Great video, it helped me a lot. Today I did this to mine, can't say its 100% but its 90% better than before. Thank you for the how-to video. I found one thing to add, at the 4:40 mark in your video, "I found the problem, this part is sticking" I found that the black part just below and to the left; slides right out. Then onto the white part has that pin/spring through it (the sticking part). You can pick at the bottom of the pin with a small screw driver, to lift it and the white part out to allow cleaning behind and around this little part. Thanks for the video, not being critical, just trying to add my findings help you and others. Now to the guy that said "They sell refurbished actuators so you replace" Where, who are "they"? I couldn't find them, and one day I will need a replacement. Besides, the point of this video was to fix it yourself without having to shell out dough to replace it.

That's a great tip. Thank you. I look for a black stopper and a pin. I guess you can buy parts on parts, but if the motor is good and the plastic gear isn't broken, I prefer to save my money. That's just me. I'm working on a Rabbit door lock actuator for a freind right now. It's pretty much the same. It's been 2 years now and no new issues I'm happy to report. I'm happy to hear it helped out. Thank you.

This video is so good, but it would have been great if you've showed us the result 😬 I have the same issue and as you know it's not easy to get a brand new replacement, specially that I own the 2nd gen 4runner

It worked a little, but I still have to slam the door. Now when I slam it, it locks, where before it wouldn't. I did the rear driver side door and my next to do is the passenger sides. I need more clips though. Thank you for the props.

@@Squisheyy thanks for your response, I have worked on mine today and it seems in a good shape but maybe the door it self needs to be adjusted/aligned correctly to have it closing smoothly 🤷🏻♂️

@@driftingmaster2248 Check out this video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnXZm5RtptSrnKs Rubber Seals and door alignment are the first things I checked. The latch has to align to the catch perfectly and door sag is a thing on the older ones. I hope you don't need to replace your hinges, that is a real pain. Sometimes even the whole door gets out of wack, especially if a lot of off-roading or there was and impact somewhere during the life of the vehicle. Good Luck.

Is it compelling to rattle off the socket sizes? Is it a habit or just thinking out loud?
