Has been intermittant lately. What is involved in changing one or what can be checked?

Thanks...

Gary

Ps. I had posted about what to do about a seat belt that was on the wrong side. No one ever answered but a buddy twisted one edge of the belt over sort of like folding it and then forced the clip side over it and it was back over on the correct side. He's a big guy though and he struggled to get the buckle to move.

 

actuators (spelling????) can and will got out take inside panal off and replace like a speaker can fix unless wire came lose

This is just a suggestion, not a diagnosis. I recommend having a certified technician inspect the vehicle.

Please keep us posted.

What are the steps to get to the actuator? Anyone have a video on youtube of this? Lock has quit working entirely.

Thanks... Gary

 

Should have been a recall on these. 2008 silverado has a problem with this. I just changed one about 2 months ago. I have a friend that has changed two on his. You tube has video how to do this.

 

I changed 1, my dad 2, my buddy and his dad have both changed 1 a piece also. Obvious problem with something in there!!!

 

How much did you pay for the part and is it available only from the dealer?

Thanks.. Gary

 

Anyone on the part availability and price?

 

I guess it can't be any worse then the factory ones from what I'm reading.. Here's a picture of it. Is it the same thing. The place that sells it says it's for the 2008 Silverado 2500HD.
