Do you need to replace the lock as well as the actuator? My L Front passenger door lock sounds as if the gears are stripped.

No, the locks and the power actuator are separate. If you can still turn the key fine the lock is okay.

Nope...I just had to replace the actuator and that was it. Everything else worked fine for me.

No, we did not have to replace the lock itself.....only the actuator. When your existing actuator fails the door lock makes a hideous LOUD sound when you press the unlock button ---- this time it was the driver side that failed but last year the passenger side actuator needed to be replaced & it has worked perfectly ever since we replaced that one. The sound it makes when the actuator fails is almost indescribable with words but just know it is very loud and quite ugly --- you definitely know something is going wrong!

Mine made the same sound. I replaced the actuator and it fixed the problem.

I only have one key left and the piece covering the lock button is missing so the chip is exposed, it constantly opens and locks when I hit the button. It looks like I can order a replacement cover for that key, and I want to order an extra key because my other set of keys was stolen. Am I an the right track?

yes it should having to wait because the sensor does not recognize the key, itis like a miss fire. it is starting to go bad mine did the same thing. it was like that for 1.5 years then just locked up. SO I HAD TO PICK THE LOCK TO CHANGE IT, IT IS EASIER TO CHANGE WHILE IT IS STILL TURNING. LOL.

For my car it was. If I remember correctly there was an isolation foam glued to the original. I just took it off and put it in the new one. Take pics of our disassembly so that you don't miss any steps when putting the actuator back together. Good luck!!

I would say take it apart and see what you might have forgot to connect. My actuator is a pos, lasted about 1.5 years, you get what you pay for

See the previous answers but here is something to consider. I installed the window lift motor about a year or so ago. Have never had a single problem with it but now the passenger side motor is gone. For this cheap price, consider doing both at the same time because if one is gone, the other is not far behind. Now I wish I had done both.

honestly, im not sure. that would make sence, i wired mine in & theres a wire that goes to the door lock/unlock actuator, but it dosnt lock/unlock my truck, but i need to call the company to see if i just hooked it up wrong or if the wire is supposed to wire to another box addon... but it does have a couple wires for the lock/unlock actutor

I personally contacted a lock smith, it was cheaper than the dealer. Hope that helped.

There is a lock on the front wheel make sure that it is unlocked. It that happened to me once before but if unlocked it works great

you get the whole thing... keep the left control, the cruise control that is the one I needed to replace. I SHOULD ADD THIS WAS A GREAT DEAL BECAUSE THE DEALER WANTED $400.OO TO FIX THIS SIMPLE PROBLEM. GOOD LUCK, BILL

If you are referring to the interior lights, that is a very good possibility. I replaced my actuator because the door lock would not work. The part from amazon was the exact fit. Works great. Good luck.

Yes, I had the dealer cut my key. They told me the key works but programming the locks doesent work. I drove it home with the new key in the ignition and the door locks worked with the new key.

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.

You need to take it to a locksmith, they know what to do and do it fast & correct...

I had the same issue but it was an easy fix. Get the owners manual out. You have to program the steering wheel buttons yourself before they work.

Sounds like a bad ignition lock cylinder, i would buy a new one from dealer. The one i bought from amazon was no good stick with original equipment. Hope this helps you.
