Greg, you are the man! Wow, you have the patience of a Saint and didn't even curse and nothing seemed to phase you. Your video will help me access the Mark Levenson door speakers to do a rebuild on. As far as the door lock actuator, I usually run into problems aligning stuff back up when reinstalling so I may leave this one to the PROs, but who knows I may attempt this. Plus you filmed this all by yourself. Thank you so much as I just purchase a 2002 SC430 with a passenger side lock actuator that isn't opening or closing and for sure the lower right hand front door speaker has the foam and rubber gasket deteriorated.
Just replaced my actuator following your video - thanks so much. At 74 with leg cramps it was quite a job, but got it done in 4+ hours. Really appreciate the tip to have the window down to take panel off, but then up to replace actuator and back down again to put panel back on. I had repaired speakers before without fully removing panel - wish I’d seen your video back then! I bought a replacement actuator for about $125 so didn’t do the motor replacement like you did - a bit more than my skill set. Only little problem at end was screwing in the door handle part. Spent a lot of time trying to line up screw with no luck. Guess I was just tired by then as it was the last thing to do!
The lock actuator came out of the door. I replaced the little $5 motor. You can purchase the actuator. Rockauto.com sells them for about $125. Or you can get them at the dealer.
