I like you're video. Would add that once all bolts are removed, pull HARD on panel. Mine was a PAIN! I also decided to just spray the hell out of it with Liquid Wrench without removing the actuator. About 5 hours later the issue is resolved! I sprayed a LOT right where the metal bar/post/up-down thing goes into the actuator 🙂
Thanks for your feedback and it’s very helpful especially to everyone that’s reading the comments. I’m glad you were able to fix the actuator. Those bolts do get stuck lol
If you remove the outer door handle and key lock, you can remove the whole door lock assembly to replace the actuator. It makes it easy to install the push pull rods on the actuator.
@loselefttightright6526 mine went out, and I have to replace it. I watched a video prior to yours, and the guy broke a peace off. Then I found and watched your video, and I knew it could be done without breaking the peace of.
I don’t have the part number but this is the link to it on ebay www.ebay.com/itm/254539147274?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=d9gqop_ETOO&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=0QG1hI_kQZq&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
Hi Thanks for video....I have different issue to my Ford xplr2016...drive side touch to open not working...however through Keys,Remote and when try from passenger side all doors latches work and open...any suggestion about what would be issue?
I’m about to do mine and when I’m trying to order it it asks if I have key fob Id card or not do you know what that means I have keyless entry and I don’t have to use the fob to unlock it either as long as I have the key fob on me any info would be great thanks
What’s up, yeah they are asking if you have keyless entry because some explorers do not so you want to make sure you get the one with keyless entry. Therefore you do have key fob if card on yours. Good question.
Yo!!! You're the best. I added a few steps... wiggle this, pull that, curse, pace, eat. It was just a bit harder than it looked in your video, mostly because of the tight space but everything I needed to know was on your video and I'm done. Finally got my door lock working right and I only paid for the part. Many thanks!
Thank you for the video, very informative! After replacing your door lock on the driver side, did you get a "Door Ajar" light, car beep twice, dome lights, doors didn't lock, and "Transmission not in Park" message? I followed your steps to the T and now it seems like it won't work. The door locks and unlocks when I'm out of the car.
Hey brother, thank you for the comment. I did not have any issues when installing mine. It sounds like you should check the connectors that go to the actuator, check that the actuator is installed in the proper position and bolts are tight and it also maybe a bad actuator. Sometimes that happens when you order a new part. Also is the car in park when you get the transmission not in park warning? That’s the only unusual one.
I followed everything to a T. I ordered Dorman part number 937-675, installed it all, doors unlock and lock via remote. Won’t unlock or lock via keyless. I’m thinking either the part is wrong or defective, although this one says for keyless entry and FOB card. To compound my problems now, the rod to the exterior handle broke off at the connection point, now i have to order a new one.
How difficult is this? Ive already replaced all of my lock actuators on 4 doors thru an extended warranty i luckily purchased from ford for my 203. This is the 2nd time I’ve had this issue on the driver door. Unfortunately, my mileage is high so I don’t qualify for the ford csp program for the door latches.
@@christinalebaron2141 honestly it’s not that bad. It gets a little tricky when trying to disengage the control rods and getting them back in but patience is essential. I ended up taking mine to the local garage to have them complete the install after I snapped the holding ring of the control rod to the exterior door handle. I got frustrated with it after that due to that new wrinkle, and after cutting my hands all to hell. Turns out the parts I ordered were correct and I just need to take the car to the Ford dealership to have them program the system with the new actuators.
@@christinalebaron2141 all in all, ~$200 for parts and $500 for labor (for both doors) and additional parts (exterior door handle assembly). Plus I just got them to do an oil change too since the car was there in the shop. Cheaper than the dealership.
The door lock indicator should have been mad easy to take off. If yours is different then we don’t have the same car. That literally is the only thing that’s mad easy, especially if you have big hands.
Thank you man! This was a big help. Step by step. This guy is on point!
You’re welcome. Glad I can help
Excellent DIY video thank you for the detailed info
Glad it was helpful!

You could have used your key. lol.. Nice job taking it off.

Hi, thanks for commenting. It might be the sensor thats not working. Did you get it fixed?
How did you manage to get the old actuator separated from the white plastic hook without breaking the hook that holds it in place?
I had to wiggle it very carefully. I used a lot of patience.

That was mad easy! Thanks my man!
You got it!
I don't think you understand what mad easy means. Getting this bastard out the door without breaking something is anything but easy
