Where can I get a drivers side door lock actuator at? I've checked ebay, but couldn't find one. New or used, I don't care as long as it works....1984 RC

right in the HELP/Dorman section of your favorite parts store under part number # 75653
1996-2002 Chrysler, Dodge & Plymouth Mini Vans; Fits Sliding Door, part number and mfg: Motormite 75653

I'm not sure that this is the part that your looking for a 1984 RC. It maybe modified, but this is not it!

Well I went to the local parts store and I found GM/Jeep actuators and Ford actuators in the HELP section. The parts guy called motormite and they said that they don't make them for my application. The motormite book only lists 96 and newer chrysler applications

You can use an actuator from a GM car you get at the salvage yard (keep the plug and as much of the wire as you can). A couple new holes to mount it, a homemade rod to connect it and connect the wires.

I have a number for that part for an 86 RC, if you have a dealer with the ability to get a hold of new old stock.
4330448-0
I'm pretty certian that this part number is the same for many of the years, if not it may be just a change in the electrical connector.

I know that you can find the same door lock solenoid at the junk yard in vans and several other of the full size Dodges.

I used universal locks which cost $10 as someone else said. I built a bracket to hold them so that you could use the existing holes that hold the old actuator on to mount the bracket. The bracket also positions the lock more in line with the connecting rod which makes it work a little better. I have pics of the bracket and dimensions, etc. if you like. Just IM me and I will send them to you.

Sounds like a good How-2, input!

there are choices for them,i reccomend using the so-called heavy duty ones,as they arent the rack and pinion-type,i think they are a spiral gear setup,more similar to oe applications,and better in the cold weather.
