Thread: Lock actuators random fault

I can't add anything to this except I am most interested in what comes back.

My 3-dr does the exact same thing (except it's the 'front/only' LH door), and has done for years. The driver's door works perfectly, every time. I've checked and cleaned and lubed all mechanisms with no change. I've replaced the actuators with wreckers yard specials that seem to work strongly out of the car across a good battery. No change. I have a set of aftermarket actuators I could fit, but I'm not entirely convinced that'll fix it. When I do the second cycle I often hear a clunk as I 'unlock' and then I know it will lock when I next hit the button.

Could be worn plastic gear teeth , sometimes they engage, sometimes don't. Jayco have replacement units for not much money.

Same here, LHF sometimes requires a second try for it to open, usually when SWMBO is at the door waiting to get in. Maybe the disco is just trying to tell me something

G'day. Any chance you could provide more info on this? Link, pics, etc? Otherwise it is just teasing...

I have installed one of these in my driver door. This shape / size, not the brand. They fit well. No mods required mechanically. Wiring I had to match. It wasn't straight plug in. Now I don't know how it will fit into tail gate tough.
