[quote:6b387d8606="techman1"]Astro door lock motors are junk. It is just the design. Can you first oil and exersize the locks so they are easy to open with the key? I have had to replace many door lock motors on Astro's. I get them on Ebay for about $30. I drill out the aluminum mounting rivets and remount them with quarter-20 hex bolts and nuts. Take one of them out and take it apart and see the zippo lighter flint sized brushes and weak circuit board rotor. Anyway I got some of them at a junkyard cheap and they died in 3 weeks. Just bite the bullet and get new ones on Ebay.

Good Luck

I have oiled the locks a couple of times and they are pretty easy to open with the key, just today I ordered a pair of new actuators for $65 shipped (front driver and passenger). Is the sliding door and rear door (i have the double doors) actuator the same part? I plan to order another pair if they are.

no i think they are different but i could be wrong my gm software is down right now

sorry
jim

FIRST OF ALL I WOULD HAVE TO SAY , BUT THE RIGHT PARTS , YOU SHOULD NEVER HAVE TO CUT AND SPLICE ANY NEW PART TO WORK IF YOU DO IT IS WRONG , I WOULD HAVE TO RECCOMEND DEALER PARTS , THEY CAME IN YOUR CAR AND GAVE YOU YEARS OF GOOD SERVICE AND WERE ENGINEERED TO WORK WITH THE VEHICLE , JUST SOME FOOD FOR THOUGHT
