My driver side door lock stop working awhile ago, and I thought I could go without replacing it ($200+ for just the door actuator) but its becoming a nuisance using my key to unlock the door every time!

I seen numerous threads where people just buy a $20 lock actuator and make a custom bracket to hold it...just wondering if any GTA drivers have run into this issue and what they did to fix it!!!

 

i'm having the same issue too, driver side only, and its only intermintent. Works sometimes and doesn't work the other half of the time. Its annoying! haha

 

^ lol mines did the same thing at first and eventually gave out!

 

you can get an aftermarket actuator for like 15 bucks at future shop or another car audio shop

 

In the same boat, luckily mine is passenger...even more annoying if I need to get something from that side I can't even use keys to unlock it!

 

If you want a genuine nissan part at a discount there's a thread bumpin around here from Shawn which has a local guy in the GTA who can get parts for a fraction of the cost. He works at Infiniti/Nissan as I understand it.

 

I took the liberty of searching it for u.

Yeah checked with him, still $200 for passenger side in my case.

Considering just retro-fitting a universal one in.

 

Yeah I checked with David (Kijiii guy) before posting this thread, he pretty much told me $200 also not worth it IMO

Let me know how the retro-fitting goes...I'm going to check out futureshop for the door accuator, I get cost pricing at Futureshop (cousin works there) I'll let you know how much it is...

 

I am having the same problem please let us know how the aftermarket works and how much different it is.

 

I got my actuator from David and it was $180. The install was a pain in the a** as you need to take the window out in order to access the lock. It took about an hour with some help from a friend. I think if you go to a shop they will charge you about 1.5 hrs of labour. Not cheap for sure.

However it is great to have my power door lock working now.

 

Got mine change @ Hi-Tech Auto Stereo & Accessories yesterday $160 installed with actuator included.

 

^ NO way SOLD...will be giving them a call thanks G 101!!!

what kind of actuator was it, oem?

 

Np! It was a universal one.

 

^any kind of warranty?
