Vin, you sure its not the cold? (Wasn't it unusually cold in GA the last day or two?). Years ago, before I had a garage, my '89 GT locks would sometimes freeze in the morning in very cold weather but would work fine later in the day when it was warmer.

Yes that is so true Z it didn't open when it was cold this morning, the lowest was 11 degrees this morning, then when I got off of work it was a little warmer so it opened just fine, so my lock will still freeze up even if I install the new actuators?
