Review on 🚪 APDTY 042516 Integrated Door Latch & Power Lock Actuator Motor for Driver-Side Rear - Replace OEM Part 69060-06100 by Taj Tyagi

This product looked almost exactly like the original part I replaced. Some of the inscriptions on the case were different, but it doesn't matter much. This is the third drive/latch assembly I've replaced on my 2009 Toyota Highlander, so I have some experience with the replacement procedure. There are so many things that can go wrong if you don't constantly work with these mechanisms. If you're mechanically inclined, go for it. If you're not good at troubleshooting, pay someone to fix it for you. If you decide to fix this yourself, check the door latch by hand before closing the door. You may have to hold down the switch on the door to make the car think the door is closed. I made the mistake of closing the door before checking it and it's really really hard to open the door if you don't know how. I didn't know how to do it, but I figured it out after 3 hours of trying. You can break the door panel if you're not careful when trying to unlock a door that won't open. Make sure the child lock is turned off as well. If you are unsure about making this replacement, pay someone to do it for you. Bottom line for the part I received, it worked well, I hope it lasts. A stupid $10 motor wears out inside. No, don't even try to replace the motor yourself, I've successfully done it once but never again. When you open these assemblies all the pieces fall out and then you have to figure out how to put it all back together. I was lucky once, very lucky. I will never try again.
