The reviews on Amazon indicate this part doing different things. I am having a problem with my lock mechanism on the passenger side door (not the sliding door but the front door) on a 2006 dodge caravan. When you push the buttons to make the lock open...

My mechanic told me that the buzzing noise is the lock actuator. I haven't yet installed this part but I've been told this will fix my problem, which sounds just like yours.

Yes. Auto lock / unlock will work after replacing - but I had issue w door opening at all - mechanism for opening door w interior / exterior handles didnt work. Resulted in door not opening at all - this is $80 dorman vs $240 Oem, so significant save if you want to take risk

Hi, I simply contacted Amazon, explained that I purchased the above item with in 6 months of it failing. The part was defective. Amazon sent me out a new one within a day or so, I returned the defective part, my car been running great ever since... So maybe you also have recieved an defective part as well, write an email to Amazon, hope you have the same outcome as me.

The part will replace a broken cable which is indicated by the half doors not able to be opened (I'm not sure what you mean by "lock up". That part is for the driver's side rear door. I'm sure there is another for the passenger side.

I had the same problem. Look down from the top of the chair into the hole the seat back should go into. You should see a clear oval passage (matches the shape of the back post). If that is partially blocked, the locking mechanism is misaligned. Look next at the ends of the locking mechanism -- both the knob end and the opposite end (plastic, D-shaped pieces on my chair) should be flush with or stick out a little bit from the square metal bracket. line up the D-shaped plastic pieces with the matching holes in the metal bracket and then tap the end that sticks out too far until things line up better. I had to loosen/tighten the knob to get things lined up properly before tapping into position (it need a pretty good whack to be honest). I ended up using a rubber mallet to persuade compliance! once the mechanism is aligned, you may need to loosen the knob to allow the back to slide in, then tighten and you should be good to go.

I believed it only controls the locking and unlocking of the door. However, without it in place, the door will not unlock for the power motor to slide the door open.

I did not have this problem. It sounds to me that one of these things is likely:1. You installed it wrong and you need to take it apart to reinstall. 2. Manufacturer defect.Hopefully you did not close the door and end up on the outside, because then you will have to try sliding something in between the door to push the lock out of the way. It will move even if the door is locked.

If it is installed correctly, all you do is bring it to the horizontal position and it locks itself. To open the door just raised it to the vertical position, and that all. Thanks.

I'm pretty sure there is a difference you need to be specific on what door actuator you want to replace if it's the passenger door you need to get a passenger door actuator should be able to find part number on google or maybe even amazon

My Yukon driver door wouldn't unlock with the key fob or the inside button. I changed out the actuator, and it is sporadic now. I believe my problem is in the relay or some other electrical gremlin. Be sure to look up the YouTube video on the changing of this actuator. There are alot of fasteners on the door panels.

Yes it worked great on my 05 dodge grand caravan. It was pretty tough to turn but it worked with good leverage

This is a universal door lock that has two wires, it works by reversing the polarity of the wires. If you can find the wires on your vehicle that will do this then it is a matter of setting it up on the lock linkage to lock and unlock. You can try this link to fix yours http://www.rav4world.com/forums/96-4-3-general/82750-power-door-lock-actuator-repair-fix-your-door-locks-free-3.html It maybe better to stick with OEM this is really setup for manual locks to convert to power.

This only locks and unlocks the door. It is in no way related to the motor that moves the door.

Hello LeeWee. Maybe. My best suggestion is to contact the manufacturer (Yakima) of your product first before you make the decision of hiring a locksmith. Bert Camp Rigid Hitch Amazon Sales

this is a fit all door actuator. it can lock/unlock. a very easy install. used it on my 2001 Escape to lock/unlock rear hatch. you may have to use linkage from old lock to help with install.If it won't lock or unlock ,reverse the wire hookup.
