Door Lock Actuator Pictures?

[Akshay]

Hi, I finally bought the part to fix my central locking problems (drivers door not locking), but on opening up the door I've found they've supplied me with the wrong part!!! Their technician said I had a double-lock fitted but I'm not so sure because the actuator they supplied me with looks completely different to that already fitted in the door!! I will argue my case tomorrow morning to get the right part ordered and not incur any return charges!!!

In the meantime, does anyone have picture of what their driver's door actuator looks like please or at least have links to picture of the door taken apart so I can see if it looks like mine?? :(

If it helps I'll try and post up pictures of what the part I bought looks like.

This is the part they supplied me with, it looks completely different to mine, as my actuator has a socket for a plug to go into rather than this part which has the plug attached!

That looks like a socket to me on that pic!

How come you need pictures of someone elses?do you not have one at all?

Hi Chris, yes that part has a socket on the end of a cable but my OEM one has a socket built into the body and is a completely different shape to that one. I just need to be 100% sure that this new part is wrong for my car so I have something to argue with Toyota!

I've had another look at my car and it looks like the actuator is attached to the door lock somehow! I just just that doesn't mean I have to buy a whole door lock!!!

Can you just take your car to toyota with the interior panel off so they can see its wrong!

Does the part in your car have a part number on it anywhere!

You dont get on here much then!17 posts in 4 years! :D

Hi Chis yeah gonna have to take it to the dealer with the panel off to prove its wrong!! I won't get the part number off mine unless I take it apart.
