Anyone facing door lock actuator issues?

Hey everyone, has anyone faced issues with their door lock actuator lately? My left side door lock actuator has been very noisy lately and wont even lock the door most times, I am guessing it is already failing. I just hope I wont need to replace it.

Door lock actuators usually don't have issues in EVs. You might want to remove the door panel and check if any of the lock linkages are stuck.

Thanks @Sandy, I will check this soon

Door lock actuators can totally wear out over time, like any old thing. Try to check the wiring or connections first. Or a little lubrication might just do the trick!

I totally had the same issue! It was super noisy and just wouldn’t lock. I ended up swapping mine out, and it totally did the trick!
