I replaced the driver's side 2nd door due to a developing rust bubble. Also the lock actuator was not working. While removing the wiring harness, it was apparent that the door lock actuator had become detached at the rivets (original door). I was hoping the new (old) door would also have a good actuator. Turns out that actuator had also detached with the rivets pulling out. I drilled out the rivets and mounted with bolts and nylock nuts. Prior to doing all of this, the driver's door, front passenger and 2nd passenger side door actuators all worked. Now only the driver's front and passenger 2nd work. I can see some movement on the other two door lock, but not even close to locking it. Are these just worn out actuators? Gummed up rods?
I'm going to pull the actuator from the old door and test it on the harness to see how strong it is.
