awhile back i posted a link asking for help on door lock actuator. about 4 months ago my driver door lock stopped working from remote. had to open it by key. so i took my car to the dealer and they quoted me 500 big ones. so i went home and went on CL and got some info (thanx guys) then went on ebay and bought 5 MOTORS for the door lock actuator for $6.50 with free shipping!!!! they only sold them in a pack of 5 cause they were so cheap. i took off my door panel. took out the lock assembly and replaced the actuator motor. after putting it in the motor rattled because i broke the seal on the case that was holding it. so i took some little clamps and super glued the seal and now it works just like it did before. dealer charge 500 bucks i got it for 6.50 savings of 493.50... very happy!!!

 

Awesome! Thanks for sharing

It always feels good to save money

 

Even cheaper isn't it. $6.50 divided by 5 motors = $1.30

Sell the other 4 motors

 

Now wait a min,, you have to take into consideration the amount of time at $129.95/Hour.... LOLL by the time you researched this, worried about it, actual time fixing the problem,, you would be maybe higher than the $500. Hey don't forget to charge the time with bragging about the job at the water cooler.. LOL

Nice job

 

Hey, you willing to sell one of those motors? Thanks.

yeah...some stuff i could do myself, but i pay someone else to do it because it is actually "losing $". i could use that time to do something else and make even more $.

 

Do you have the manufacturer name and/or model number for the motor you used? What is your vehicle? I have this problem with a 2003 LS430.

 

Yeah, I would be willing to buy one of those motors?
