I have power door locks on my car and it's a 2 door. One of the problems is that I can't lock either doors with the switch or with my key fob, I have no alarm on my car. Also when I do lock it manually only my passenger's side door unlocks. I just got a new switch on my driver's side so that can't be it and I don't think it's my relay because I hear a clicking sound when I try to lock or unlock it. What else could it be?

Your puller motor's inside the door's are probably bad(weak).

What's that? Right now I have my panel off how does it look like where is it at?

It's a little round motor and when energized it pull's or push's
the lock linkage.(lock/unlock your door)

look you'll see it.

I'm going to get the part Friday so I'll keep you up todate after I install the part to see it solves my problem.

I just got the part today. How is taken out? Is it just bolts?

The first picture is the old one that came out the car. The second one is the one I brought at an auto parts store. As you can see there are little holes in one but not the other. The third pic is the part that supposed to go on the actuator but the one I brought from the auto parts store didn't have a place to put it. Now what?
Do I actually need the part that goes on the actuator?

I just left from the dealer just in case they would have the exact same one I need but they don't. They have the exactly the same one that's from the auto parts store. So I'm going to work on my car again today to see if there's a different way to install it now.

just line the old one up to the new one and drill holes in the same sports

I don't think I can do that not sure if you can see it in the pic but it has some metal connections on the actuator and the other piece. Anyway I found out I can buy the latch (guess that's what you call it) and the actuator all in one piece at the dealer so I'm going to buy that next week. I just hope I can get a refund for my old actuator I brought.
