Review on πŸ”’ Dorman 746-162 Door Lock Actuator Motor: Ideal Replacement for Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury Models by George Scoles

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Good product with minor defect

Product works great. BUT, the bracket used to hold it is not a Ford OE equivalent. The clamp on this Dorman product does not have enough tension to hold/lock the actuator in place. You have to let it stick. I used a small piece of cardboard and placed it between the clamp where the drive should generate some tension. BY THE WAY. I went to several auto parts stores to see if there was a difference but no as they also source their parts from Dorman. This is a manufacturing defect. Otherwise the product works great.

Pros
  • Safety compliant - part passed simulated crash tests per agency guidelines
Cons
  • Some faults
