Car or Truck Door Locks Not Working - Replacing Door Lock Actuator - 07-13 Toyota Tundra

I've installed several door lock actuators now and I've learned several things along the way. I also spoke with some professionals to get some tips and tricks. All of that information is shared in this video. There is definitely a wrong and a right way to install a door lock actuator. I highly suggest you do not purchase an aftermarket actuator. They are known to have issues. Brand new actuators can be very pricey but you have a great option on eBay.
This video is sponsored by Actuators Plus (eBay). They sell OEM actuators with an optional lifetime warranty. All you have to do is return your faulty actuator in their pre-labelled shipping envelope and your lifetime warranty will be activated.

*Actuators Plus did provide the actuator for this installation video free of charge *
Symptoms of a bad actuator:
1. A door will not lock or unlock using your power locks button in your vehicle
2. Your remote will no longer allow you to lock or unlock the doors of your vehicle.

Excellent tutorial. BRAVO! Thank you for the door latch trick. I would have surely made that one major mistake. Also mine is the driver's door so I would have missed that lock screw too. Very good. I've watched at least a dozen tutorials on this and they all missed the big stuff. Always greatful. Also bought an actuator from your guy. I've been using the door key for almost two years. Thank you.

@clintcarter7294 4 года назад

Thanks! Saved me a lot of money and time. I've never removed a door panel or replaced a door actuator before. Felt good. One area where I messed up was not securing the green cable as far down as it would go in the door. I would open the door once and then it wouldn't work anymore because the cable kept slipping out of its holder. I used an aftermarket actuator because the OEM's are only lasting me about 2-3 years. This is the third set of actuators on this 2013 Sequoia Platinum. Total parts were just under $100 for driver and passenger doors on the front.

@TightWadDIY 4 года назад

Clint Carter Hopefully you have your issue fixed now. I tried an aftermarket from Rock Auto but the latch part didn’t fit properly so I sent it back. That’s why I went with a refurbished OEM. I haven’t had an issue on any of the three I replaced so far.

Just replaced to front door lock actuators on my 2014 Tundra thanks to your video! It was relatively easy. I did get my new actuators from Actuators Plus and I am very impressed! They included a postage paid return envelope for my faulty actuators. I am so grateful for your great post! My only hiccups were not knowing how to reconnect the drivers door electrical connector, and forgetting to bolt the passenger side window track before replacing the door panel, ugh. The whole job, including the hiccups took about an hour. I would encourage almost anyone to do this job before having a shop do it. If anyone knows of a video tutorial on all the Toyota electrical connectors and how they work please send me the link. Thanks again!

@TightWadDIY Год назад

Yes. Are you sure you got the rod with the star on the end from the outside handle in the correct way? You aren’t changing anything except the motor really. It has no impact on the keys.

@lelandrychel3331 2 месяца назад

Unusual situation - my key would turn the lock, but no result. 2012 Tundra. I was ready to remove the lock assembly, until I saw your tip about the key assembly. I took that apart, seemed fine, reassembled just the key lock. Works fine. And it feels different. It now has a solid feel to the actuators. Wonder if it was not seated in the nylon star in the door? Anyway, great tips well done - and you just saved me a buttload of work. Thank you.

@TightWadDIY 2 месяца назад

It’s odd that it would have lost connection but glad you figured it out.

@christophervines9756 Год назад

He is very right on making sure that metal rod is in place 😂...what a pain in the ass to get the door open. Luckily a 3ft rod from Homedepot with a hook bent on the end and an endoscope taped to the rod. I was able to fish the makeshift rod through the window switch panel hole and somehow hook the lever opening the door. Took about an hour of fishing around and bending the rod but I can't imagine what a mechanic would have charge me!! Less learn watch the whole video!! Haha

What is the failure rate on these actuators? Mine started acting up and I found this video. I just finished changing out the actuator on the Driver's Door. Everything on the driver's door now works(Button and Keyless lock and unlock as well as key lock/unlock) but the other 3 doors do not lock/unlock from the button or the key fob. Also I get no audible beep when locking from the key fob. I get a beep when I unlock but it only unlocks the driver's door. Does this mean that 1 of the other 3 doors also has a failed actuator?

@mourningwarbler 5 лет назад

Thank you. Very interesting! But it is way over my head. (Is it a good idea to find an actuator at an auto "grave yard" where they sell parts that you pull from the old cars yourself? My son's got problems with a car window and is thinking of getting the part that way.)

@TightWadDIY 5 лет назад

mourningwarbler That is a good way to find affordable parts. The only issue is they don’t typically come with warranty. The actuator wouldn’t be the part he needs if his windows don’t work. It only controls the locks.

Would this also work on a 2010 Jeep Liberty? I'm about to take the plunge as I cannot afford the $500 bill a mechanic wants!

@TightWadDIY 2 года назад

It’s the same concept but Obviously not exact.

@Ben-of6rp 2 года назад

What’s the different between that and the door lock motor?

@TightWadDIY 2 года назад

It’s all the same system.

If you're door won't open on either side roll down the window take the window trim off of the exterior the trim that has the filt facing inside that will give you a bigger gap to look down the door with your light i took a carbin fiber cleaning rod push down the actuator handle down open the door

Have you ever tried replacing Serpentine Belt, Tensioner Pulley, & Idler Pulley on said truck?

@TightWadDIY 2 года назад

I replaced the serpentine belt but haven’t uploaded the video yet. Didn’t replace any pulleys.

Do you have ideas as to why the door will open from the outside but not the the inside handle? Thank you again.

@TightWadDIY 3 года назад

It sounds like one of your cables is disengaged or broken.

@8u2b 3 года назад

@@TightWadDIY thanks for the reply. I went back and checked all the cables. They were still connected. I took the new one off and returned it auto zone. It was $277 and didn’t work. Ordered from the eBay store you suggested and saved over $200 more dollars. Only issue I have now is I cross threaded the screw to reset the key lock. It is holding now with some lock tight. Thank you so much. I also did the toothpaste headlight restore last night.

@TightWadDIY 3 года назад

@@8u2b You could try using a tap to rethread for that screw if the loctite fails. I always recommend using OEM parts when available. I also started with an actuator from RockAuto and it was close but not an exact match so I returned it prior to finding Actuators Plus. I’ve now replaced all four of my actuators using their parts and have had zero issues.

@TightWadDIY 3 месяца назад

Could be the fob or a fuse.

I went to my dealership, and they said it's going to take 3 weeks for them to even look at my door! I have a Ford Fusion and my front door does not stay closed. Do you think it's because of this issue?

@TightWadDIY 9 месяцев назад

It could be related to the same part. Does the part on the actuator flip down when you push on it?

@darrellbraniff5129 9 месяцев назад

My doors are not locking with remote or on door switches. They will unlock with remote and switches. Doors will not lock when speed is reached but will unlock when placed in park. Am I understanding correctly that both driver and passenger actuators have failed at the same time?

@TightWadDIY 9 месяцев назад

Interesting. I’d try just one first to see if that is your issue.

@darrellbraniff5129 9 месяцев назад

I'm waiting for the delivery of the driver's door actuator. I'm not convinced that is the issue but I'll let you know.@@TightWadDIY
