I bought all 4 door actuators from ebay and they were all marked for fitting my vehicle and a few Toyota vehicles. The rear ones are giving me issues though.

^ This is the exact one I bought and it looks like it's the right one, but in reality, the white tab on the bottom is different and I had to swap it out from the old unit, but when I got everything back in the door, I noticed that it is not the 4 pin connector, but a 2 pin connector. Am I missing something or does that part straight up not fit? Thanks guys.

yeah, they dont fit. i bought one too thinking what a steal! seeing as how they run $70-$150 new. I told the seller how wrong they were and they would refund it if i pay shipping of course. idk if you can though since you took it apart.

Thanks . I guess I'll pay a bit more money for proper OEMs or something.

Looks like people are having proba with the right rear. Just buy the $5 motor and rebuild your OE actuator

this guy i bought all my other door locks from, if your willing to spend a little more money they have a lifetime warrenty so when they do die you get them replaced super easy and cheap i had an issue with one before and they were quick and professional about it

Thanks everyone. I'm going to go with a seller that lists only the GS300 as a fitment option and also verified by email that they are all 4 pin connectors. They were $79 and $83.

Dang $320 bux! Ive done full set with the mabuchi motors for $180 in a few hours.

No kidding, I don't understand why people are still buying these expensive motors when it's $5 for the mabuchi motor.

Second - if you already have an actuator that does not fit - just take the motor out and swap it to your original actuator and you're done.
