door lock actuator

[darthcual]

Well my drivers side has not been working for some time, so i took it out yesterday. Anyone know where i can get one besides autozone who wants a whopping 89.99 for theres. I was looking to spend 40-50 bucks.

Ebay. There are a couple sellers out there that always have some for 20-30. Tested, so they say. That's where I bought my last. Just remember, when buying on ebay, use sellers with many sales and very low negative feedback.

http://secure.50resto.com/product1.cfm?SID=1&Product_ID=816&Category_ID=853 50resto is showing an aftermarket one for half the price of the oe. When mine went bad I bought 2 from partsexpress.com for like 4 bucks a piece. I took some modifications but they have been on there for 3 years now. Good luck.

Stuck with door lock actuators that don't work and don't want to pay the $50+ for a new one? Tried the junkyard ones and found that they last six months and freeze up?

A new actuator for less than $4. Fix one side for $17, do both sides for only $23. I don't sell parts, I don’t make any money off of the upgrade, I just tell you how to do it cheaply and easily.

PARTS EXPRESS

Anybody ever just try to buy the cheap 6 dollar one and just swap the motors in the actuators? Then the fabrication wouldnt be necesary.

You can just mount them like I did. I got the Parts Express ones and just drilled mounting holes in the door inside sheet metal. They have been working for about 2+ years now.
