thanks for the insight!

I have this problem in the cold.. I found out that when its cold one of the locks on the rear door does not lock properly. This then causes the door to lock and unlock over and over again.

Try a bit of penetration lubricant around the inside lock cluster
