[DML] Re: Problems Installing Door Lock Actuators...Any Help?

["ryanpwright" <yahoo1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Patrick,

First, get ahold of Toby. He stands by his products and will support you.

Second, I've been running my actuators from DPNW for quite awhile now
(6 months? more?) without problems. Have you checked your door lock
controller? It is more than likely damaged if it's original. You can
rebuild it, pay John Hervey to rebuild it (I believe he does this),
buy another (used or NOS if available), or buy a Lockzilla. No
guarantee this will solve your problem, though.

Try the following: Hop in the car, close the doors and disconnect the
new actuators from the door lock controller. Manually actuate each of
them back & forth several times by touching the appropriate leads to a
+12v source. If you aren't comfortable doing this, find a friend who is. 

This will help you pinpoint the problem. If they work just fine, then
you know the actuators and your door linkages are OK, and chances are
good there is a problem with your lock controller. If they don't work
properly, then the problem is in the actuators or the door linkage.

I hope this helps.

-Ryan
