After 11 years I need to replace the keyless entry door lock openers. My local dealer wants $155 each. Ouch!! Does anyone know of a cheaper source for these.
Thanks,

If you mean the solenoid motors inside the doors I ordered mine from pepboys for about $50 each. They (at least on my 89) are the same part used in chevys from the 80s. Turned out the prob was not my actuators but a voltage drop to them. Before replacing them make sure they are getting enough voltage. They need at least 9 volts to work. They are all on the same circuit so the ones at rear doors and hatch tend to get the least voltage. Greg
These aren't original but I've heard they work great.Door Locks
Might also want to check on JU.. There's a guy that had a writeup on a re-wire that increased the voltage.
Also, sometimes the lock mechanism itself is at fault. Take your door latches out, soak them in B-12 Chemtool, then lube the hell out of them...(with a non "sticky" lube)
I believe that the solenoid motors are at fault. Does anyone have a part # for these at Pep Boys or J.C. Whitney. Also, I will check the voltage and will clean and lube the old ones first. Thanks to all.
