Actuators In!

Hey if your power door locks are sticky or slow, try to spray some WD40 around inside the moving parts. I installed a new door actuator in my drivers side and it was still stiff until i sprayed some WD around in their. So before you replace yours, try this trick first.

I did the WD-40 thing, worked for like a month. I also never went into the door and spray the parts.

I try that, thanks for the tip.

Use silicone lube or lithium grease on them after you spray them with WD40. The WD40 by itself will not last long, and works much better to clean all the old grease and grime out before you relube.
