Review on Ford Genuine YW7Z-54218A42-A Door 🚪 Lock Actuator Assembly: Superior Quality and Performance by Corey Vaz

Worked great in my 2001 Ford Explorer XLT. Ease of installation. Pull the door panel and drill out the rivet holding the old drive. You need a good drill. Unscrewing and removing the window rail and loosening (but not removing) the three screws holding the door latch will make installation easier. The rivet that comes with the drive is quite large. Too big for my rivet gun. So I installed it using a 1/4" x 1" hex bolt, a 1/4" flat washer and a 1/4" hex locknut. Cost me 36 cents at the local hardware store. Cheaper than buying a new rivet gun. This actuator is powerful and in my opinion worth the extra cost compared to replacement parts.
