somick Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Hey Alec! Do you have problems with your electric door locks? If that is so, your problem is a door lock actuator. The actuators are probably dead. I have tried to replace mine on the passanger side rear door, but quit since I did not have a replacement. The screws kept spinning.

alecbalcombe Posted July 9, 2006 Author Share Posted July 9, 2006 you recon? did ur door locks flicker when u unlocked/locked the car? then lock or unlock at random? would that be the actuator? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somick Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Yes, when you lock/unlock your driver side door lock, all door locks/actuators recieve a signal and lock/unlock their corresponding locks. If the actuator is dead it would not do anything. So you will have to do it by hand. I hope that that was your question. Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

somick Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 I am glad I could help. By the way mine on the passenger side of the rear door is dead, but I have never been able to get it out. It is held by two smal screws, but in the back of the screw there is some kind of a square threaded plate. I broke off a small metal piece that holds this plate and it just spins around. Since I do not have a replacement I simply quit. You will see what I am talking about when you remove the decrative panel from the door. It is not that hard.
