The second one has decided to give up, it grinds but what happens when i lock the car is it locks and grinds then unlocks and toots as if to tell me a door is open, last time when one went (rear) it didn't lock then unlock and tell me a doors open, so whats wrong this time? BTW it's the front passenger. quite a pain as the car won't lock any doors now
 : Would just a new actuator fix it or something else as well? |

Very Easy...fix it yourself if you can spare $30 and 30mins...Very possible the worm gear has broken inside (Like mine)...Ebay dude sells them for $35 includes postage...remove the old one open up the 3 screws on casing and if your white plastic gear wheel inside looks snapped in half (I bet it is) just replace that part screw back together and put back in...Plenty instructions on here on how to do that, and If i can then you can...Mine is doing the exact thing as yours, trys to lock then unlocks and toots horn after a grinding sound...for now just manually lock car with key not your smart lock(But you will find the buggered one will stay unlocked, but at least the others are locked) or you could buy a reconditioned who thing for about $80 and just put it in too...Let me know if you need a link on how to take out the actuator, but its easy remeber they ol saying "Anything a girl can do a guy can do better" well dont know about better but but id expect you to be able to do it...goodluck

Just to add, the car does this whenever you open the door inside handle or outside, also it started doing it on unlock when i started using the key when the pass side actuator was stuffed, since replacing that it's become worse, anyone know if this is a BEM problem?
