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

    Stop using the dealer for repairs for a 7 year old car.

    If you can find a YouTube video that shows step by step how to change the lock actuator, go ahead and give it a try. The tricky part of this type repair is to remove the door panel without breaking something. There is nearly always a “secret” screw hidden in a non-obvious spot that can cause you to break something.
