Thank you A1 auto, I knocked this out on my rear driver side 2007 Tahoe is about 30 mins. You guys have great quality DIY videos. I have used them multiple times.
More than 108,000 views. A good reminder that Chev was producing lots of trash for people to spend their hard earned dollars on...good thing us tax payers helped bail them out. Thank you for the great video! I appreciate your effort to help me with this task. You guys rock! Please don’t stop sending these great vids on how to fix these trash vehicles...I can’t afford to get something else.

Thank you for this video. I changed out the passenger side actuator on my 2007 silverado single cab following these directions. It wasn't exactly like my trucks setup, but all the parts were there minus one metal rod(it had a cable instead). Everything went smoothly and now I don't have that "passenger door open" notification anymore
Wow what wonderful instructions for this part! Based on my basic handymanskillset I can take on most projects but knowing where to start and what to avoid is the key to success the first time and A-1 Auto part videos do this for us for free. Even if their parts are a little bit more I always go with A-1 Auto parts.
*Tip* The yellow clip on the actuator that holds the manual lock vertical bar: the new clip was so hard to open/close that I broke it when trying to reinstall. You may want to check it before you reinstall and if it is difficult, replace it with the yellow clip from the old actuator. Other than that everything worked great. Awesome video and awesome replacement part!

Thank you so much , I was trying to get the latch off , couldn't figure out how to get the last two metal wire arms , now I realize I got to remove outside handle first , I was trying to do it without doing that , couldn't get it ..lol
I have a 2012 Chevy Tahoe that I recently replaced the passenger panel. The window rolls up and down but my mirror won’t turn and the door won’t lock. Am I missing something?
I m trying to order this part but when I took off my actuator it has more prongs coming out of the plug. Yours only shows 5 and I believe mine has 7. What are the other two suppose to control and are they important.
My Avalanche had a dent in the door I bought a door from U Pull it and the one I bought the actuator was missing. 😮 So I had to take mine off my door.😢. Thanks I started at 9am and was done at 10:30😅😅. I saved 300.00 from watching your content. 😁
Question.. the other day I put my key in the drivers door to unlock it , the key just turned inside the lock and won’t open, have no clue on my 2014 GMC Serria. Would it be the lock actuator needing replaced. Not a mechanic.
the red piece were can i find that part? deosnt seem to come with door handles i see online pretty sure mine broke that rod is just dangleing havnt taken the door handle off to confirm yet tho
2003 Suburban threaded door lock rod clip replaced. I noticed the rod on the manual key lock is just dangling. I can't find a clear discription where it connects on to lock actuator. 😫 I'm stumped without pulling lock actuator back out. Any clues will be helpful. As I'm now able to open door with outside handle now obviously.
This was a great video that helped me replace the actuator on my 2011 Silverado. I was wondering if you had a video, or knew where one was, that shows how to replace the wiring harness in the front driver side door?

I have a 07’ Colorado. The driver door stop locking/unlocking with key fob but the other three doors still respond. I can’t even lock the driver door with key or by manually pushing latch on inside of door. Would this be a bad or broken actuator?
What if neither of the latches (inside or outside) will open the door? How do I get the panel off to open the door so I can work on the broken latches?
I was considering installing some gloss black handles but after watching this for the first 10 minutes I suppose my black textured handles don’t look so bad after all. 👀
Changed my 2012 driver door actuator and it didn't fix my issue.... doom light doesn't come on, radio doesn't turn off, instrument panel lights stay on
I replaced the door latch cable in my front passenger side door after the little ball at the end had broken off. after replacing the cable my door will still not open from the inside but will still open from the outside. when i reach into the door i can feel the lock moving on the inside of the door when the handle is pulled. would the actuator be what is causing this?.

My drivers side window works sometimes on my 2008 Sierra 1500. The switch has been changed. The window worked for a while after that but now it's not. Any advice on what to do now?
+Candace Jackson Since there could be multiple reasons why you’re experiencing this difficulty with your vehicle, I strongly recommend that you have a reputable mechanic inspect it. They’ll be able to troubleshoot the problem and tell you what part or parts you’ll need for the repair.
