Hi

I have Toyota Camry Sedan Auto 1996. The alarm system sounds when the remote is used to lock the car. When locked its ok for about 3-4 seconds and then sounds. I have tracked it down to the left front door actuator. It seems that the mechinism in the door is not pulling the rod far enough to lock and the security system sees this as an unlock condition and it goes off.

I have pulled the actuator out and the levers in this thing have a lot of muck like hard grease etc. The reason for this post is to see if anyone has any experience at fixing them so I can get a bit of an idea on repairing it. Is it a common thing. Any ideas would be much apprieciated.

I have not priced out a new one, but I'll bet its worth a fortune.

Thanks

I know you have mentioned that you think the fault is "left front door actuator" , have you tested it to confirm though ?

Disable that door/left front door actuator so it doesnt trigger when the alarm is engaged and then see if it goes off ..

I havent had that problem but to replace the motor just go to supercheap or autobarn and they sell the actuator on it own.

Worst case you might have to buy a 2 door central looking kit $30 odd dollars or Ebay has some deals too..

Dont worry its not too costly , you have done the hard work of taking the trim off and getting to the base of it all , if anything that would have cost you Mega $ if you took it Toyota or some other repair place .. wink.gif
