Thanks guys I was able to switch my actuator largely using this video. I would note though that when you are popping the plastic part of the rod it helps to push on the rod itself at the same time to pop it off. I was stuck just yanking on the plastic until I pushed on the rod at the same time then it was very easy (can push the rod back into the plastic as well). Also you can look through the holes on the side of the door to see the rods easily. Those would be the tips I would add, thanks again!

@@equinoxgts thx for the video, recently bought a 2000 celica and both the door lock actuators are busted so nice to know what's gone be waiting for me....if i can find a actuator for the left door otherwise i'm gone have to outsource this problem >.> somehow plenty of used and new right door one's but left one's are scarse where i live(also gotta replace the right door due to rust so scouting for any information related to the doors and taking them appart/off to find out what that will involve >.>)

This was not an easy fix and I don't know we would have been able to replace the actuator without your video. Thanks very much for taking the time to record and post this. Super helpful!

After watching this entire video, I realized I don’t even have a celica.

Thanks very much for the very informative video. Thumbs up. One suggestion...I wish you had included the putting it back together procedure...I mean, yes, for sure, it really is just the opposite of the "take apart" procedure, but quite often, the putting back together is trickier than the taking apart or has a tip or trick, or something to watch out for or remember, etc, or, it's just easier to be able to work right alongside the video, while it's showing the put back together procedure. But again...thanks very much...

Long ass? What is long ass? Why isn't just the word long sufficient? Is it cool to sound dumb?

Great walkthrough, really helped with your zoomed in shots. Just replaced mine today, two tips I have. 1) There is a little sticker covering a hole, if you remove that you can see inside the door and see the two rods for when you need to put those plastic tabs on/off. 2) . Make sure the locking cable is clipped in by the handel far enough back. If you put the cable on and test it out (before hanging the door back on) and it looks like the lock just doesn't go all the way, try moving the cable back just a little.

Thank you !!! I had the same issue with driver side actuator ! Following your video it was very easy for me to do the repair myself. Saved a lot of bucks !! I just had trouble with the golden nut holding the lock, mine was REALLY blocked on the bolt, so I had to saw it in two for releasing it ! Aside from this problem it was everything quite easy. Thanks again !

Thanks for the video, I follow you step by step and successfully replaced the actuator, the tricky part for me was to pull the bar off from the door handle, that was hard and took me a while, and the other part I had trouble with was to plug the harness back into the new actuator, somehow the harness won’t go in and I have to modify the actuator so I can finally fully plug that in, other than that the whole process was smooth and easy, thanks to your video!

thanks. I have the same problem after replacing mine. Good to know the correction for cable travel. l

My tip for everyone is dont unscrew anything until you popped out all the rods. Its easier to pop those out when the actuator is still screwed in because they’re in place & not moving. When you unscrew the actuator first, it starts to wiggle & it makes it difficult to pop out the rods. So do that first then unscrew the bolts that holds the actuator in place.

Thanks for a great video. Recently acquired a 2000 Celica with just a few things that need some work. There were key fobs so I ordered a pair and went to program them and was partially successful except for the drivers side. The fob would not program because the drivers door would not lock, leading to a faulty lock actuator. Your video will save me a good bit of time getting this fixed. Thanks and keep up the good work with the videos.

See if you can still hear the actuators when you lock and unlock. If you can, maybe the metal rods that connect to it got loose. Or check the cables that connect to the handle/lock switch and see if they’ve come loose.
