I think my driver side door lock actuator seems to be going out. I can manually lock it from inside the car or with a key outside the car, but the key fob and door panel switch doesn't lock/unlock the door. I checked the door panel switches and they were connected fine.

I was just wondering if anyone has replaced the actuator themselves and if so how much of a pain is it to do? (none of the "DIY's" I've found are full write ups) Should I just schedule something with Lokey and bite the bullet on the labor costs?

+1 on this.... this happening to me as well on my 04 coupe

Had both of mine replaced by Lokey under warranty in my '04 coupe.

Yeah I'm out of warranty, that's the only reason I was asking about others that might have had to do their own since I've seen people in other threads stating the dealership quoted $250 and up just for labor.

Eh.... I guess I'll just wing with the FSM and if all else fails I'll take it in for service.

Yeah I was planning on ordering through you guys since the past two orders I've made have gone very smooth. Thanks again!

You're welcome. Thank you for the vote of confidence!
