automatic door locks intermittently working
Hi,
I've noted that, perhaps related to ambient temperature, either the drivers side or passenger side door locks don't automatically lock/unlock. I can see them move a bit but it's almost like there isn't enough force. I've seen the thread on an actuator replacement but wasn't sure if this was the same problem since it's both doors and the actuator does seem to try.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!!

I seem to have the door lock issue intermittently on the passenger door side only when the temps get pretty hot. Mostly during the days when I leave the car out in the sun/heat, the power door button (on the keyfob or driver door).
Like most older cars, its probably the power lock actuator going out or wearing out. It happend to my Toyota sedan also on the passenger side where the front door power lock doesn't work at all anymore.

Just got my car back from service and the dealership notified me that my left door actuator is failing and gave me an estimate of 500$. Don't want to do the 5$ diy method. Was think of just buying the OEM and installing myself.
Did anyone purchase the OEM actuator and install it?
If so, from where did you purchase the part?

To install you will have to remove the door panel, window, and regulator. Its not that hard just time consuming.
