You will learn how to Repair/Replace Your Car Door Lock Actuator. Complete Instructions on how to do this project from start to finish. If you just want to replace the whole door latch with actuator (simple job) or you want to save money and take the door latch mechanism apart and just replace the motor that operates the door lock, this video will show you the process for either one.
It was a hassle for the owner not to be able to open the drivers side door with the remote and this repair was a blessing for them and restored the convenience and safety of having that option.

amazing, i was just quoted $600 for a lock actuator replacement, gonna give it a try myself thanks to you!

@helpinguonline 2 года назад

Depending on what model car you have... some of the complete actuators are not expensive and all you need to do is change out the complete module. In my case the complete module was expensive so it made sense to just change the little motor. You can do it...

Just wanted to say thanks for this, whilst there are a fair few other related videos, yours showed it's possible to open it up without cutting it open and without having to worry all that much about springs and gears flying out everywhere. Having a walk through video certainly gives more confidence and takes the guess work out of where screws and lugs are located etc. My issue ended up being a bit of water somehow got in (the foam on the wires connected to the handle were wet) or the grease got dirty and the contacts on the sliding mechanism were obviously not touching. Cleaned them and bent them back into position and all working. Literally saved over $600 as Christopher Page also mentioned. Much appreciated.

If you do not want to replace the motor you may want to consider just replacing the whole actuator mechanism. Some are very reasonably priced and that is not a very difficult project and you would still save hundreds of dollars

@leerudd1294 Год назад

One of the most intuitive videos I've seen on how to get one of these locks apart. It's similar to my UK Verso 2010 model, and now gives me confidence in fully taking apart the locking mechanism, as it seems very hard to get new ones for right hand drive at reasonable prices, and for the price of a new motor, I'll definitely be giving this a go. I just don't have a safe place to leave my car, so just need to track down the correct motor before I take it apart. Thanks for the video. :D

@leerudd1294 Год назад

Finally got some motors from China, and it made no change. Door still will only lock, but won't unlock all doors or the drivers door. So looks like it may be either an electrical fault in a wire somewhere, or something else is broken in the door locking system??

@@helpinguonline Napa reduces the price from $460 to $289 if bought online. They are trying to push purchases online over in store. I was willing to pay the $289 (x2, both front doors!). But I walked out because of the insane in store cost. I’ll check online. I loathe Amazon, so hopefully ebay or some other source will have a good quality actuator at lower cost.

Thanks a lot for this video. I had ordered what I thought was the correct actuator for my "95 Camry. As it turned out, it was totally not the correct one. This I discovered after receiving the part, which is the same time I dismantled the door. The parts website appeared correct, but sometimes there is a difference if the car was made in Japan vs the U.S. My Camry was made in Japan, and now I know to be more careful when ordering parts. Well, I thought to either cannibalize the new part and hope the motors are the same or take mine apart and see if I can fix something. After taking mine apart, I saw a bit of smoke arise from the motor when testing it. Also, the motor has a funny thing on its outside. It looks like a dime-sized disc slipped in between two contact plates. The disc has the number "5007" engraved on it and it appears dirty &/or oxidized. Without the disc in place, and the two contact plates touching, the motor works like a banshee. So, I figured that the disc is some sort of resistor, or other electrical component and may itself be the problem. Knowing that oxidation can affect electrical contacts, I cleaned the contact plates and the disc and put it back in. Violá. It's up and running. Now we'll see how long it lasts. NOTE: On this Japanese-made Camry, you may need to remove the latch assembly through the door handle opening. That's what I ended up doing.

@helpinguonline 2 года назад

I hesitate to give you the motor number because there are different motors that go into different actuators. Having said that here is a link for the one I ordered... BUT make sure you check to make sure it is the same for your van. www.amazon.com/Central-Actuator-FC-280PC-22125-Spindle-Locking/dp/B00BYD0QVK/ref=asc_df_B00BYD0QVK/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=198072808542&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=10626720873324796142&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9009968&hvtargid=pla-321309836635&psc=1 There are many places you can order this part... not just this link. Also, you might want to look into the cost of a whole replacement actuator for your Sienna. Your van might take an actuator that costs around $25. If that is the case and you want to save lots of time (it's very easy to change the actuator) you may want to consider that?. Either way you will save yourself lots of money. Dealerships charge around $600 to do one. Hope that helps and let us know how your project turns out
