Anyone have a DIY step by step? I just ordered the part for my drivers side.
Thanks for your help!!!! :) |
Here is a link to where you can order OEM parts includeing the OEM actuator for about half the price at the dealership.
BTW- #12 is the door lock actuator http://www.trademotion.com/partlocat...layCatalogid=0 |
Not hard to replace........Just need to remove the window & metal panel that holds the window motor from the door so that you may get to the actuator

I got to thank jfpound for this idea. Somebody should sticky this thread. If I replaced the stock actuator, I know it will break eventually. A new passenger actuator for the coupe is $144, $200 at the dealership. So I gave this a shot. I went to Car Toys and bought a generic actuator for $20. Then went to Autozone and bought $10 worth of connectors and 18 gauge wire.
It took about four hours of trial and error, but think thing works real well. |
trouble posting

testing....

Thanks to JFPOUND for the initial concept and FIREFOX for answering a couple of wiring questions.
Definitely would be a good idea to have a Dremel tool. Went to Lowe’s and picked up a aluminum bar that was long enough to produce two brackets. 1. Measure, cut & bend the bar to fit in between the two ribs. 2. Drill the holes necessary to mount the actuator. http://img371.imageshack.us/img371/7...239b217eu5.jpg 3. Mount actuator to the bracket. ( I opted to screw it in through the back). http://img371.imageshack.us/img371/3...89ba34fap0.jpg http://img371.imageshack.us/img371/6...ee48b33bm1.jpg 4. Cut this part off inorder to give your clamp room to slide. ( I used my Dremel tool to cut it then a grinding attachment bit to grind it down a bit). BEFORE http://img371.imageshack.us/img371/6...158b363gk7.jpg AFTER http://img371.imageshack.us/img371/1...da59597im4.jpg 5. Drill the holes necessary to enable the rod to pass through. http://img371.imageshack.us/img371/9...e58b88aum0.jpg 6. Mount your actuator to the door panel. ( Don't forget to slide your clamp in place before you mount the bracket or you will need to dismount later to fit it in. http://img371.imageshack.us/img371/9...e309472df0.jpg 7. Remove the door speaker and right below you will find the wire harness for the OEM actuator, pull the purple & blue wires out slightly. I opted tap into the wires rather then cut them and put connectors. http://img371.imageshack.us/img371/9...87ba5e6en6.jpg http://img371.imageshack.us/img371/5...c35b8bcdb4.jpg 8. I opted to pull the wires through this rubber wire housing. http://img371.imageshack.us/img371/2...78d961fgk8.jpg 9. Clamp down the rod and oem actuator wire together ( Do not over tighten cause you'll crack the clamp.) http://img371.imageshack.us/img371/1...2editedat3.jpg 10. Fit the wire with the desired connectors ( i purchased connectors that matched those that came with the actuator ) and connect to the actuator and test. |
Works really well.
Will do the drivers side once i get a new clamp, one of them came stripped. Took me about 3hrs.....I don't see the drivers side taking more than an hour now that I know what to exactly expect. |
nice ..will have to try

Driver's side took me a hair over an hour to do and still works like a champ considering the way my children close the doors:icon11: |
