door lock actuator

[KUCAK]

My Drivers lock stopped working and i need to fix it. I pulled the panel off and played witht the wires. It worked for a day, then dead again. I hate opening with the key, and not the remote..Any ideas on a fix?

You probably need to replace the actuator..

I was hoping you wouldnt say that. I cant find a DIY on the actuator. Where can i get an idea on how to swap it out? Or can someone give me an idea on how its done?

I haven't done the job before, so maybe someone else will chime in. GL.

My drivers side actuator is malfunctioning as well, but only when it's < 40 degreesF, since I live in AZ, I'm not going to worry about it now until I have another reason to visit the dealer. It is frustrating and embarrassing to say the least when you have to use the key though, I know.

I got actuator for sale if you interested. Very-very easy to replace:

1. Remove door panel
2. Unbolt old actuator
3. Disconnect the cables
4. Install new one and put everything else back.

Is this used? Removed from your vehicle?
