Power lock motors
Anybody know where to get the motors themselves that go in the actuators?
One of mine is going bad, has a flat spot most likely. It won't work, then if I manually move the gear slightly it'll work for another 20-30 cycles.
Already did the actuator fix a couple years ago, worked great. Don't want to replace the actuator since I put the work in to open/ modify the case already and I just need the motor.
I know Johnson Electric makes the motors, checked their site, they have motors with same size frames, but I don't know about the electrical connection (the OEMs have female stab connections) and the plastic gear on the motor may be unusable if I try to pull it off the motor shaft.
Anybody replaced just the motor, or do I need a whole new actuator now?
Thanks for your input.

I wish I did... I searched last year and gave up.
If you find it, you are well on your way to becoming an FTE legend!
If there is a minimum order, you could easily start a side business here - hundreds of us have needed them. Heck, you could probably mark them up 400% and STILL have delighted customers.

Thanks for taking the time to respond, y'all.
I'll have to do some more searching and see if I can locate a source for direct replacements, if one does exist. I did find a couple motors that look like possible candidates, but the next stumbling block is the nylon gear.
I'll be sure to post something if I'm successful.

I tend to shy away from wrecking yards because around here, the yard prices are not really that much of a bargain for used parts, esp since you don't know what quality you're getting in the long run. I get a fleet discount from Ford anyway so most of the time that option works out the best.
I know the motors are only probably around $5 give or take, so if I could locate a source, that's the cheap fix. If not, I'll just go OEM.
Thanks for all your inputs.
