Has anyone else replaced the actuators on the rear door locks? Both of my rear door locks are bound up pretty hard to the point that I can barely open them with my fingers. I haven't been able to open them with the lock switches for quite some time. For now I would just like to find affordable replacement actuators. A couple local Ford dealers want about $250 EACH and I haven't had much luck online. Does anyone have a source for these online?

 

I'm not 100% sure, but the ones from front doors should be the same. Maybe find a regular cab truck in a junk yard and try those.

 

Well, I have found some online that specify for front doors that are much cheaper, around $40ish.

 

I can't really see them using different ones in the rear, but ya never know. I'm gonna find out on of these days if they are the same. I need to pull some from some doors I have. I have a problem with one of my back doors, and a buddy does too.

 

If I can find some compatible actuators I'd like to have a remote entry system installed.

 

I think the rear actuators are different but I am not sure. Part # for rear doors from ford very expensive. 26594
Part # for front doors 218A42 not so expensive.

 

They are very different.more like the older fox mustang ones but high torque.I retrofitted a mustang unit in but it did not have the poop to pop..remove the actuators ant the locks will free up..no power but I'm not spending 600$ for power locks!!!!

 

Last I checked they were obsolete from ford and none at any pdc's

 

The cheapest I have found them online is around $500 for a pair of them and that is with a 20% from AutoZone. Not good.

 

I'm not spending that for locks.that's a t500 there...or e-fuel...or a budjet build stage 1 injector...or chip...naaaa

 

The rears are very different, but if you have the old rod you can just swap them out.

 

Well that saves me some work pulling them from doors.

 

Per Ford the correct part # for my truck is E7TZ-3526594-A. When I searched online for "Ford door actuator" I found a similar part # for an Aerostar that is a hell of a lot cheaper and looks identical, #E69Z-1126594-A. No clue if they are interchangeable.

 

That pic will be just like fox mustang,tempo,ranger...pretty much anything BUT cc. Try something and see if you can get it to work. I had no luck. I'm kind of starting to think my rr latch may be jacked up.

 

Looks like when were in the junk yard searching if we run across a cc we should look to see if the actuators are there and put up for later. I have one that acts up every now and then.
