I literally have no mechanical background whatsoever other than knowing that a car needs gasoline. This video save me so much money since I did it myself
Hi sir i have a question. My Chevrolet Cruze 2014 lt has no issues in the remote lock and unlock, however only if i put the key to unlock the driver's door manually, the key rolls normally with a clicking sound but the lock doesn't open. So i believe that the problem is not in my actuator. Its with the plastic part where the manual lock is connected?
@@OneTrickTech Thanks but I had checked there and they only have the rear one. It seems that’s the only one everybody has. I’ll have to check the dealer 😩
Hi mate the actuator you install is a brandnew is there a specific frequency to work with the remote keyless entry or if i replace with the same brand or intended for specific car model is that okay? I dont have the problem with the remote keyless entry thanks anyway for the educational video
good evening I have a 2012 chevrolet aveo and when I open the door the ceiling light does not come on either the driver or the front passenger. Sometimes if I open the door, the ceiling light works, but most of the time, it does not. you know what could be wrong with .the car locks and unlocks normally
Does the light open with the other doors? If it opens will all other doors except the driver door, then it could be the driver door lock actuator. The car might not recognize the door is being opened/closed.
@@OneTrickTech Thank you very much for your answer. Now what should i do ?? change the driver's lock.there is a case that some cable was cut was shaking the door back and forth sometimes lights up
Before changing the lock actuator, take some time to check the wiring make sure there is no exposed wire since you said it worked when shaking the door. If the wires is all good, I would change the actuator, it seems to be the culprit.

@TommyCooper-sm8xf you would still have to take off the door panel and visually check. Maybe one of the rods are sticking.
@OneTrickTech so what part could be bad if it's not the actuator Lock?
@TommyCooper-sm8xf check the linkage between the key hole lock and the actuator. Might be a mechanical failure
Where did you buy the actuator from?

when buying your replacement, there is an option for keyless entry. It's not the same as mine, which is just a regular actuator.

@@OneTrickTech Thank you very much for your time, the actuator is integrated on the lock because there is no button on the outside.
