Default Driver side front door lock actuator

Hi guys,

I asked the question in the long sticky thread above but got no answer and struggled to find it in searches.

I am looking for the oem part#/price for a driver side front door lock actuator.

For that matter, can someone provide the part# for all four of them?

Thank you

For the fronts you'll have to get the whole door lock assy and the rears you can just get the rear actuators. If your interested i have the front and rears available. PM me if interested.

Thank you jokester.

Yup, well aware of Sewell and part of my uncertainty (which was cleared up above) is that you do actually have to purchase the whole assembly.

Looks like it is 69320.

Now before I place an order, are there any aftermarket alternatives to this? Those are pricey!

Yes, you'll find in our DIY page that you can buy the old school RC car motors and open the actuator up and replace the motor I bought mine already, just havent done the work.

They sure did (minus the $250 deductible). The total job cost $500 with parts and labor.

Doors work great again, woot!

Auto as in they didn't lock on their own.
You had to press the remote numerous times to get the doors unlocked.
One day you came out and oh my doors don't lock anymore.

It's what I was asking..

Yup. whether it was the remote clicker or the lock/unlock button on the inside door panel, the driver side door didn't lock/unlock unless I manually locked it by by hand or by key. Hope that answers your question.

Yea, basically you'll hear a click cause the motor isnt strong enough anymore to push and pull the cable. But our fingers can push and pull with no problem.

Cool. Mine I have to hit the remote multiple times (2-3) before the door (front) unlock. I just wanted to know if this was the beginning of the door lock problem.
