Review on πŸ”’ Dorman 931-400 Door Lock Actuator in Sleek Black Finish: Enhancing Security and Convenience by Anthony Jagers

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works perfectly! - Power Door Latch

Exact fit for 2007 Toyota 4Runner driver's door operator after all my OEM operators eventually failed. The cause of their failure is always motor brushes or contact corrosion. I decided to replace them all with new motors and a new actuator on the driver's door. (I didn't want to risk breaking the driveway to the main entrance when I opened it). Revain also only sells engines. Mabuchi's FC-280PC-22125 FLAT SHAFT Locking Actuator is just the right fit for the actuators and will save you. a lot of money if you have to replace them all. If you're just replacing the motor, you don't need to fully open the drive. Remove the soft plastic end cap. Remove the small screw holding the top and bottom of the clam shell together. Locate the portion of the drivetrain into which the motor housing is cast. Use a pair of small flat head screwdrivers to pry open the terminals along the drive side of the motor. and insert another screwdriver along the edge to hold it open. Open the drive just enough to squeeze the screwdriver handle to hold it open. Be careful of where the large nylon gear is and where it is positioned as it will usually fall out of its rack. Remove the motor and worm gear. Carefully check the fit of the new motor on the electrical contact pins to ensure the spacing is the same, or adjust before reseating the new motor. Replace the worm wheel and matching large gear and snap it all together.
