What is the actuator on a car door?
The door lock actuator is an electric actuator that operates the door latch mechanism in cars with power door locks.
How is the voltage measured on a door lock actuator?
To diagnose, your mechanic may need to take the door cover off and test the voltage at the door lock actuator, following the wire diagram. The voltage is measured when the power lock button is pressed.
What to do if your car door lock actuator is broken?
Step 2: Open the affected door. Get into the vehicle from another door if the door you are working on will not let you enter the vehicle. Open the door with the broken or damaged actuator from the inside of the vehicle. Step 3: Rule out the door lock. Try operating the door lock switch to rule out the idea that the door lock is not working.

The door lock actuator is an electric actuator that operates the door latch mechanism in cars with power door locks.
Where is the power door lock actuator located?
The actuator can be located away from the latch and operate the latch via linkage, or it can be attached to the latch by plastic clips or screws. To see and operate the latches/screws you’ll need a mirror and curved picks.
What are the symptoms of a bad door lock actuator?
Another symptom of a potential problem with the power door lock actuators are door locks that behave erratically. If the actuators have any sort of internal or wiring issue, it may cause them to rapidly lock and unlock unexpectedly, or cause them to function intermittently.
