Anyone Replace There Door Lock Actuator?
Well i think the lock actuator on my drivers side door is goin out. It makes a noise when i lock it, it locks but when it does it sounds like something stripping out. but when i unlock it sounds normal. anyone ever run into the problem or have replaced this part?

I never replaced mine. But if youre wondering how hard of a job it is, its not bad to take them in and out. My passenger side went to SH#T on me, in fact it was bad when I bought the truck. I did the procedure I found online, pulled it apart, stuck a piece of aluminum foil around that square plate inside of it, ziptied it back together and it works like new now.

Hey scottsphoto2,
I know your post goes back a few months, and I'm not finding any answers to your question, so my question may just **** you off. But, I am in the same boat. '97 F150 with actuators that are slow (at best). So when I pulled the door panel, I found that my actuator is riveted to the door. Aside from the questions that brings up, I find that there really isn't alot of room to be digging around in the door. Did you ever get yours fixed? If so, can you give me a little over-view of your procedure? And, if your job isn't done yet, one way or the other, I plan to tackle this. If I have any success I will post what I know.
Thanks,
Doulie
