    Has anyone had to replace their driver side door lock actuator? If so did you buy the part online? Also if you did who did you buy from and is it good?

    not common on your DOM.. is it extreme cold out ? possible water got into it and iced it up..

    rockauto has them on the cheap.... 35 bucks. the cause is water intrusion .. check window seals for damage / shrinking etc...
    some did replace the motor that moves the locker. about 9 bucks ..

    @j cat also I’m hoping it is just the actuator. I have keyless entry and that’s the only door that doesn’t unlock.

    Got an OEM actuator from https://www.toyotapartsdeal.com/ without any issues. They processed and shipped my order fast too.
