    Thanks! I just replaced the lock on my 2014 F-150 driver side door using these instructions. The dealer wanted $350+ and I got it done for the $80 price of the part! I would not have had any idea how to do it without your video. The only difference was my door has another connection for the keyless keypad. It took me about 1.5 hours, but it could have been much faster if I didn't double and triple check everything. Keep up the great videos!

    Doing my drivers side door this weekend on my 2010 STX Supercab. I pray my passenger side doesn't fail in the next 2 days or my truck will be as useful as a glass hammer. Your straightforward video gives me some relief regarding the process. I picked up a Dorman 937-673 Front Left unit for $123+tax Lifetime Warranty. I didn't want to go the eBay/Amazon route for fear of premature failure. They had some cheapies, but on err of caution I was quick to avoid. Tremendous thanks for making the video and to the people that create these step by step guides.

    Thank you for this excellent video. Your tremendous detail allowed me to follow along step by step while I changed out the actuator on my 2009 Ford 150 XLT. My driver's side actuator had failed. The only thing that was different for me was that I had to disconnect a rod that connects the actuator to the key hole. Once I figured that out it was just a process of following your video. Saved me a couple hundred dollars by doing it myself. Thanks again.

  • @willbenner3
    @willbenner3 3 роки тому +4

    Great video! I wish I had spent more time on the diagnosis. A broken wire can give similar symptoms to a failing actuator. Mine would work sometimes but not always. There are 4 wires on the actuator electrical connector. One should be positive all the time, one will not show power, and of the other two, one locks and the other unlocks so you would only see power on them for a moment after locking or unlocking. If you're not getting this, you probably have a bad switch or broken wire. My broken wire was about an inch from the connector in the door frame where there's a lot of stress as the door opens and closes. The boot was torn up as well. Just check things out really well before ordering the actuator.

  • @BlakeJurgensen
    @BlakeJurgensen 6 років тому +10

It is a bit more difficult and since there is an extra rod to disconnect and reconnect. Also have to unplug the mirror adjustment wiring. Got it done though.

      ADVANCED LEVEL AUTO I just changed the rear driver’s side door lock on my 2014 F150 Super Crew, and it keeps showing a warning message that the door is ajar. Is that because it’s an after-market actuator (Dorman), or is there some sort of system reset needed? Also great job on this video. One handed? You are incredible. I used 2 hands and a few curse words and still had issues Tetris-ing it out of the door cavity! I could have used another hand or two!

    I just did this same repair on a 2008 Ford Focus. The door latch assembly looks identical to the Focus one. I had to go with an aftermarket one since I couldn't find a Ford one online. On the Focus, the latch assembly attaches to the door handle reinforcement which I had just replaced on this car about two weeks prior and so that rod that attaches to that pink clip that you opened comes out all together. I just pinched the retainer buttons on the other side of that pink clip so I didn't have to open that clip when replacing the latch assembly. Nice video.

You might want to add to make SURE the door handle rod isn't stuck behind the edge of the latch when you install the latch bolts. I had to completely unbolt it to let the latch drop enough to get the rod out in front where it belongs, and undo the IMPOSSIBLE one way door lock rod clip, AGAIN... Other than that standard tight spaces, no visibility, not enough light, etc etc....

    Thanks for the video it was a big help. After I put everything back together, my power running board wouldn’t go back up, any ideas?

    Thanks for this vid. This just happened to me today, opened the rear door and the alarm went off (WTF?) not sure how long it's been broken.

    Great video, but mine has a rod that is connect to the outside door handle. Where does that connect on yours?

    Hey great video. Replaced the actuator and still got nothing. Have you seen power (cabling) issues before with these?

    • @ADVANCEDLEVELAUTO

      I haven't seen too many wiring problems with these. I would start by checking fuses first.

      ADVANCED LEVEL AUTO hey thanks. Checked it. Turned out wiring was severed from door jam. Had 3 severed wires all connecting to door actuator. Fixed wires, working door. Your video helped a lot!

      I have seen that problem on quite a few dodge ram trucks and jeeps. The wiring inside the door jam will sever from years of opening and closing the doors.They can be difficult to spot because they are covered with a rubber boot.

      @@ADVANCEDLEVELAUTO I'm about to change mine. The problem isn't the actuator not working, it works. It locks unlocks with the key remote or the switch. its the light stays on saying door is ajar. I can open the other doors, warning comes on, I can push the latch closed and the light goes out. Does it on all 3 doors except the left back one. Really questioning the thought of the wires being broken.
