I just bought a secondhand vehicle with two broken actuators. Auto wreckers want hundreds of dollars for replacements. This little video has given me a major boost toward fixing the problem myself for nothing, thanks so much!

Hi from The Netherlands. I solved the problem with an actuator in another way. I drilled, carefull, a 3mm hole in the case near the electric motor gear. Then I blowed WD40 inside the actuator. Now the actuator is working again. I could reach the actuator without removing the door lock.

I just repaired a door lock on my Mitsubishi Pajero Gen 4, with basically the exact same issue as described in the video. Thanks a lot for the tutorial!

I nice tip I have, when you want to pop or separate two plastic parts stuck together, use a Wood chisel.
Jam it between the two piece and slowly/gently try to separate them by prying or turning the chisel (Be careful when doing this).
Using a screw driver works, but cause more damage to the plastic.

Please keep making videos like this. You're a asset Sir!

If you dont want to do this twice. I recommend replacing the DC motor. The brushes get worn and carbon builds up on the commutator creating resistance.
A lubricant for the bearings would be to use 3 in 1 oil.

Ha ha ha ha!!! I was sitting there at the end thinking maaan, I'm going to hit the like button! This guy just gave an awesome presentation! I was thinking, man I would love to be friends with this guy but he probably has no sense of humor or personality and then BOOM!! Nice finish! The bitch about it is that somebody has to get kicked off my subscriber list and I never subscribe on the first video even to a smokin hot babe but Damn, that was the best finish ever!!! Thanks for a good long laugh!! 🤣🤣🤣

Great tip. I never would've thought about doing that. 👍

Beaut vid !!
I would highly recommend NOT using a strong 2 part type glue to put it back together though !!
I would recommend a light layer of silicon and zip ties so that a repeat fix in the future can be done again easily without busting the cases completely..and if small cracks are made like it this vid, i would say seal those little areas up with silicon too for less moisture entrance.
