That so sucks and I`ve read of others in the same boat. Don`t be a nice guy about it. The squeaky wheel gets greased.

Passenger door didn't unlock again this morning. Even after I sprayed it down a few weeks ago. Guess I didn't spray enough.

Knock on wood though, so far my problem has only been the passenger door not unlocking. Every time it has done it, it's just been me in the truck going somewhere and hasn't been a major concern.... YET!

I had 1 degree here today and the truck door only fastened on the first click not fully shut. Sprayed it good and waited. Once again 2 hours later the same thing. The Electric Solenoid sticks. I am sure of it when its expansion internal clearances contract when very cold. Its like the 737 Max. a **** poor management decision to go with a piece of crap Solenoid and its a pos door design and try to blame on linkages and latches. RE name the F150 a F13-13 (LOL)
Once the truck warms up and warm air goes into the door, about 10 minutes the latches lock solenoid works fine again. I knowand believe it by clicking the lock switch several times to get the door to catch on the first lock safety catch.

So quickly reading through all these pages (I haven't read so much since grade 4!) Is there a fix for a frozen tailgate on a 2019?

Hey! Let's be nice... it could also be called a RAM!

This frozen latch crap is regrettable and is forcing potential buyers and current owners alike to go to a competitor. Heck, I bet even Toyota and Nissan have gotten some buyers due to this nonsense!

If you have the start-up rattle, that's a warranty item. Cam phasers (phazers?) get replaced. Full thread on it in this forum.
