Hi
Please fill in your profile so we know what you are driving. What are your symptoms? by actuator I am assuming you mean the electric motor. If so has it stopped working or is it just very slow? If its just slow your fix is to lubricate the rubber with sillicone lube.
Supply more info and we can help.

when you open car with key, o/s rear door button doesn't go up. you can hear the motor as if the cogs are not gripping. tried to get motor out but it's a pain in the rear end. must be a simpler way. cheers.Originally posted by phoebelala

What you describe"rear button doesn't go up" could mean simply a disconnected linkage IF you can "hear the motor"ie motor operational.. So it's door card off time. You simply need to unclip the stud pingers (trim fasteners) by pushing the centre part in carefully, then releasing the armrest and internal catch phillips head setscrews...When door card is free - actually, only partially, cos the electrics are (read - should be )still connected. Then you should be able to see if the rod/s (lock actuators - mechanical) are flopping about free from their locators....Easy fix to twist them back together. If your unsure how they fix - you'll have to remove opposite door card to see a goodun...Originally posted by gaffer39when you open car with key, o/s rear door button doesn't go up. you can hear the motor as if the cogs are not gripping. tried to get motor out but it's a pain in the rear end. must be a simpler way. cheers.
