This hints of central locking pump, etc. But then maybe there was ice that formed overnight. Note to self: don't' wash the car an hour before freezing is expected. If anything changes, I'll update.

I think you hit right on it, the mechanism got wet and when it froze got stuck until it de-iced. I'm sure you'll keep an eye on it for a few, if it returns without the wash job before temps drop would you please come back and let us know? Thanks!
