Default Drivers Side Door Actuator

question, my front drivers side door actuator is playing up, i press the button to lock the door and it locks, i press it again to unlock it, and all it does is makes a noise likes its trying to unlock and it dosent, all the other doors unlock expect the drivers side, i have to go over the same process like 10 times before it finally unlocks it self, i use the key to unlock it and all it does is pushes the back linkage off the back of the barrel,

any ideas would be good guys cheers

just replace it, they're not too expensive anymore. i know someone on ebay used to do a fix kit for them. not sure if he still does though. anyway, they are about $60 from a wreckers i think. apparently bf ones have stronger gears in them

This is the place. Over the last 3 years I've bought two from him, great service and in Melb you can pick them up saving postage.

The problem with buying from a wreckers is that they could be about to break like the replaced one.

Too true. The first time I rang him to order one (on a weekend) he was playing golf, but still took the order and had it to me in 2 days! Brilliant
