Anyone Know Where to Find Door Lock Actuators?

[Jonnymkiii]

Good day! After 30 years my passenger side door lock is about kaput and I'm not able to find some where online that I can but a new set for each door. If its warm out, the door will generally lock, but as it gets colder, it will not activate the lock; I have to manually lock it. I was able to find replacement window motors, but not the door lock actuator. Thanks in advance for any advice.

I never seen new ones specifically for the Supra. Sounds like the only options are

- try to rebuild your old one
- find a used one
- find a universal 4 wire actuator and mounting hardware

My car has done that from time to time. The solution was to pull the door lock mechanism out and clean and lube all the parts. After 30 years the Factory grease dries up!

Thanks for the replies! I'll try and clean up and relube what I have and take it for there.

If it's a solenoid like I'm thinking aren't they rather "wear out" proof? Provided the coil and magnet don't somehow degrade (which they shouldn't, should they?) it should last forever if cleaned regularly.
