Door lock actuator?

Dreams190 · Fri, Jun-08-2007, 04:46:45 AM

My passenger side door lock decided to stop working with my keyless/alarm system. Wont lock or unlock with the button on the console. Still works manually with the key. Any common failures/problems that I don't know about?

My door won't open electronically or by inserting the key... Does that mean there are other problems besides the actuator? or can having a bad actuator alone make it so that you can't unlock the door by inserting the key?

Its the actuator happened to my pass door 2 years ago.

If the actuator is bad, you should still be able to open the door manually with the key. Does it unlock/lock with the center lock button inside the car?
