No one ever replied back. I haven't been able to find the part number.
Never mind, i just saw someone post it.
Noticed that Cruiser Outfitters is carrying Aisin replacement lock assemblies, good cheaper option for replacing the whole lock actuator vs. OEM and if you don't want to mess with prying open the broken one. Also comes with the cables and a clip (that I broke, lol).
I wonder if they'll add the back one...
Might be too late for you, but perhaps helps someone else -- but I just purchased this OEM part -- it seems to be 69293-12030 ("Snap, Door Outside Handle, #1"). This post was very helpful btw, as I'm looking replace the broken white plastic piece. Not sure it's needed, as the new actuator cables came with the clip needed -- but might replace regardless.
Quick note for the diy crowd replacing just the motor (especially with the amazon/ebay part) PLEASE do not use crazy permanent epoxy or super glue to put it back together. They will fail again. And the next guy will be dealeling with a previous "repair" fighting to get it back apart without destroying the plastic housing and tabs.

What will fail? The motor or the epoxy?
These motors still have a limited lifespan, and we are driving these rigs for as long as we can. Just saying the cases might need to come back apart
Case in point:
Case in point:
I would replace the motors as a one time inexpensive fix. If they fail again, I would just toss the whole actuator and buy a new Denso from RockAuto, they're not that expensive.
Thanks, I don't do things that way and the actuator and internals are perfectly fine. My point was these don't have to be "strongly epoxyed" cemented, welded, whatever, back together. That's not how Mr. T. did it and thanks to that (with a little heat) we can service them. The design of the plastic case is such that the screws even hold the outer/lower section to the mounting bracket, so added reinforcement.
Just be aware of what you get from Rockauto and the like.
You don't think Denso is good quality?
Sorry, they're not Denso, they're AISIN which is OEM.
Have you ever bought an aftermarket part from RockAuto and had it fail?
From the experience of others on here not gluing it back together sufficiently and having to dig back into the door and motor again, I'll go with epoxy. That little motor has a surprising amount of torque and it operates suddenly.
If it came across that I said "don't use epoxy" then please disregard/delete my posts.
The last thing I want to do is give bad information to the 100 forum.

Curious what adhesive you'd suggest then? Whatever it was from the factory that I had to pry apart was pretty damn strong.
What i did was to drill two small holes, insert a bolt through, lock tight the thread to hold both halves together.
It's held together for a few years now.

@fredward1 Did these work for you? I need to replace my passenger side front and driver side rearSame here. 2004 LC. Did you find a solution for this yet?
EDIT: found the correct motor on eBay just using the similar items. The buyer I used for the incorrect motor had the correct one and he’s located in New Jersey not China so shipping is quick.

This feels like good information. I have a 2003 LX470 and it seems that a lot of my parts end up right on the split year difference. So it’s nice knowing that a little bit of custom work can make either one fit.
