Great video taking apart the actuator gear box. I thought these work with solenoid instead of motor. I couldn't imagine why it went bad and you showed that clearly as to why. Glad to see you captured this video for permanent reference 👏 thank you.

Great video, I am going to do the exact same thing. Thanks! You did leave out one step that I always do. That is, the step where you slip with the knife and cut your hand.

I am just in the process of replacing the actuator assembly that has s new motor. USD. 13 on Ebay so well worth it. This video was great help getting to where I am now.

Thank you _ this is the best I've found for Toyota etc...

Fixing girl friends 2001 Lexus RX300. Just did the window actuator fix (Thanks KZread) which involved replacing a unit on the controller board ($28 part on Amazon and $20 to have local PC shop remove bad component and soder new one) and now all the windows go up and down! Now gonna tackle these guys. None of them work except the rear hatch door. $34 gets all four door actuator assemblies on EBay so I am going that route rather than deal with taking them apart to the the $2 part inside. Thanks so much through for detailed video on how to get to the main assembly.

is there a utube video for drivers side door lock actuator replacement... It's more complex because of the door lock attachment... I need help, half way thru the job but the actuator was long tubes going up to the door lock??? Can you help me?

Really very intelligent ideas... Sir, my car i20 front left door sometimes lock and unlock or halfway lock or halfway unlock when operated either by driver side inner central door lock handle or using key from outside the driver side. However, all 3 other doors are ok in both cases. Also, to be noted is that when either operated from the right left door inner lock handle or using key from its outside, this particular door operates normal lock and unlock system and all 3 others ok too. Please really help me some suggestions. Thanks.

This video is amazing and clear. With step by step. Thank you! Would you happen to have any video on the front door actuator replacement? I tried on the front door but I'm stuck on trying to get the window button wood panel off and also how to pull the lock assembly out to replace the actuator. I actually purchased a full actuator unit from ebay vs splitting open the actuator unit and replacing the little motor. I replaced the rear doors just fine following your clear video. Now I'm kind of stuck working on the front doors. I tried to pry the wood panel off just like the rear wood panel but it made a small crack sound and I had to stop. Thanks again for a wonderful video for the rear doors.

Thanks AGAIN for the video! I have successfully completed this on a Toyota Avalon. To help anyone else, the 2001 Toyo Avalon (and probably all 2000-04 models) uses a round shaft like the one in this video and has a 10 MM shaft. Search ebay for "FC-280PC-22125 (ROUND SHAFT)" the motor that works for Avalon models measure roughly Shaft (ROUND) 2mm diameter x 10mm length / Canister: 24.2mm Diameter (18.3mm on flat sides) x 30.5mm long Overall Length: 45.0mm (Tip to Tail)

Man, what a great Video, I've learned so much haha

Hi, I followed your instructions and bought 4 motors from ebay. Only the 2 rear doors and the driver door motors needed replacement. But when I finished this strange thing happens: Unlocking the doors using either the car key or the driver's central locking button, when the front doors unlock, the rear doors are locked. And when the front doors are locked the rear doors are unlocked. Can you figure out why? Are all motors the same or the Left door motors are different from the Right motors? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Thx for sharing. By any chance would you know what would cause the doors to keep making a clicking sound when you lock them? I replaced the front passenger actuator and the doors wouldnt lock or open by remote control. I disconnected the battery and checked all the fuses and it works now, but make a double clicking sound when locking the car.

From the locks. Sounds like all the doors all locking three times after I hit the lock button on the remote.

When reinstall make sure check it to see if the door handle plastic folk engages with the actuator's trigger. The trigger should stay inside the fork in order to open the door by pulling the door handle. If mistake, a lot more work to get the door to open.

thetrick4fun... My actuator seems to have plenty of some kind of factory grease. There seems to be a small bit of black stuff in just a few areas. Not sure if from motor or residual particles from me forcing clamshell open... Or both. Anyways I was originally going to add some lithium grease to whatever lube is currently in the gears but then I wondered if you can mix the lubes or not??? Then I googled it and it seemed like it might not be a good idea (since I dont know what the factory lube specifically was). Did U completely clean the gears of lube before putting on the new lithium or did U just add it to whatever was already in the clamshell? Did U use any specific kind of solvent? Waiting to hear back from you before I put the clamshell back together.

Wow literally was changing my door actuator and thought if I could take it apart and I tried but gave up rather just replace it

The large wheel inside the actuator is under spring load, so be careful to keep it in place when opening the actuator housing, otherwise it will be a chore getting it set back in the correct position.

Luciano, That is strange. Your motor probability has wrong polarity. You can take it apart and compare old motor and new motor if they have the same polarity. You can use 9v battery to do that.

thetrick4fun. Do you have a video showing how to diagnose that you need a new actuator? When you turn the door key, how are the other doors signaled to unlock? Is that part of the actuator as well? Thanks.

@thetrick4fun

6 жыл бұрын

No, I don't. It is not difficult to diagnose it. Usually, the motor doesn't break all of the sudden. Usually the actuator starts working bad by not locking the door all the way. Look the video at 0:18, the actuator is trying to lock the door. If everything is fine, when I lock my Lexus, it makes one short beep, and all doors are locked. When the actuator was bad, I locked doors, but there was no beep. All doors were locked, but one. So, I pressed the lock button again, and at that time the car made 2 beeps, and all the doors were locked after that. The car's computer checks if all actuators are locked, and after that makes the beep. If at least one of actuators is not locked it doesn't make beep until it is locked. When I locked the car first time the bad actuator locked a door a half way. When I tried to lock second time, the actuator finished locking (all doors were locked) and the car made two beeps - one for first time, and another one for second.
