My dude, thank you. I have been freaking out about my handle door rod not being right and worrying that I bent it, until I read your comment about the adjustment screw. Thank you so much for making a thorough video
Only video i've been able to find on youtube for how to repair a door lock actuator. got a 99 durango and havent droven it in over a month. got the part from ebay the other day. just wanted to say thank you for this. 20 year old kid trying to figure out how to fix my beaut.
Thank you! Your explanation about the tensioner screw saved me! Thats all that was keeping me from opening the door from the outside, the little allen head screw had rattled loose and fell out. Wish all repairs were this easy 😆 Thanks again!
Do you remember the actual part name/ number? I’m having a really hard time finding it in WA. I have a 99 dodge Dakota sport. All the pictures of the parts at autozone have certain levers missing.
Hmm that’s strange, that could possibly be the factor but it sounds like it might be a fault in your wiring somewhere. Not sure exactly, hopefully it’s an easy fix for you! Thanks for watching!
I have problems with my key fob driverside door wont open with 🔑 it just turns to the left and right . so to get into my truck I got to open the driverside with the. 🔑 . my question is could the driver door stop my key fob from working from opening and closeing and setting the alarm . 2002 dodge dokota 3.9 half cab
I’m having a similar problem with my key fob after I replaced my door lock actuator.. not sure if it’s related to that or if my battery in the fob just needs replaced.. it worked fine for awhile after the replacement and then just randomly stopped. I can use the fob to lock it but the unlock button doesn’t work.. not 100% sure. I haven’t had time to look into it yet.. thanks for watching!
On my truck(a 2000 Dakota) my passenger side plunger. when I go to lock or unlock my door both ways, I can clearly see that my plunger isn’t sitting flush with the door panel. (going up or down as far as it needs to)in either direction, is my door in a pinch somewhere or is my latch out of alignment.??? I can’t figure it out someone please help!!!! This is also keeping my auto locks(15mph)from working
Good lil video dude, it helped me😁just a couple little pointers, it was easier for me to attach the long inside door handle onto the latch before I put it in the door, was hard to get to in there for me. And make damn sure not to over tighten the 3 bolts that hold the latch in, because it WILL jam up the mechanism. And put some locktite on em
I bought mine with 72k miles about 7 years ago and it currently has almost 103k miles on it now. Never had any issues with it. Just routine oil changes! Thanks for watching!
Saw big chungus in the background,that was tedious work,my brother in law let me borrow his work truck one weekend and checked the oil and no shit,no oil on the dipstick lol! Went to the local auto parts store and got 5 quarts of 20w 40 oil and dumped them in and checked the oil an hour later and bingo! Full,Sunday night took it back and the next night he called me and said what did you do to my truck it runs great,I laughed and told him I put oil in it and he said it dont smoke like crazy anymore,I said that because the pump was sucking the sludge that was in the pan instead of oil,needless to say I'm divorced from his sister now lol

Heya can you tell me where you bought the actuator and whether or not it works for both sides, both left and right doors.
Do you remember the actual part name/ number? I’m having a really hard time finding it in WA. I have a 99 dodge Dakota sport. All the pictures of the parts at autozone have certain levers missing.
I have this problem with my durango and it continues to lock repeatedly if I replace it will that fix the problem

Thanks man, I’m glad it helped you out some, and I appreciate the tips! Thanks for watching!
Doing the exact thing on my 2005 dakota driver front, at this very moment...just wild
Should be a quick and easy fix! Hopefully my video helped you out a bit! Thanks for watching!
Damn any suggestions for a manual door lock on a 96
Hmm I’m not too sure about that one.. sorry about that. The inner structure of the doors should be fairly similar if I had to guess.
How has the 4.7 treated you? There’s a 4.7 2001 Dakota down the road for sale and I’m thinking of buying it but I’ve heard mixed reviews
