before I rip the doors apart and order 2 90 dollar actuators, i'd ask here first. My wirless armer does nothing...fresh battery.....manually locking the doors with the key does nothing, it wont even turn.....wtf!! Faulty actuators??? i've resorted to leaving my pitbull in the car wherever i go! j/k i dont even have a dog thanks

One can bench test the actuators but it kinda sounds like both froze. See Jrichker's homepage for how to retrofit new universal actuators for a few dollars each.

Good luck.

I retrofitted some actuators so they work like a charm now. When you can't turn the key anymore, they froze alright. Don't force it or you'll snap your key.
