Default Door Lock Issue 1999 SUBURBAN

I can not unlock my rear driver door. The lock lever is frozen and the electric lock will not unlock, nor can I unlock manually. Any suggestions????

You might go by a locksmith shop, one that does vecicles. They may be able to open the door with a slim jim or some other device. Then you can put the trim panel off the door and see what's the problem.

I just checked on the lock again and now it works?????? Could cold weather effect the locking mechanism?
