2006-2014 Kia Sedona door lock actuator motor replacement. 

I just did same thing as you showed. Worked perfectly. Thanks a lot. $27 on Amazon here in Ontario.

I got the part and it was spec'd for kia sedona door locks, but not for the hatch. It had a much larger worm gear than the one in the rear hatch. I removed the worm gear from the new one, put the old worm gear on this motor and assembled. When I tried it, the hatch would do the opposite of what the doors did (unlock when the rest locked and vice versa). So I couldn't get the connector apart and just cut the two wires and swapped them. It all works now. It was a real pain, but I'm frugal and feel great joy saving $100.00 since the reality is everyone is on a fixed income, we can only buy so much stuff in any given year. This video inspired me. Its a shame product manufacturers would rather have you buy a part for $120.00 that you don't really need, as opposed to getting a $10.00 part that will repair the issue. 20 years ago if my vacuum cleaner didn't work I'd trash it and buy a new one. Now I'd install a new switch and be good as new. It feels great fixing everything.

Changed motor to operate doors but still wouldn’t open I now no why , never even realise their was two , real massive thank to you

Thank God I have not been able to repair my doors for six months. THANKS A LOT

I just finished replacing the door lock actuator motor in my '08 KIA Sedona. Thanks to this video I saved myself well over a hundred dollars. The dealership wanted to sell me the entire sealed unit with the gears and all for $115.00. I was able to purchase the MOTOR ONLY on Amazon for $14.00!! The installation was simple thanks to the video.

Tnx from bottom of my heart

I could fix door problem just replacing motor because of your video. Thank you for your posting

Good idea but holding it in a vice or vice grip would be better! But You have solved a problem.

Excellent demonstration It taught me a lot. Thank you.

Thanks for the video. You don't need to pull the arm off. I just did one of mine and left the arm on. I heated my utility knife and made the initial opening. The rest came very easily. I just need the new motor now. Again thanks for the vid. Good job! By the way, before you screw the unit back on the lock mechanism, you may want to attach the actuator to the electrical connector and try the power locks to see if it works. I will try that with mine before I put it all back together.

Thanks for the video

That's a great video. Thank you for that. It would be great if you could also make a video on how to get to the actuator motor, meaning how to strip the plastic off the door etc. Kind regards

Thank you for the video

One of my rear sliding door locks are fixed thanks in part to you, will go do the other one now. Just wanted to say thanks for the video first, I appreciate it. Have a good one. When i first put the locking mechanism back in, i tried my key with baited breath and no way it worked. Unbelievable. I purchased last month from a dealer and did not realize the back doors were not locking for a whole month ! The dealer sold me it not even knowing they were not working. Lol. Your video helped out me out a lot. I did not have a razor knife, so i used a sharp carving knife. I did not need to use a hammer, but used slight cutting motions which quickly entered the seem so easy in fact. I messed up by not realizing I was at the housing around the screw hole when i started expanding the seam and promptly snapped off the corner around the screw hole. No matter it kind of held the seam together enough when i put it all back together. So much so I did not bother gluing.

I want to thank you for sharing.this video, really appreciate it.

Thank you so, so much for this video.

Thank you. Saved me some money!

thank you so much great video

Thanks a million

Thanks allot

This looks great - but I can't find a video explaining how to take the part out in the first place!

thank you ...I need to do this

Looks like you can do the same with the trunk (liftgate, tailgate). The motor size is different though. It should be the 2007-2010 Entourage motor available for $10. Otherwise the whole bell crank runs about $120 from the dealership. The liftgate is even easier to do than the sliding doors.

Anyone know if this mechanism (part) came similar on front door... And could be fixed same way?

great video. i used this when i replaced my dad's. so thanks for making this. now my dad's driver side passenger sliding door latch won't lift, and the door will not close latch. do you have a link to a video showing the replacement of that latch? have you replaced that latch part before? i seem to be hitting dead-ends finding anything on it. thanks much!

Has anyone been able to find the exact replacement motor? The motor used (with the shorter brass gear) is actually for the sliding door actuator, not the door lock actuator. I'm wondering of anyone has found the motor with the longer plastic gear. Although I don't doubt the motor used will work, without the bushing to hold it in place at the end it's less stable than it should be.

Mine is the tailgate lock that's not locking. At first it wouldn't unlock. Is this the motor for the tailgate too? Currently I can hear all the door locks click and click two or three times when starting the car and all but the tailgate will lock with the remote. As a result the horn won't 'honk' indicating I've got all the doors locked. One dealer wanted $120 just to check it out, I was thinking I could replace a LOT of lock motors for that much!

Any idea if there is a part like this for a 2016 Sedona?

Does anyone know this may work with front passenger door lock?

What about the cargo gate lock actuator? Have you got a video for that as well?

Can you test it before install it

Where do you get that and about how much

Great video I was able to fix the internal lock but now the external door handle stopped working. Seems like a problem with the cables. Any ideas?

mines just beeps and wont open manually

Does anyone know if the same motors for the sliding rear doors will work with the driver and passenger side front doors?

How do you remove the lock actuator

Awesome video! Does anyone have the part number for the tailgate / lift gate / hatchback (whatever) lock actuator motor? Looks the same but the gearing different. Shorter gear and tighter twist. I see JO's comments about the 2007 entourage, but I still can't find the part on Amazon or Ebay. This video was great for the slider door ... got mine working again today for $12 and about 2 hrs.
