Fixing Door Lock Actuator problem
 
Wondering if alarm shops do this, I'm pretty sure they do, but basically power locks not working because the actuator motor crapped out so it needs to be replaced. Not necessarily replaced with OEM motors that costs $200+ because the OEM motors in my car is absolute shit and it's a known common issue and TSB, and it will happen again in 2 years, so replaced with something aftermarket like this maybe, these are only a few bucks

Most if not all car stereo shops do install those. What kind of vehicle is it? sometimes its a little more complicated than you think to install these to replace OEM on newer cars (cars in the last 5 years)

this is because sometimes theres no room. Or else also, usually if its on the drivers door, it may be a 5 wire style or have a position sensor built in or if its cable driven door lock system.

Please specify car =)

G35 coupe, I remember mentioning to you when you guys installed my alarm that my passenger lock was not working with my OEM Keyfob.... and I don't know what you guys did but since you installed my CompuStar it's been working just fine with the CompuStar remote so I never paid it any attention, but it's getting weak now again and it will die out soon.

The actuator itself is fairly easy to get too, I took my door apart before to replace my window motor and it was easily accessible. Here's a picture of someone else with a G35 who installed the specific motor I posted above and how it sits, he just had to make a dinky custom bracket for it to make it fit.

^ once again you came through Will, thanks buddy I will call all those shops and get quotes, a few of my friends have this same issue and we're all eager to get it fixed.

We can fix that no problem as can the other shops. I have a lot of experience specifically with G35's and 350Z's. Heck, I even have one myself. :)

Anyways, if you are in the Coq then give us a shout and we'll hook you up!
