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
On rockauto they range from $22-180 per actuator. The job is a bit tedious but simple enough to tackle on your own. There’s plenty of youtube videos covering how to. If your still hesitant, find a local junkyard and pay the $2 admission fee to practice the job on.
