Mustang Door Lock
Actuator Retrofit
Stuck with door lock actuators
that don't work and don't want to pay the $50 for a new one? Tried the junkyard
ones and found that they last six months and freeze up? If the answer to either
one of these questions is yes, and you have some mechanical talent and a few
simple hand tools, you can refit the door lock actuators with new style units
for approximately $17 for one side. The additional cost is to do both sides is
only about $6.00 more.
Watch for the (*): it indicates some important additional
notes located at the end of this web page.
