Re: Door Lock Actuator
The repair is complete and the lock seems to be working fine. I apologize for not taking any pics. The problem was not the small motor inside the actuator. It was a loose gear. The metal gear spindle sits in plastic cutouts and acts as bearings(dumb dum dumb) There are 3 gears inside. A large worm gear that drives a crescent shaped gear to drive the lock. There is a small white plastic conversion gear that couples the motor to the worm gear. That gear was the problem ! The plastic gear mount was worn and allowed the gear to move and disengage from the worm gear. I managed to repair the slack in the gear and it works fine now but not sure for how long.
