On my 91 Mustang (front right door), the actuator motor failed. When i was removing it, there was a little yellow-brown plastic molded piece that had broken and was still attached to the actuator S-rod. The factory service manual blow-up shows a 'bushing' 38665-S and a 'clip' 390523-S. Does anyone know if i need both, to fit the actuator S-rod into the actuator lever on the door latch? Are they still available? I don't know whether that yellow-brown piece was the 'bushing' or the 'clip', btw.

One more question - The correct rivet number shows as N805995-S. Is this available?

Thanks for the help.

Aftermarket assortments of clips are available at the local parts stores. They are in the " Help " aisle. I know Advance, O'Reillys, and AutoZ sell them.

Use the attached PDF document to fix your door lock actuator problems

You will need the Adobe Acrobat viewer which is also a free download – http://get.adobe.com/reader/

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 $8. Fix one side for $20, do both sides for only $28. 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.

By the way, I am still using the same $4 actuators I bought in 2002 and this is the second Mustang I have installed them in! Beat that with your fancy replacements!
