I have a 90 LX and need to change out my door lock actuators, would be nice to lock my car again. Any tricks of advice? Would prefer not to get stuck and drive with no door panels for next four months.

your doors dont lock at all? Not even if you push hard on them down.

Follow this link to fix your door lock actuator problems http://jrichker.stangnet.com/Mustang_tech/door_actuator_fix/1_of_8_door_actuator.htm

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.
