Thank you for making this video. It helped a lot! Everything went exactly as shown.
I just followed you and had this job done in no time. Thank you so much for the easy fix.
Man great camera angles
Thanx for sharing this one , made the operation a breeze. This is excactly what's great with the web for us car guys ; you can bet someone else has encountered similar problems to yours . Happy owner of '05 Rumble Bee 2wd
+localsheriff 1977 Thanks for watching, glad we were able to help! 1aauto.com
great video this is the right way to do it, I think the fast way is do not remove speaker and I did not pull out the window glide after removing the two screws I pulled up and used a piece of wire to hold it up out of the way. I removed two of the three rod retainers I left the one going to the door handle on, you can feed it out with the old latch (drop latch straight down and it will feed right out) easier to remove and install on to the new latch I did this on the passenger side)
Great video. Thank you!
Awesome video 👍🏼 first time doing anything like this and I accomplished it on the first try!!!! Thank you very much for your help!!!
Thanks I was sceptical that it would fix my problem but it's all good great video
Thank you for the video! Another video you posted to where I fixed my vehicle myself, being a woman. I only had to pull off only half of the outer door weather shield , I did not completely remove it or speaker either. Super easy with your video, Thanks again👍😊 *my replacement parts were bought from you , 1A Auto.

Hello Pablo. I'm looking at the video now. Did this fix your problem?
Hello Pablo. I'm looking at the video now. Did this fix your problem?
good video,I like knowing what i am getting into beforehand,you covered it all thank you
Thanks for watching. We also carry the door lock actuator shown in this video on our website. Here is a link to them if any of our viewers needs to replace theirs. goo.gl/g9ltVL
Awesome and easy thanks.
Thanks for the good vid...l will show my appreciation by trying your site for parts in the future.
Thanks 🙏🏾 your video helped me out a lot ….
Thanks for the video, it helped me replace my unit successfully! and no, don't have to remove speaker or disconnect the mirror. At least I didn't. Thanks again!
Good call on the speaker and mirror. Only need to disconnect them if for some reason you want to remove the entire door liner like in this video, which is not needed. Just peel back enough to get to the actuator.
Awesome video! Helped every step of the way!

Enjoy the way you help me a great deal
The fact that the solenoid wears out makes sense. The companies are making a killing of of replacements though. almost $100. Steel, copper and electricity.
Hello guys! You have best videos and explanations! For working on the vehicles, im about to buy 2 new lock actuators front left and right for a 2006 dodge ram 1500 st 3.7L manual transmission! I just would like to know if my truck lock and unlock all doors with the key 🔑 manually! With the double turn on the lock door ! Please help ! 😩
thanks for the video, is it the same procedure for the single cab (two door) ? I know the part number is different just wondering if the swap out is the same, thanks
Is their any way to test if it's the acurater without pulling it out my lock stays down randomly and then randomly works just curious to see if this is problem 100%
Do you have any videos on the MANUAL LOCK ASSEMBLY?
My rear door power lock makes a loud screeching sound and will not unlock door.Is it the actuater that needs replacing??Thanks
2 years late, changing mine today. same noise, hold it & it unlocks. battery was draining randomly over a few weeks. pretty sure this is problem there. will update, got mine on Amazon. $$s tight with Covid19
So, we don't have to mess with the window. Just roll it up all they way? great video.
+outlaw4a Thanks for checking us out!
I installed new unit for door lock now when I go to unlock with key its super tight to the point the key feals like its going to bend.
The exterior lock rod came off. So I need some plastic thingy to install the rods without falling out
nice videos
+Ivan Hernandez Thanks for watching. We're glad you liked it. 1aauto.com 866-403-3393
That hemi badging under the fender flare drives me nuts
i want to replace the door actuator but my door on my dodge is stuck an wont open , how can i open it
So my door is closed but the door lock actuator doesn't want to release the pin. I'm screwed right?
Help me a great do to solve the problem
Great video. Would you know if the problem I'm having is the actuator? I am unable to pull the "knob" to the unlock position, causing the door to stay locked. To enter the vehicle, I have to open the rear door and reach forward and pull the handle open. I'd like to repair it myself but have no idea what to purchase prior to dismantling the door.
This is exactly what has happened to me yesterday. I'm doing the same opening the door procedure also. I reach from the back door to grab the handle and I'm able to open it. What was your fix? Thank you
The key fob wouldn't unlock the door. The manual key in the outside key hole wouldn't unlock the door. Only way I can get the door open is pulling the handle from the inside. But as soon as the door is opened, the lock latch goes right back to the lock position
ive been opening my drivers door the past year this way uncertain of what to fix still guess i will have to try the whole unit as well. fob or key wont unlock.
I did the replacement. All is connected and wired correctly, but when I push the control lock and unlock, it locks, but doesn’t unlock. I took it all apart and re did everything. The same issue exists with locking, but not unlocking.
What should I do and/or what am I to look for?
Great video, but your part is $24 MORE than auto zone 😭
about the same on Dakotas?
What to do when the metal part that the t30 screws are cracked at
Why would you need to replace this actuator part? Wont lock? Making noise?
would the door lock actuator cause my automatic locks to constantly unlock my doors while i am driving? this just started 2 days ago, and it is getting worse and driving me crazy, seems to have started doing it mostly when i turned towards the right, but now it is nearly constantly doing it anytime i drive, sometimes now the doors wont lock, just stay unlocked?
This is also very similar to what is happening to me... When you start the truck and go to take off right as the gears switch from 1st to 2nd the doors will auto lock. Well my doors keep trying to auto lock constantly. I have to time it perfectly and push the manual lock button on the master switch to stop it from continuing to try to auto lock... What was your issue and what was the fix? Thank you
Did it work?
My drivers door on my '06 ram 1500 quad cab will not turn on my dome light when open. Will this procedure fix that issue? I can not find a "typical" button/switch inside the door jamb that would actuate the dome light so I'm presuming that switch is located in the latch assembly. I can not find any reference to this on line so far. Thx in advance. p.s. my power locks do not activation this door (intermittently) or either of the the back doors (always). I presume this is tied to this procedure as well.
+Don Nielsen We do apologize but we are unable to diagnose this. We would recommend having it checked before you start replacing parts.
That just happened to my 08 Dodge Ram 1500 quad cab Lone Star Edition. When I set the alarm for the door locks nothing happens. The manual release doesn't work either. At the dealership they were going to charge me almost 1,800 bucks to do the job.
They don't call them the stealership for nothing, lol.
is the same for Durango 2004???
+David Valdez It may be a different procedure on your application. We currently do not have an auto repair video for this particular year, make and model. Thank you for asking. 1aauto.com
Want to know how to replace lock on a 1989 Dodge Ram
Why is 2002 not included?
is 1A auto OEM parts from mopar? i want exact parts not Chinese copys
+adam johnson Most of our parts are aftermarket, but we do carry some OEM parts. The listing would tell you if the part was an OEM.
Whats the reason it need to be changed?? Its the locks a common problem
+Morten Garvåg Thank you for checking us out. After a while of usage the electrical component in this part gets weakened and will not fully lock or unlock the door(s). 1aauto.com
It turns out that the solenoid in the actuator is a weak link in the assy, just google it and you'll realize it has happened to thousands! Eventually you can risk what (almost) happened to me; if you leave the cab with engine idling you won't be able to enter the truck unless one of the windows are open or there is a passenger in the cab. If it occurs the driver door can only be opened via the inside door paddle handle !! Greetings from Indre Østlandet
This is too much to remove 😩😩😩
