P/s Front Door Not Un/locking

[IanA2]

As above. My front passenger side door has stopped locking and unlocking. All other doors work fine. Nothing happened to it, it just stopped working. Any ideas folks, is it likely to be a diy &/or easy fix or is it time to shake the cobwebs off my wallet?

Thanks folks.

Car is 2001 GS430

Any ideas?

Hi,

There have been cases on other models where the lock accuator has failed, well the little electric motor inside the unit.

I got one from a breakers and swopped the motor over as mine is a 1994 and the accuator was a 1996 so different.

Been working fine ever since.

Thanks for that. Is one actuator per door, and is it located in the door? Thanks.

I had to change mine in the drivers door, Very easy to do. Comes built in with the door latch if you buy from a breakers.

there's one here
