A few weeks/months ago the front door lock actuator went “bad” in my ‘14 Camry. It wouldn’t consistently lock the driver side door, and I say consistently because for some reason, on some days locking the car works just fine. Took it to Toyota and they want something like $1200 for the repair.

I looked up this repair on YouTube and think i could see it through, but as a layman I’m not sure of course.

I’m hoping somebody has an ace up their sleeve and knows a simple trick to fix it lol. If not I’ll end up taking it in, just wanted to get some trained opinions. Thank you

    It would take you a few hours being your first time and all. That’s a hard call. It’s also your nice door panel. You don’t wanna make a mistake and ruin it.

    This one is like 50/50

      I took the door panel off of my 02 Corolla. Mistakes were made but those panels are pretty forgiving in terms of hiding damage.
