Rear hatch door lock actuators?

How do you get to them? Is there one or two actuators? Can you use right side or left side to replace it/them?

You have to take the rear hatch panel off. Easiest if you open all the doors in the back, sit down in the truck and pull the hatch down. Take the handle off, pull panel and dust shield. There will be only one actuator in there and I believe it's the driver side that you will need. I will double check on this unless someone else chimes in. The actuator itself is sitting behind a little plate on the door, it's not too hard to get to. Just take your time getting it out so you don't break any of the little plastic pieces.

I sprayed mine with grease and work the key until the actuator losen up, the power lock work for the last 8-9 months now. Own the Ex for ~11 months.

there are other post about greasing and work the key until it free up. Search for it!
