No way something this generic is going to be a solution w/o some modification in my oppinion. At that point you might as well bite the bullet and do it right. Door "stuff" is easy DIY for anyone with moderate skills. Buying the parts online would be the best way to go assuming yo have the right apart number from the failure and have confirmed the need.

It would seem highly unlikely that both would fail simultaneously, unless there is something furthur up streaming causing the common failure.

Did they fail at the same time or at different times? Maybe others can give specific ideas based on actual knowledge and not my general comments.

it failed about the same time . the dealer told me that the maduale is new but a short circt cause the door actuator to fail . I could hear the noise when I lock the doors by the remote but it does not lock . I have to lock both ways with the key .

If I am posting this topic at wrong form please some one tell me to move it

THANK YOU ALL

:D

Seems to me if you here something clicking the electrical is in fact good, so what caused the failure and why is the module newer?

I would find the part number on the actuators and order them from Sunset if you are warm and fuzzy about the indie diagnosis. This will be the way better solution then the generic ebay listing you had. I've seen people try to put in the generic window regulators before and I was unimpressed. I'm sure the generic door actuators are not far behind.

find your part number and price them, both tools for that need are on the this website...start with the quick menu.
