So yeah theres voltage back there but the actuator doesn't even try to move. So I go ok replace the actuator no problemo, EXCEPT IT IS RIVETED IN THERE. Whose bright idea was it to do that... Unless I'm seeing incorrectly I see no way of taking it out with out drilling out those rivets, then re-bolting the new one in some how?

Am I correct on this?

Thanks

 

Please someone comment, I searched the forums and google and nothing came up for this year, they talk about simply unbolting it in the later years... That would be nice.

I'd like to get it out tomorrow, I guess if I don't get any responses I'll drill out the rivets and go from there...

 

WOW.... Guess I'll be drilling it out, hope thats what I'm supposed to do since I get no help here about this.

 

?????????

 

LOL! Im sorry but that is just too funny.

 

I guess it's like power window motors. They're riveted in also. Unless someone can suggest an easier alternative you don't have many choices. IMO

WOW!
I am so glad I replaced all my doors with manual ones then!
Some people think thats a dumb idea...wait till I tell'em bout this.

 

lol guys... well **** guess I gotta borrow a cordless drill to go out in the junk yard and get these lil ********... there all riveted even the door ones I notice now, this sucks why the **** did jeep do this.... so has anyone actually replaced a actuator? what bolts or screws can i use? and does anyone know the last year that they used the same door lock ones? I want to try to get the newest ones I can.

 

Try some 1/4-20 bolts and lock nuts.
And enough with the profanity. This is a Child Friendly site.

 

lol why would a child be looking up stuff for their jeep
besides I didnt actually use any profanity any way maybe just the one misspelled work. But I will lay off the missspelled "profanity" never the less

Thanks anyway I'll pick up some bolts n a cordless drill and be on my way

 

Because some of us try to foster this hobby to our children, so they can enjoy it as much as we do!

Thanks for your help Dan!

 

Hey I'm just doing my part to help keep this a clean safe site.
