Hey guys, I've read a little bit up on this, but wanted a confirmation for my particular problem. I did a search prior, but yeah.

I drive an 04 auto G35, and my driver's door will not lock. The lock moves very very very little, but doesn't lock (even though the passenger side does and the alarm noise comes on). I can do it manually, but it's not working with the button inside the car, or on the keys....

What's the problem?

I think I'm out of warranty too.

 

door lock actuator

 

im having the same problem

 

Errr weird, it fixed itself for TODAYYYY... will keep you guys updated.

 

I've got the same problem, mine started acting up about two weeks ago. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Either way, be sure to make sure your door is locked after you park!

Infiniti wants $112 to diagnose the problem, for a total of ~$500 to fix ... seriously. I'm certain I've seen like a $50 DIY fix on here before. That might be the route to go as you're out of warranty.

 

Bump!

 

same with me
my drivers side will sometime unlock/lock
passenger side is fine
ill fix it when i want to fork out the money lol

 

why did you bump this? It was answered in the post immediately following the OP. Read the thread next time.

 

better than the passenger side....PITA

 

i had da exact same problem couple weeks back. thank god i still got my warranty!

 

actuator could be the problem. if it's intermittent the motor or mechanism inside could be going bad.
just my .02

 

Had this same issue fixed on my 04 Coupe last week. Parts = $230, labor =$135. Luckily it was covered under an extended warranty. I believe there is a DIY on here somewhere on how to fix it if you want to have a go at it yourself.

 

I have the same problem with my passenger door, ive had it like this for about 8 months now, i can just manually lock & unlock it myself, no biggie

 

wow, glad mine was replaced when I was still under warranty.

 

That's exactly why I bought an extended warranty because I knew any problems with this car were not going to be cheap. On that visit I had the driver's side lock and window fixed and both fuel sending units replaced and it came to $1,295.14!!!!! My deductible was only $100 and I got to drive a 3 year newer G35x for 3 days too. I have a year and a half left on my warranty so I seriously hope all the problems happen in that time.
