Door lock Accuater

If you are even mildly mechanicly inclined you can replace it with an after market accuater from your local Pepboys or 12 volt audio shop for under $15 good luck Jim

Thanks. I emailed my old man and he told me he has a spare at his place. I'll give it a shot.

Actually I have pulled several at the JY's and had good luck with them. Not that hard to test them with some jumper wires and a battery at the JY, and for $5 or so for one it beats $50 plus
