![]() ![]() When you open the door to unlock or manually lock it, you're doing the same thing, only by hand. It mechanically moves the locking mechanism. Yes it's essentially a motor for all intensive purposes. I'm expecting CPO warranty to cover this issue. Tomorrow I'll finally call my SA and set up an appointment at the dealer, been swamped with work and wasn't able to take the car in this week. ![]() Just to confirm the lock actuator is the 'motor' basically yeah? Or is there a separate electric motor too? Yea you're probably right, since that's all that's left after the electrical stuff. I think there are different audible symptoms for example when a window regulator breaks. ![]() Just a guess but the fact that it sounds different than when mine broke might not mean that yours isn't broken. I'm still betting its your lock actuator. So does CPO warranty cover something like this? The SAs at my local dealer have been pretty useless thus far and Ive been getting kinda frustrated since almost every issue I bring up is conveniently for them not covered under CPO warranty I actually stood outside and put my ear to the handle and locked and unlocked it a bunch of times with the fob to see if I hear anything, I couldn't really tell since the actuator for the trunk is so damn loud that i cant isolate the sound enough to tell if i hear anything from the door's actuator. Thanks, so it seems its not the actuator but an electrical issue since i can still manually lock and unlock the door. I checked all the fuses before hand but nothing seemed wrong so that plus the fact that I could hear the noise of the actuator made me conclude it wasn't an electrical issue. It was because it couldn't lock that I immediately made an appointment with the dealer to have it fixed. My door lock was stuck in the open position and the manual key wouldn't work. FWIW when my driver side door lock actuator went I could hear a faint noise when I used the fob or pressed door handle (I have comfort access) like it was trying to open or close but couldn't. ![]()
