Try manually with the key and see if they work then .

I manually open lock (on passenger side) to access car and get going. After about 10/15 min driving the remote actuator or whatever its called, seems to un freeze and then can use keys to open/close doors.
Someone told me the actuator for this car is somewhere under passenger footwell and may have collected water and frozen overnight ?
