- some of the newer F250 350s 450s only use half of the kit so be aware of that basically you're just resealing the handle the corners of the door on the top and around the plastic strip on the window and then putting everything back together

My 2020 F150 Supercrew has this issue. My dealer told me that this is likely a "one of" situation. Mean time, the mechanic that is talking to me, lets me know of past door issues. Then I found your video. I'm struggling to not drive this truck through the showroom.
This is excellent information this is a well-done video that gives you all the pointers and explains all the problems, after driving a $60,000 vehicle that I need to open from the pasture side reach across with a client of a hammer to open my driver's door I'm about to drive this thing through a dealership, this should alleviate the problems I'll be tearing it apart this weekend, once again thank you for the excellent video, and description.
Had my ‘17 f350 done 4 times. Still freezes. I cary a Honda generator and a hair dryer in my back seat from November till April. 70K for a truck that can only be driven 6 months a year without problems. Super fun.
I told them several times to let me come up with a technical service bulletin to fix this issue and they will not listen to me because I've done it several times and the customers don't come back after I do it but I did it my way and they will not even entertain letting me do this my way
I just got tired of taking it in
@@daves8098 the main focus needs to be right around those door handles where they seal in the opening of the door
that's so funny, I'm doing the same thing.....I carry a heat gun and extension cord since I have a power inverter in my truck, just two minutes with the heat gun and I'm on my way, this is not to let Ford off the hook, shame on them, I bought a XLT $60,000 and have to carry a heat gun just to drive off on cold weather days is bullshit.
Papo, I completely agree. Still have that truck. I just can’t bring myself to buy a new one yet, so the hair dryer thing is my only option.
I have a 2021 and its doing it when the temps are in the teens. Today it was 27 and it worked fine.
1st winter with mine. We're at -5° with -20 wind-chill a d I'm dealing with it big time on my driver door. Sprayed some PB blaster in there and it helped after things warmed up but when it gets this cold there's nothing I can do. Pretty pissed cuz dealerships are booked until February. 2 months smh.
great job i just had mine done 3 weeks ago at dealer they work great now
Did ford cover it ?
@@grapesodapopinski571there were some customers who were given $400 for their fix. Unbelievable, if your pops open while you're driving someone could get seriously hurt or way worse. You'd think Ford would want this fixed immediately!
Thanks brutha! Just happened to me today..driver side and back driver side… 2017 F250 6.7 platty
Glad I could help
I have a 2018 F150 Crew Cab. This winter is the first time I've had issues with my locks freezing. I was unaware of a recall. My truck doubles as an emergency medical response vehicle and my response time is greatly effected when doors will not latch after opening. Once my cab warms up my door latches operate normally.
Thank you for the awesome video. I have a 2021 Super Duty that I have been experiencing this issue from almost day one. Do you have any suggestions on dealing with the service department to get this fixed under warranty? They said they have no history of this issue and can only offer $159 evaluation fee to try to diagnose the problem. They also said there are no current recalls or customer satisfaction programs on my truck. Thank you in advance for any suggestion and help.
I have a 2018 f150 crew cab. Same freezing issue. I covered my driver side door with plastic wrap that went around an partially inside the truck. This although a pain prevented the lock from freezing but the door still wouldn’t close until I warmed up the inside of my truck. How is that possible? Thanks for sharing your video.
Thank you i was able to show the dealership
I hope it helped them
I just bought a 2018 f150 2.7 stx 4x4 package...2 days after sale when to start my truck...the driver door did not look due to being 1 degrees F outside..i live in one of the northeast states...Had to wait 25min till truck interior got toasty...Than it closed...3rd day did same thing....call dealer for recall made appointment 2wks from now...that's all they had...But found a quick fix used WD-40 Bike Lube Wd40 Specialist Silicone....just spray it in the door latch....worked beautifully....4 day had NO problem....
Very good
I've got a 2017 and my doors are freezing for the third year in a row. Bought it used. I plan on putting silicone Caulker on the door handle from the outside to completely seal it. But the other issue is the way the door handles designed snow and ice build up on top of it because it sticks out so far and then water runs down in the door handle
So update its end of Jan. It rained then snowed twice and now its single digits. Driver door froze bad. I sprayed the handle thru the hole that exposes the mounting bolt and it still crunches with ice. And it wont unlock. Push the unlock button and the rod goes up about half way and right back down. And the door wont latch. I installed block off plates with sound deadener where the clear dust shield goes to help with my speakers so i dont want to take it in to have the recall done. I screwed and siliconed them on because water was getting in the truck after the oem butyl let go on the oem clear plaster shield.
I had the recall done two years ago on a 16 f150. Back at the shop today for the same issues
They just need to silicone those door handles to the door completely instead of using Foam
@@FordBossMe wish you worked at my dealer!
Hi Tom, My wife drives a 2016 F150 here in Michigan just north of Detroit. She parks the truck outside in winter. Is her truck on a recall for that year?
@@lostinmyspace4910 most likely. Do the door latches not work in the winter sometimes? They seemed to have fixed my issues. My tailgate wouldn't unlock and my doors wouldn't latch shut
@@tom00025 Hi Tom, So far, she's not had a problem with door latches getting stuck or popping open, thank goodness. But in the future she might. I should check today because we had good rain over a week ago, then that winter blast with below temps and 4 inches snow.
It sure isn't funny when you have to go to work at 5 am and its10 degrees out and you cant shut the effin door because the latch is frozen. Three times to the dealer and it still going with my 18 f150. Although lately its been working great.....as its 80 degrees out! Seriously, 5 years of this cab and this crap is still happening ! 40 plus thousand dollar trucks and they cant a door latch to work!
Good info
My 2018 Raotor froze a few times. Dealer "fixed" them it still froze. Dealer "fixed them again. Froze again. Weather warmed up and they did not freeze again, but winter comes again.... I think they did not follow the service procedure. May have another dealer check it.
Thanks for the informative video. Any idea if they improved or corrected this issue for 2020s?
On the END OF 2019 and above the beefed everything up, more water shields from Factory the rubber on the end of the door lock cable and it's still so NEW we are waiting to see what happens
Honestly it seems as if there are still some issues but we shall see
Mine were fixed 4 times still not working. I opened up the panels and sprayed gun oil works like a charm.
2018 f150 took it for the recall and again later and still door's freezing. Ugh
I have a 2020 F350 and it's happening to my driver side door pain in the ass with this.
I have a 2020 and the dealers said that there are no known issues with my model year. He said he can get me in in 4 weeks $200.00 diagnose fee. So I asked what happens when they bring it in and it’s 50 degs out and the lock works perfectly? He wouldn’t give me an answer. Have you noticed any 2020/21/22 having issues? Thanks for the video.
Has there been a service advisory for the 2020 and up SD's? My truck had a frozen door, would open with the code or fob but I was able to get in and open the door from the inside. Is this the same problem?
How do I make sure my Ford dealer does the repair like you do you did a great job.
They're going to do their publication the way it says I just add a little bit extra to it because I feel like it works better but you are not going to know you just going to have to let them do it the way the manufacturer says
@@FordBossMe where are you located?
I have a 2017 xlt crew cab 4 door and the body shop did some work on it now my left rear door won’t unlock. The actuator try’s to unlock it but it’s like it’s in a bind cause I can’t manually pull the door lock up either. Would you happen to know what’s wrong with it or what to look at. I want to take it apart and fix it myself rather than the body shop do it and keep my truck another month.
Thank you sir
Welcome
My '18 F-150 supposedly has the "recall" work performed and my door latches continue to freeze. It's maddening. I use the key to unlock it if the remote doesn't pop the locks, then I cycle the lock and inside door handle until the lock work and the doors close. They say the recall work is done but I'm not a believer. They tell me the recall work can be repeated for the life of the truck, that it's not a one-time repair.
You're lucky. I had the recall work done and now it is much much worse. I cannot unlock the doors with the key or fob. Have to wait for the sun to come out and thaw out the door to unlock.
It is maddening! I’m just thinking of if I had an actual emergency, then wth?!!
I’m going to try removing the inner door window seals and all the drain plugs. Then at least when it’s warming up inside some of the air will blow down through the inside of the door and heat it up. Should keep it dryer in there too. I’ll post an update after it freezes again.
@@nwhuckin7761 My `18 f150 (doesn`t deserve capitol letter) froze this a.m. Ran heater thru center dash vents 10 min, and it thawed (20* F). I`m thinking of cutting a hole in the door panel by the dash vent so warm air will circulate and dry the pos. I`m forced to look for a chevy or dodge replacement. eeewwww
Going in next week for the forth time for rear passenger and now front passenger is acting up again.
My 2021 does this when its really cold. Sometimes even after it is warmed up I can't get out. I am going to fix it with a RAM.
Bad move with ram
I was thinking the same thing!!
Is a actual recall or just a tsb?
My 2019 f50 was made in after the dates for this issue. However I have some white pieces of sealant material sticking out from under my door handle. Any idea if that needs to be addressed to prevent this?
Can you email me a picture of it? poissorichard.rp@gmail.com
EMAILED - yeah thats not normal and needs fixed
I have an 18 F150 and I had this recall done but now the door lock rod knob on the driver side is sunk down into the door when you lock the door. It’s also much louder than the passenger side when locking and unlocking. Any ideas as to why?
Yeah they probably didn't put the rod in right or the little cap that screws onto the rod the threads are stripped so it went too far and didn't stop and kept screwing on to the rod further
The tech forgot to install the locking rod back onto the door handle. That rod is only found on the LF driver door only.
My 2020 F150 with 3000 miles, first winter, is experiencing this issue. Going in this week for a fix but I have no idea what they will actually do to it....
They are going to pull your doors apart and grease and seal specific areas
Where did you get the replacement parts for the door?
Ford Dealer Here Where I Work lol
Can I do any type of correction on my own? What if I spray Wd40 or another type of anti water lubricant inside the lock would that help?
You want to use something like a silicone not WD-40
Of course you can do this type of repair but make sure you know what you're doing and you're mechanically handy
any major concerns about the 2015 f150 ecoboost?
Same as the other ones
Front cover leak
Timing chains and phasers
If it's a 2.7 stay far away if it's a 3.5 you're better off with that one but the biggest thing is the timing chains and phasers
If I bought an F-150 that year it would be a 5.0 and would not be an EcoBoost
Is this like a kit you can get from Ford yourself?? I’m going to do it my self.
Yes look up TSB 18N03
Or CSP 18n03
Is that recall only in the states? Up in Canada there's no recalls showing.
You know I find that in Canada and a lot of the overseas manufacturers don't actually notify the customers the same as they do here in the United States and I think it has a lot to do with consumer regulations and it sucks
Ford Boss Me. Is there a part number for this kit? I have a 2017 F250 and it’s not under the recall but the door locks are freezing. I just need the door repair kit. Thanks!
If you take those campaign numbers in the title right here and you type them in Google you will actually come up with the service campaigns that have all the parts at the bottom of the campaign
@@FordBossMe found them and ordered them. Thank You!!
#FordBossMe is this just a cold weather issue? None of my locks are working and it’ 90+ degrees
Yes
My doors were fixed front door knob still giving me problems. Thus week the rear passenger door just opened on its own while driving scary situation.
You might want to check with the dealer because I think they came out with another update to the actual door locks to update the recall
My 2018 F350 15,000 miles and Krown rustproofed every year in the fall and my drivers rear won’t unlock. An hour later and the passenger rear won’t unlock.
It’s 20 degrees and feels like 5 degrees.
18 N 03 door lock freezing campaign
Look it up and see if it's active on your truck and get it to the dealership to have it done
@@FordBossMe is that a TSB or a recall? I’m out of warranty. I bought the truck new and have had three recalls already.
Thanks for the response.
I appreciate the response.
My shit is currently doing it, and its royally pissin me off lol
did you take it in already for the update?
What city are you located in? i have the same issue and my dealer hasn't fixed it, i really doubt there doing this fix on my doors. like to bring my truck to your shop.
I'm in Chicago
They did mine twice and it’s 2020 same issue my alarm keep going off because it’s saying my back door stays open
I wish they would permanently silicone the door handles, I told them we have one guy that wants to come in and let me do the repairs I see that need to be done and we can update the recall. They have not accepted my offer
the Handle Needs to be siliconed around its housing and they put this cheap piece of foam and it doesn't hold up
They’ve performed this on my 2016 f150 lariat and they can’t get it right. 3 times in to Ford and still having issues. selling it and never buying a Ford again.
Because they didn't do the repair my way
dealer told me it's an all day job and have to keep it overnight,
It does take about three and a half hours to do it so that's probably why they would say that because they have to take into consideration the rest of their workload to fit you in and sometimes the techs get pulled off jobs for emergencies which can prolong the time of you having your vehicle finished
Is it possible to heat up the handle for a temporary fix
You can try but I don't really think so because the freezing is more down inside the lock mechanism than anything
@@FordBossMe so all i have to do is what till it unfreezes and it will work again?
@@richmahogany1480 it should the problem is you have water that's freezing something and until it unthaws it's not going to work properly more than likely
Manufacturers have been putting locks on cars for 100 years and they still can't get it right... they should be ashamed of themselves.... I had my grandson in his car seat and the f*&king door flew open when I turned out of the driveway.... DOOR WOULD NOT LATCH
Dosent work, just had mine done and now it freezes almost every cold night.
they need to reseal around the handle area
Too bad that this was "what is wrong" rather than a "how to fix what is wrong" for those of us who don't do this kind of work every day. Thanks for the effort, though.
I literally have thousands of how to videos on here and thousands upon thousands of hours of fixing things especially this main concern that you're talking about right now I have like three or four videos on this alone and because you saw one video you found it necessary to tell me how you're unsatisfied but good video, get f****** real Jack go to the f****** search engine and type in my name on here and door lock freezing or something like that together and look in the videos in the library and see what's there instead of saying some s*** that you don't even know what you're talking about
Do better, you literally have somebody showing you everything about it how to take it apart how to put it back together giving you the commentary on the whole entire situation and you're still f****** complaining
No matter what you do you’re still gonna get condensation in there. They are putting a bandaid on a shit design. 100 years of innovation… I’m about to sell my 17 f350
Wrong, I have fixed them with just the handle upgrade I do my way
Same with me on my 20. I get more mad about little things that designing hasny changed in like 35 years. How can manufacturers keep making stupid engineering mistakes.
