Techniques are disclosed for systems and methods to control a vehicle accessory actuator for an actuated vehicle accessory, such as an actuated glovebox in the cockpit of a vehicle. A vehicle accessory control system includes a vehicle accessory actuator and a logic device configured to control operation of the vehicle accessory actuator. The vehicle accessory actuator is configured to unlatch or otherwise control operation of a vehicle accessory. The logic device is configured to receive an unlatch or other control command associated with the vehicle accessory, determine an operating temperature, other environmental condition, or operational status associated with the vehicle, vehicle accessory, or vehicle accessory actuator, and to provide an actuator control signal to the vehicle accessory actuator to unlatch or otherwise control operation of the vehicle accessory, where electrical characteristics of the actuator control signal are based on the determined operating temperature, other environmental condition, or operational status.
