Passenger Door Actuator Replace
#1
![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
All of a sudden today I had the auto open close problem and the motor running on the passenger door but no lock movement. So I am sure it is the actuator. However I have looked around the forum and cannot find a repair guide for the the front door. I know that Rick has a great guide on the rear, but I need front.
Is is posted and I am missing on the the search or other than Alldata (which I have) does anyone have a guide?
It makes everything manual ( except for opening or closing the drivers only door) and what a nuisance. I assume that the procedure for turning off auto door locking would not work to solve the problem of it trying to open and close all locks on the car- opposite of whether the passenger door is locked or unlocked until I did whatever on the driver's door?
Thanks

That part I know how to do and have removed the trim panels on both back doors and the driver's side (thanks to the incompetence and lack of quality control at the Jag dealership in Plano.). I am looking to see the process about removing the actuator on the passenger side short of having to take it to someone to do.

I assume that since it is the actuator that short of replacing there is little else to do? Was the pin you pictured out of this one as well? The Alldata procedure talks about removing the window- did you need to do that? Is it simpler than the ones on the back door? (IYO)
Thanks

There are many vendors and other online sites for Jag dealers that will have better prices. Ebay has a number of used one that if you got 3 of them- might still cost less than a new one.
From one of our legends on the forum- Gus- from his website is a list of vendors for parts.

I replaced our left rear actuator with a used "low mile" part from a reputable parts source. I cannot remember the warranty but there was one. Anyways shortly after R&R which is a real PITA doing the rears the used one failed. I contacted company, they offered to replace the actuator with another used one. I decided to chalk up my "deal priced" actuator to live and learn. I went with new OEM and haven't looked back, 5 or so years.

Be wary of used. Here is my story:
