A few weeks/months ago the front door lock actuator went “bad” in my ‘14 Camry. It wouldn’t consistently lock the driver side door, and I say consistently because for some reason, on some days locking the car works just fine. Took it to Toyota and they want something like $1200 for the repair.
I looked up this repair on YouTube and think i could see it through, but as a layman I’m not sure of course.
I’m hoping somebody has an ace up their sleeve and knows a simple trick to fix it lol. If not I’ll end up taking it in, just wanted to get some trained opinions. Thank you
It’s a 35 dollar part. And quite simple to repair. If you take your time WITH patience it would be really difficult to make it worse.
You can get an aisin actuator on rock auto for $130 that I would trust way more than amazon
Actuators are simple tech. I’ll save the 90 bucks. Unless it’s DOA it’s going to be fine long term.
