Drivers side door lock actuator needed

HELP!!!

I need a drivers side door lock actuator. Mine has blown itself apart and the readily available "rebuild kit" isnt cutting it.

Anyone have one they can sell?

Ouch, good luck.... I got mine right before they went out of production, then subsequently out of stock. Set a "saved search" on Ebay so you get emailed when a used (or random NOS) one comes up for sale. You can test it by running the vacuum line for the installed one to the one you buy before going through the hassle of installing it. ALSO, cover the entire cap with PC-7 epoxy so it doesn't pop off. My CL55's vacuum diaphragm was destroyed by the previous owner, so I know your pain lol. If your diaphagm is OK and the new cap went on but isn't working, you may as well sand the red area and apply PC7 around the darker blue area... i did the whole cap (light blue) so I don't have to deal with it again. My reasoning is the replaced cap may not be sealing, plus the clips that hold the top on suck and will get brittle and break over time.

Do be aware, there are two part numbers for each side, one for keyless go and one without. They Keyless go unit will work on non keyless go equipped cars, just an extra pigtail I tied up and ignored.

crappy diagram below for illustration
