One of the best videos on car maintenance I've seen in a while. Followed it step by step everything went perfectly.

[@josephmcgill918]

I first started out changing the drivers side door handle,but wound up changing the actuator for the 2009 GMC Sierra. Your video >>>IS the VERY BEST THANK YOU JNM

More than 108,000 views. A good reminder that Chev was producing lots of trash for people to spend their hard earned dollars on...good thing us tax payers helped bail them out. Thank you for the great video! I appreciate your effort to help me with this task. You guys rock! Please don’t stop sending these great vids on how to fix these trash vehicles...I can’t afford to get something else.

[@robertcharboneau5103]

When it comes to advice on working on my Silverado I turn to you guys. Thanks for teaching me so much

[@jaysautoandmore1771]

My Avalanche had a dent in the door I bought a door from U Pull it and the one I bought the actuator was missing. 😮 So I had to take mine off my door.😢. Thanks I started at 9am and was done at 10:30😅😅. I saved 300.00 from watching your content. 😁

[@lancehancock7271]

Will this latch replacement fix my dome light turning on and the raideo turn off when I open the door on drivers door

[@chudson2623]

I followed this video step by step and had it replaced in an hour.

[@AGENTDARKBLAZE]

Thank you for this video. I changed out the passenger side actuator on my 2007 silverado single cab following these directions. It wasn't exactly like my trucks setup, but all the parts were there minus one metal rod(it had a cable instead). Everything went smoothly and now I don't have that "passenger door open" notification anymore

[@tannermiller3031]

Thank you. Followed this step by step. Made a seemingly daunting job fairly painless. Corrected the false Door Ajar warning on my 08 Suburban.

[@onlyme708]

Wow what wonderful instructions for this part! Based on my basic handymanskillset I can take on most projects but knowing where to start and what to avoid is the key to success the first time and A-1 Auto part videos do this for us for free. Even if their parts are a little bit more I always go with A-1 Auto parts.

[@QuomaD]

*Tip* The yellow clip on the actuator that holds the manual lock vertical bar: the new clip was so hard to open/close that I broke it when trying to reinstall. You may want to check it before you reinstall and if it is difficult, replace it with the yellow clip from the old actuator. Other than that everything worked great. Awesome video and awesome replacement part!

[@missagavia2746]

Thanks, this video helped me on my 2008 GMC Sierra 1500. Just follow the steps and you all set. Big thumbs up!!!

[@juventinotorquemada4673]

Thanks for the tutorial, it was of great help 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@darrondahl3669]

Excellent video. The instructions and items needed was easy to follow. Thank you for making the video.

[@1AAuto]

+Darron Dahl Thank you for your positive feedback! We are happy we could help.

[@MikeSmith-nu9wt]

Thank you so much , I was trying to get the latch off , couldn't figure out how to get the last two metal wire arms , now I realize I got to remove outside handle first , I was trying to do it without doing that , couldn't get it ..lol

[@joshua__wild]

Exactly what I needed!

[@ooger130013]

[@ls680ta]

Can you tell me if all electric door latches are the same. When I look for latches I see some that say for keyless entry and auto start

[@JamesHill-bq6mg]

Question.. the other day I put my key in the drivers door to unlock it , the key just turned inside the lock and won’t open, have no clue on my 2014 GMC Serria. Would it be the lock actuator needing replaced. Not a mechanic.

[@staceyjones2168]

The door knob doesn't have to come off I just did mines...but great video best I ever seen

[@MrActor30]

Thank you. You saved me.

[@reynaldoreyna1780]

I m trying to order this part but when I took off my actuator it has more prongs coming out of the plug. Yours only shows 5 and I believe mine has 7. What are the other two suppose to control and are they important.

[@DanielSanchez-nu3xp]

Overall a great video. Thank you

[@garrycoleman2494]

On my 09 silverado just the driverside work but I can't see the other 3 being bad at the same time any suggestions would be appreciated

[@suboptimal4539]

I really appreciate your videos! Could I make a suggestion? Put a time stamp for the reinstall in the about area.

[@jeffro20gauge]

Great video, I followed along and got the job done right. Thanks

[@rafaelduran7987]

My rear latch won’t latch anymore after replacement any help? It just bangs against the striker

[@R0CK070]

2003 Suburban threaded door lock rod clip replaced. I noticed the rod on the manual key lock is just dangling. I can't find a clear discription where it connects on to lock actuator. 😫 I'm stumped without pulling lock actuator back out. Any clues will be helpful. As I'm now able to open door with outside handle now obviously.

[@jeremyrice1463]

the red piece were can i find that part? deosnt seem to come with door handles i see online pretty sure mine broke that rod is just dangleing havnt taken the door handle off to confirm yet tho

[@oscarlopez4451]

I have a 2012 Chevy Tahoe that I recently replaced the passenger panel. The window rolls up and down but my mirror won’t turn and the door won’t lock. Am I missing something?

[@PropDusting]

Excellent video!

[@jeffwayne4084]

if the door is in the closed position' and won't open - what do you do to get it open so that you have this access?

[@michaelcunningham-r7o]

Thank you great video

[@tedcrf450]

How do you reprogram driver side to work with key without setting off security alarm?

[@4g63a1]

great video. would this be one of the parts that could fail and make the radio not turn off?

[@gusrice6180]

I have a 07’ Colorado. The driver door stop locking/unlocking with key fob but the other three doors still respond. I can’t even lock the driver door with key or by manually pushing latch on inside of door. Would this be a bad or broken actuator?

[@dawniemm75]

Great step by step video. Shouldn't take you longer than an hour

[@bentlysupreme]

This was a great video that helped me replace the actuator on my 2011 Silverado. I was wondering if you had a video, or knew where one was, that shows how to replace the wiring harness in the front driver side door?

[@liftedmike7415]

Thank you so much! This really helped!

[@Ephesians28n9]

Wondering how the accuator works? Idk if mines broke or not

[@bilbob100]

You guys are AWESOME,,,,,,thank you.

[@1AAuto]

+bilbob100 Thank you for your feedback!

[@grunkybouy]

What if neither of the latches (inside or outside) will open the door? How do I get the panel off to open the door so I can work on the broken latches?

[@mcrangelvlogs9396]

Thank you 🙏

[@chrisnshoe]

My radio and cluster won’t turn off when I open my driver door when key is removed, would this cause it too?

[@chrisnshoe]

Ended up replacing it. It worked. Thank you for the detailed video. I was able to work on my own Avalanche and save money.

[@tedhargiss1056]

Have you done this video that covers a 2004 Silverado (or equivalent)?

[@1AAuto]

+Ted Hargiss We do not have a video for this repair right now, but we'll keep this request in mind for a future video! 1AAuto.com

[@Kiwana1JustForFun]

I replaced the door latch cable in my front passenger side door after the little ball at the end had broken off. after replacing the cable my door will still not open from the inside but will still open from the outside. when i reach into the door i can feel the lock moving on the inside of the door when the handle is pulled. would the actuator be what is causing this?.

[@1AAuto]

+Nathaniel Garrett That could be it but we cannot diagnose properly online without the vehicle in front of us. Thanks for watching.

[@gabrielaguilar988]

If the driver door don't open at all, is there other way to take that out or how can u open the door with a broken door lock actuator

[@candacejackson2602]

My drivers side window works sometimes on my 2008 Sierra 1500. The switch has been changed. The window worked for a while after that but now it's not. Any advice on what to do now?

[@1AAuto]

+Candace Jackson Since there could be multiple reasons why you’re experiencing this difficulty with your vehicle, I strongly recommend that you have a reputable mechanic inspect it. They’ll be able to troubleshoot the problem and tell you what part or parts you’ll need for the repair.

[@fibsniper786]

1A Auto Parts I mean basically that’s absolutely useless information as well. “Oh it’s broken? Try a mechanic”

[@everydaystoner634]

Heard something about the parts may be different for Yukon 2007 gmc driver door it is an xl where can I find the part ?

[@craigdwyer2677]

Hey I've got an 08 yukon denali xl and my driver door wont open in or out did you find the part for it ?

[@Blck_tsunami]

My problem is that mine doesnt unlock with the key fob or inside buttons but everything else works fine you just have to unlock it manually i cant figure it out

[@YZFoFittie]

Is a weak door lock solenoid a common problem on these?

[@rrichards3531]

Great video it helped me change 3 door lock actuators that were bad.

It’s very easy done it a few times

[@Bwatt5000]

I was considering installing some gloss black handles but after watching this for the first 10 minutes I suppose my black textured handles don’t look so bad after all. 👀

[@lguzman123009]

I replaced mine the old one when i turnd off the truck and open the door the radio will turn off now with thr new one the radio stays on 😔

[@retrobro6667]

I have question? If I replaced but automatic locks don't communicate with latch but key works to unlock what went wrong?

[@1AAuto]

+Adrian Vallejo You may want to check the connections and wiring. Hope this helps you out. 1aauto.com

[@fibsniper786]

1A Auto Parts that is such a vague, useless response

[@quantumz5934]

Changed my 2012 driver door actuator and it didn't fix my issue.... doom light doesn't come on, radio doesn't turn off, instrument panel lights stay on

[@am6066]

Do you know how to open the door if the actuator has failed? The door will not open!

[@robsnyder2351]

I have the same problem. How did you finally get your door open?

[@Hustle.tillmyheartstop]

No test?

[@Gio_Dudee]

What are the signs of a bad door actuator??

[@1AAuto]

+Gio A Symptoms of a Bad/Failing Door Lock Actuator: Unusual noises coming from inside the door. Unusual noises coming from inside the door are one of the first symptoms of a potential problem with a power door lock actuator. Power door locks behave erratically. Power door locks do not function.

[@Gio_Dudee]

1A Auto Parts thanks for the reply are these the same steps for a 09 yukon?

[@1AAuto]

+Gio A The part in this video fits your application, and the install should be the same or similar!

[@andy347]

You said that cable has to be run on the outside, then put it to the inside…
