Brilliant fix for the frozen latch.

Do you replace the entire motor or clean out the commutator? What's the part # on the motors?

DHC fix / reinforcement also brilliant. I'm about to replace the two front ones on my 4.6is I just bought. I have replaced them before and they all break at that point due to thin cast metal taking a lot of force. You just wrap the zip tie twice around that and presto?

Thanks for the work and experimentation!!
