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.

thank you!! I’m a college student who wouldn’t have been able to afford to take my car in to get this fixed. My dad and I watched this video and we were able to get it in working order!
Great viedo, just wandering where do you find the motor, and what is the part number, Thanks,
How much does it cost to replace a Mazda 2008 locking mechanism?
Your video is very nice, could you please tell me the link of the moter you bought??, thank you very much
I fixed mine with just a nail. The plastic rod broke so I just replaced it with a metal nail.😅
Thank you!! Great video very well explained it! I just fixed my 2006 Toyota Corolla. Not a cambry but its the same
You are a HERO!!!
Going to do this on my car soon.
$460 for new actuator on my 2018 RAV4. Nope! Going to replace the motor.
Good video but I have a few friends who tried this on their Lexus RXs. The door unlocked when it should have locked so three doors locked and one unlocked. Or 1 door locked and three open. It’s hit of miss with these cheap Chinese motors as you don’t know which way the polarity is. I had 4 doors go out on my 2002 RX and just bought reconditioned OEM full units off eBay for $100 each and installed them myself. Lifetime guaranteed.
With my car if i put the key in and turn it only the drivers door opens and just sometimes the rest of the doors open like 15min later.
So do i have to change the driversside actuator?
Do you have tutorial for Triton 2017 door latch replacement please!!??..thank you
we saw the movie it's great. but we are having a problem fining the motor. can you recommend where can I buy it?
oh man thats what my car is doing; i couldnt find the same car video but i think is the same situation. I will keep you posted. Thank You.
I bought those little motor from Amazon about $4.00 each for 2003 lexus LX 470 they last about 2 years. They stop working in hot weather.
How did you open the door???🤔🤔🤔
Can you provide the link where I can order the motor? Amazon?
Has anyone done this with a 2005 echo/yaris hatchback. Would love to know if motor is d shaft 10 mm. Thanks. All 4 doors have gradually stopped working except the hatch lock.
would I still be a able to do this even if i didn’t have a key fob ? my mom gave me her old car,she use to have a key fob but she left the windows open when it rained and messed up the locks in the doors. it was unlocking and locking by them selves so my dad took the fuse out so it wouldn’t do that. anyways when i checked to see if a fuse was in the car it’s one in there and it’s not blown but the car still won’t lock or unlock inside in the driver side panel. i wonder if i do this would it be able to fix the locks on all doors so i can get a key fob
Jeez, you forgot the fun part, the manual linkage
Thanks! Question: if I install a brand new actuator on my drivers door will I need to reprogram my key fob or will it work with the new part? 2010 Toyota Avalon
Would this work for a 2008 pontiac g6?
Great video thank you for explaining everything in details I will be trying this soon on my own.
I find new motor but l can’t find worm gear
i have a 2021 rav4 hyb, not sure if i can do this huhu…sooo expensive to have it prof done
I was quoted 500/600 dollars just to have my dor opened( it was locked) and additionally the cost of whatever it you be for fixing the locking mechanism. I unlocked my door myself for zero dollars and I’m going to fix my locking mechanism myself. Thank you!
I have a 2008 Ford Escape, and my passenger side door occasionally doesn’t want to lock. For awhile It was just off and on; sometimes it would, and other times it wouldn’t. Now it altogether will not lock. The little prong on the outside of the door doesn’t go down when closing; it stays in one spot. I’ve checked the fuses? Could this be the actuator or something else? Please let me know! My car just got robbed because of this door!!!! Help!
I have a 2012 mazda 3. The problem is the driver side lock works or at least sounds like it does but I cannot open the door from the inside when it is warm outisde. It used to be I could press the lock and unlock button a couple of times and I could open the door but after the little heat wave we just had, I have to open the window and pull the handle from the outside even now that it has cooled off. Any idea what the problem would be? Would replacing the acuator work? Thank you!
Too tough for me. Im out a lot of money i guess
Good explanation. thanks for posting.
500 for this repair is an absolute rip off+
When my mechanic replaced my actuators, the key fob stopped working. When I try to reprogram it, the system rejects it. What’s worse is that when I use the actual key to open the door manually, the security alarm goes off until I put the key in the ignition. Any idea what might have happened? I have a 2000 Lexus RX 300
Where did you get the motor, do you have a part number? Video was great, except for my questions
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. 😀
Before door actuator is so expensive for my 2002 lexus now is very cheap so I can replace my car door actuator by my self
Will this also work on a 05 Ford Explorer?
What motor and where did you purchase? I have a 2002 Lexus
When I lock my doors once inside my car or even while driving they all unlock by themselves sometimes. Any idea what could be the problem ? The door locks don't stick on any particular door they just all open up once in a while. Thanks.
Where did you get the motor?
