Hey guys
I have bought a power door lock off ebay, i think around half year already
now the passenger's side actuator is WEAK, it doesn't have enough power to unlock/lock my door !!
IT SUCKS...

Anybody have any experience?? it's OMEGA, the brand is OMEGA

Anybody have one that lasted LONG time? What is the brand and where can I get it??

thanks!

head to a junk yard

 

up

 

The ones I'm using are DEI's. Seem to be working well so far. I've never heard of Omega though.

 

I'e never heard of Omega either. I got a JC Whitney kit to power my deadbolts for $70. They may sell the actuators alone, all you'd have to do is connect them to the existing wiring.

Just thinking out loud, an actuator is just a magent in a tube. There isn't much to fail or weaken. I might see if the linkage inside the door is binding or rubbing somewhere and making it just a little too difficult for the actuator to move.

 

i actually took off my door panel and let it just operate
i even lossen that rod so that it is not connecting to the lock
then i press the button, and it's still very weak.....
so i think it's not working well

 

where did u get ur DEI?

 

mine is a 5 wires actuator
i am not sure if it will work on a 2 wires actuator..

any idea?

 

hahaha

 

Yeah..I need a actuator also for my doorlock..worked fine for the past 5 years, but it just conked out on me a few days ago. I will purchase one and install it and let you know what brand i get.

 

you will need 2 bosch-type relays

 

damn.. it sucks then !

coz i have seen 2 wires actuator cheap
but if i need 5 wires, i need to buy the whole ki t!!

 

I had some installed with my alarm (don't know what brand) and they work fine and all but I find them too stiff...
My friend even broke the latch while he was trying to unlock the door.
And I can't use the latch to lock the doors.

So I was thinking of getting the OE ones if I ever found myself with some extra money b/c they are softer
Are the OE ones no good???

 

unless i'm mistaken, the OE ones are built into the latch mechanism...dunno for sure

 

OE??

what iS OE>>?

 

OE= Original Equipment

 

i thought is OEM

 

Really?? I'll have to check my service manual again this weekend but it seemed like it fitted onto the latch mechanism not built-in...

In any case... is it just my actuators that are stiff or are all/most of the aftermarket ones stiff also??

PS. OE = OEM same thing.... I can't edit my post if it's making you uneasy.

 

hmm.. i found my aftermarket actuator a big stiff..
but it's not THAT stiff that it will brake the latch..

can we use OEM actuator in our car?? i wish i can....... damn.. also scroll windows !
