Ford focus door wont shut cold.
I recently bought a 2007 ford focus.
My spouse s 2005 ford focus rear driver s door won t latch.
The temperatures was only zero degrees celsius at most last night and the windscreen of the car was not frozen.
December 15 2016 2 pm i have this problem every winter with the drivers door on my 06 ford taurus not closing when its very cold but usually when the car warms up it works well yesterday it didn t and today either and i let the car warm up 10 minutes.
This morning was the first time the car was in freezing temperatures since i have owned it and after unlocking the door and opening it the door latch would not engage and hold the door closed.
I came in house and looked on internet and saw your site it looked simple that so i thought i would give it a try and it worked.
You probably don t need to replace the latch.
My 2014 ford focus se back passenger door will shut but not lock the lock part.
A latch is used to keep the door glove box center console trunk and hood closed and then allow the item to open once the latch has been released.
Ford has issued another recall for faulty door latches which can fail to secure a door leading to its possibly coming open while the vehicle is being driven.
My 02 ford focus the right passenger door is locked shut will not open.
It is not the usual problem of the latch being stuck in the lock position and needing to be unlatched with a screwdriver.
Driver door won t shut in very cold weather.
If the door latches after repeated attempts to shut it there is potential for the door to unlatch while driving increasing the risk of injury ford stated.

Maybe just being able to get at it and properly lubricate it may help.

All the other 3 doors work ok.
It will not engage and lock the door.
2012 15 ford focus vehicles.
This common part has a common problem which is if the latch clasp falls closed while the door or item is open the latch will not work.
