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

No muff too tuff! :icon_fU:View attachment 1715974216

Total time to removal minus the snap on inner door: 30 minutes! (The key is those 2 frigging bolts inside door at rear that I missed) I didn't have to remove outside fascia, I just lowered rear and rotated up the front and it cane right out with track and all.

>>>> putting it back together is a **** and a half. That window track is the *****, you got to get it up there around the window edge and then with luck and a whole lot of jiggling and repositioning, the latch will finall slide in a and get to where you can put a bolt in it. The rest is just putting the cables back into position. Swear words per minutes: top worst job ever. But it doesnt make that sound anymore using the same actuator I pulled apart and looked at. Its missing one tooth. removed the grease and now it doesnt buzz...?

Putting it together is quite easy, if you did it the way I mentioned. The important thing is, you got it. Good job. The buzzing can be stripped gears or stripping gears, or just a stalled motor, drawing too many amps. It seems a lot of the power accessory actuators used very similar motors, and they just aren't robust enough, compared to the old ones.
