Not an A but still barely a Mopar...'12 Caravan lock actuator fail...

I've been through half a dozen actuators on my 2000 Dakota CC. Fingers crossed the last one has lasted several years.
There for a while it seemed like I was replacing one or the other every 6 months.

At some point, they changed the design and the attachment bolts got reversed from 2 on top and 1 on the bottom.
WHY TF did they do that? Everything else is the same but they don't interchange.

...and don't get me started on Dakota QC cable power window actuators.
