A few pics of the new motor and the actuator.

Another pic

Another with the new motor installed. I have not installed the Lexus coupling to this yet. I just wanted to show how the motor installed. Fits JUST like the factory motor.

Let me know if you have a question about something and want to see another or better pic.

Any links on where to get that exact same motor? It seems that the link that was provided for the exact drop in was bought up already.

Nvm, just found another listing. Any update on whether that motor works or not?

Look at the previous page for the link, and I personally confirmed that it works.

This needs to be made into a sticky me thinks. I have so many people PMing and IMing me now.

Does anyone know how to get the mods to make this a sticky?

I read through the whole thread but was wondering if the motor pointed out by bmpiazzola worked because it seems like he just put it together but not placed it back in the car. I was under the impression that he used a slightly different motor than slickgt1. So there could have been the possibility that it didn't work.

It should work. The motors are practically in spec as far as torque/speed goes.

Hey guys, I just ordered the motors from the same ebay link. The seller is also accepting best offers. I put in $3 bucks and it worked! I guess it only saves a little less than $2. Less than $8 dollars to fix the actuator is a steal! Thanks for the hard work!!

Same motors as SLICKGT1. We bought the same motors from the same auction on Ebay. You are right I have not put these back in there but, I put ones into my car that had to be soldered electically. They work fine. They where the motors from MicroBG. I did not comment on them cause it was hard toget them into the casing. Once I found the new motors on ebay. I revived this thread with an update.

Correct, bmpiazzola found the correct motors that are a direct swap. I bought those, and put one in right away. The locks are working fine all around. There are no weird noises, no weird locking habbits, no delays compared to the other locks, no hesitation, no nothing. These work exactly like the stock ones. All you need to do, is buy the motors, follow this thread exactly, and put in some elbow greese. You will have a fully functioning lock for $2 max, instead of $200. Yea it is not as easy as pumping gas, but if you have the tools, and some skill, this is the cheapest fix you will ever do on your car. Even if you outright buy all the tools for this project, you will still come out cheaper, and have tools left over.

I think it's sticky time.

what are the torque specs for putting the T-30 bolts back on the door to hold the actuator assembly to the door? I am in the middle of replacing mine...
