2007-2014 GM Door Lock Actuator Repair - Click the Pic !

Now You Can Buy the Motor With a New Gear Pre-Installed!

GruvenParts.com is proud to release our repair for the 2007-2014 GM door lock actuators. In most cases, the faulty motor within the actuator burns out but the rest of the actuator unit is still fine. GruvenParts.com has corrected this design flaw by developing a new high torque motor with the factory correct wiring input. Our motors have passed rigorous 35,000 lock/unlock cycle testing without issue. We warranty all units for 1 year, but if there are ever any issues with the product we ask you to contact us immediately even if outside the warranty period. Please read the repair options below before ordering.

Please keep checking back on this list, as it continually grows.

Core Charge
There is a $20 core charge when ordering the actuator from us which is refunded when you send us your old actuator in serviceable condition (ie, not ripped apart, burned, run over, ect...). Please send your old actuator to the address listed on the product page to receive the $20 core refund. Please include a copy of your original order invoice and write "CORE" on the package. There is no core on the "Motor Only" option.

By Back Program
Do you have a dead actuator lying around the garage? Are you a GM service tech or independent shop that has buckets of these things collecting dust or filling up your waste bins? You may be able to send them to us for a $10 credit or check and help out other GM owners. We are actively building our Cores inventory and need your serviceable actuators. If they are serviceable, we'll issue you a $10 credit or check (your choice). Please email Paul@GruvenParts.com with your part number(s).

An installation video has now been posted showing exactly how to replace the motor in your existing actuator ! Big thanks to Fernando for getting this done !

Is there a way to fix this without spending $1,200 to repair this on all 4 of my doors?

SabrToothSqrl

I've had THREE fail under warranty, and I'll be damned if they don't fix it under threat of me kicking their asses for the LIFE of the vehicle. which, being a GM will be about 10 minutes...

CMarkus

I just sent an email and PM to someone named Michelle who is supposedly with GM customer service. We'll see if anything happens...Sure hope so.

Looks like the same type of motor that used to be used in slot cars and are also in the exterior folding mirror in my 07 Tahoe which cost almost $1000 thru your friendly Gm dealer. Motors are probably worth a couple of bucks.

lol slot cars... I was going to say that too....

I wish it were that simple. This is a special design motor, I had to buy 1,000 of them to even make them. Then the pinion gear was also specialized as well, had a huge min run on them as well. I figured they would be off the shelf items but that is not the case.

I love my truck dont get me wrong, but i couldnt bare not having power door locks, its almost impossible to even reach through the back to unlock rear doors. So, this has to be fixed. And GM is simply waiting for someone to kick the internet cord out of the wall at this point. There is not going to be a recall or really anything offered by GM to rectify. Its a S.O.B. of an unacceptable situation.

I have a bunch but I'll have to look into S&H cost from Canada.
