@@tonymanriquez4796 I fixed it by removing the window trim from the outside, and sticking a long thin flathead to manually reset the release latch for the outside door handle in order to open the door and finally remove the door panel.
awesome video instruction. My 2011 Tacoma has a different symptom. The doors lock but the manual lever on the drivers side does not move. In other words, if I use the fob to lock the doors, they lock. But the door lever never moves. I can move the lever back and forth but the actuator won't move it. I removed the door panel and the linkage is connected to the lever. I haven't checked it at the actuator though.
Hello i have a 2011 tacoma toyota and the back left door locks and opens from the outside but not from the inside , do you have any idea what the issue could be?
Did you change the actuator motor and this way it’s happening or did it just start happening. It could be your child safety lock if it got flipped by accident I would check that first. Or if you did change the actuator motor, you might not have attached all the components.
I have a Toyota Corolla 97 sprayed WD-40 on all 4 doors on the actuator in and out looks like it worked I think the wires were getting rusted 2 doors we're giving me problems
Please tell me where did you buy car door Loc motors online? What’s part to fit for 2002 Toyota Sienna CE? I looked around, but I am still not sure. Thank you very much.
I have 2002 Toyota Sienna CE. Normally, after opening driver door, I unlock or lock for other doors just using the unlock and lock button from driver’s door. Now it doesn’t work that way. I have to unlock or lock manually each door. I have fobs but don’t work as well. Would you mind to tell me what’s wrong. Thank you very much.
I had a faulty computer that fried all of my motors. Replaced the computer, replaced all 4 of the motors. The motors work now, but my back right door is permanently locked now. I can't open it from the inside or outside handle. Reached inside and tried moving the lever by hand, it moves but the door is still locked shut. Anyone have an idea on how to open the door? I'm guessing the latch in the metal portion of the actuator is stuck or something moved when I put the clamshell back together.
This happened to me . The only way to fix the problem is to remove the door from the hinges and remove the inside panel (unless it is off already) the you can get to the latch and open the door . You would be better with 2 people but I did it by myself (it’s hard )
Thank you so much for the video helped me a lot I disassembled the mechanism thanks to you I have Yaris 2012 and it's the same mechanism I did not buy a new engine I renovated what was already inside There was a lot of dirt I just cleaned with carburetor spray And everything went back to work as usual Thank you very much very much without your video I would not have been able to disassemble the mechanism and return it to its original state
I think that they are all the same ! It’s best to know just by checking on line . It’s one of 2 types 20mm “D” shaft or round shaft. It also could be 10mm round or “D” shaft . I would bet it is the 20mm “D”shaft . And you could just order the both 20 mm and 10 mm and just return
I just took my wife 2011 Tacoma Pre-Runner and was quoted $125 for a check the $600 a door in Hawaii. So yeah Servco Toyota Hawaii wanted to charge me close to $3000 for all.
Yes that’s what it was here also in San Diego . If you got the time it is well worth doing . Just remember when opening the clam shell where the motor is be careful also to give it a try before closing the door .
A question I have the same procedure with the driver's door and the back driver of the driver when I finished I try the test and when I pressed open, close when you close the closing the other two doors on the opposite side operate normal
@@eloquent-nuance any time . I agree 350 to 400$ each is outrageous but the fact that we can do it our self is like sticking it to the dealer . That’s how I looked at it . Hope that helps and good luck … 👍🏼
Worked great for me! About $45 in parts and tools from Amazon. 1.5 hours labor. Be very careful with the clamshell, it is a pain to get fully open, plenty of opportunity for error on that portion. Thanks for the video!
Hi Tony, It’s not the handle that’s the problem, I can move that up and down from inside the compartment. It’s the lock or safety lock that’s the problem.
What about the cables going to the switch that locks and unlocks . If you follow that down to the clam chill you should be able to manually unlock the actuator.
Hi Tony, thank you for getting back to me. I really screwed this up. After I closed the door I did everything I could to unfreeze the lock. Finally I drilled out the plastic clam shell and can see the interior with a mirror. I think its possible its either frozen or its the child safety lock. Any advice would be helpful, thank you again.
Vic Ferrari sorry to hear about what happened. The other thing you can do is unbolt the door from the hinge and then remove the panel and get to the lock that way but you might need another person to help hold the door . I got it by myself but it was a struggle. Don’t mess with the clam shell all you need to do is get the latch to open and you shoybe able to do it by hand if you can reach it . It’s the plastic piece that I show you in the video
Doyouevenstravabro? So the latch is not over the plastic arm that hangs down . The Arden and the door lock should engage threw a horse shoe shape part to activate the handel
Thank you for an outstanding video. I took my door panel off this past weekend( with no small difficulty) and upon seeing that the rear door opened with a motor and not mechanically was ready to pay to have it fixed. When I got to the point of the video that mentioned the child safety lock I realized I’m a big dumb animal. The door opens just fine from the inside now. Aside from that. You really made a thorough, easy to follow, directorial. Thank you. Now if you only made one for my rear window not going up. Goes down just fine from the rear passenger seat, but only goes up from the drivers door control. Again. GREAT JOB!! Thanks
You did great! Lots of good information for me as I have to do the same on a 98 camry.This is the 10th vid I watched on this procedure and probably the best!!!
Should probably test the electronics prior to completely re-installing in case it didn't work, don't want to have to redo all that work again case the motor was bad or miss connected.
Tony, Any Clue if the Gen3 Tacomas have the same door lock actuator? I have a 2016 door lock actuator that just failed. I'd love to be able to do this repair.
Be very careful when you split the case, real slow otherwise your day just became a lot harder. I removed the lower window frame vs working around it, only a minute and two 10mm bolts. I kept strict control of the top cover when unlatching the clips. Also, you do not need to remove the cables from the door handle, remove Phillips screw, slide door handle assembly back and remove all as one unit. With the rear lower window frame removed, much easier to work inside the door. Great video, will get you success
Bob , Thanks for the commets greatly appreciated. That was my fist time video and doing the repair .Your added in site and comment will help orthers . Thanks Tony
Hey Tony great video! I have a 2012 Tacoma and all of the locks work fine except for one rear door that will unlock (with the electric lock) but will not lock unless I manually flip the lock on that door. Do you think this would be a motor issue since the motor works to unlock and just not to lock? Any thoughts you might have would be appreciated, thanks. Matt
Hello Mike , Funny you should mention that .That is the same way that mine started .I could unlock it with the remote but, had to manually lock by the lever when ever I left the truck .After time it would not work at all by the remote .
The motor I found eas on Ebay .. Machubichi 20mm long shaft .it looks like the lettr D on the end of the shaft .( not round) also called long D spindle
I was having issues locking the driver door. It would half lock then unlock on it's own. The motor I bought had no slot on the shaft, but it was nothing a file and some time couldn't fix. Saved a good chunk of change because of this video, much appreciated.
Any ideas? My driver door won’t open, locks sounds like they’re working but handles won’t trigger the latch to release
it would still be beneficial to take the door apart and check all cables going to the lock mechanism. one end could e broken or disconnected. and some times the moter gears are stripped..

Are all the motors the same size all the way around? I have a 2015 Tacoma and was wondering if your setup is the same as mine?
I think that they are all the same ! It’s best to know just by checking on line . It’s one of 2 types 20mm “D” shaft or round shaft. It also could be 10mm round or “D” shaft . I would bet it is the 20mm “D”shaft . And you could just order the both 20 mm and 10 mm and just return
now my front doors are acting up.... are the front doors procedure the same as the back? is there anything different that I have to look for?
No there is nothing different just on the driver side mor plugs due to the window controls on that side but , other than that about the same
I just took my wife 2011 Tacoma Pre-Runner and was quoted $125 for a check the $600 a door in Hawaii. So yeah Servco Toyota Hawaii wanted to charge me close to $3000 for all.

Hi thanks for the video, do you have a part number, can seen to find the replacement motors
If you look threw my previous post at a gent an name “bob “ the part # is there . Found on eBay . Hey the Flat shaft “D” . 20mm long
Manuchi is the name
Bob Flynn post !
A question I have the same procedure with the driver's door and the back driver of the driver when I finished I try the test and when I pressed open, close when you close the closing the other two doors on the opposite side operate normal
rocke rodriguez not sure I understand the question
Is it doing the opposite of what it should be doing ? If that is the case Your wiring is off some how
@@tonymanriquez4796 thank you
Buy any right size motor, swap the brush or caps. Out always the carbon brush that failed. No worry about the length, flat axle, etc.
eBay .. 2pack Manuchi actuator motor . 20mm log with a “D” shaft ..
Does it have to be the 20mm or can i get away with the 10mm?
errolheadful it has to be 20 mm . The shaft would be to short and not spin the gears to engage the lock..
@@eloquent-nuance no . Still working to this Day …I think I had to replace one of them

Did you already put the inside panel on ?
If you did not you can reach your hand in and release the latch by hand . You can also do that if you have. The panel on just harder
The next thing to check is the child safety lock .
