2004 Prius Driver's Door Lock/Unlock Problem

Yeah my 2004 did the same thing it would try to lock and unlock (click click click etc..) I had to replace the drivers door lock motor assy.. about $350 but what are you going to do? You got to get in... I guess you can go to a junk yard and get one, it has nothing to do with the key and the sending unit so you would not have to re-key or re-program. This is all from what the dealer told me... anyway good luck..

 

Ok. I've replaced 3 out 4 door locks. I recently had another one go bad. I thought it was the 4th, but it ended up the one I replaced the 1st time. I think it's something that will happen to a lot of people. I'm trying to get a bunch of people to complain so we would not have to pay $500 dollars for each door! Please anybody, let us know if you have the same problem.

 

So, I'm having problems with all of my door lock actuators. 2007 blue prisu. (excuse the misspelling) I have three doors that are out and the other one is on it's way. Has anyone had this problem and has toyota helped in any way to repair the problems? I can see one going out, maybe two, but all four. Something has to be up. Any advice is welcomed.

 

I could be mistaken, but I'm pretty sure they have invented the [BACKSPACE] key. If you recognized the mistake, why not just delete a few letters rather than typing out a lot more extras?

On topic:

Why is it costing $350+? You can't find them cheaper online and just install them yourself? I mean, it can't be THAT difficult....can it?

 

Interesting. I've not seen much in the way of door lock motor problems. Certainly none on either of our cars.

 

we have had the same problem with ours. All but the drivers side locks are no longer functioning.

What is a good cheap source for the solenoid? Does anyone happen to have a part number?

 

Rear passenger door not locking/unlocking on its own. Have to manually do it. Child lock off.

Any answers?
