So it's been a while since I've torn open my 80 series and today I wanted to tackle the driver-side door lock not locking. So skinny is that the driver-side door lock will not lock with the buttons but can be locked with the key. So I tore open my driver-side door and pulled out the actuator. I first checked it and while I can feel something trying to turn in the actuator it makes no progress at all. so I pulled the baby over to my work bench and figured id just replace the whole thing, Gulp* till I looked at the price for a used one.... (ya I'm cheap) sooo I then proceeded to tear it open. I have it all apart on my workbench and I guess my main question is, Id like to just replace the motor as that seems to be the only part that is moving, Does anyone have a good link to a replacement motor. Secondly, there is a little doo hickey that has it's own smaller wire and connector, it has power running to it but I don't see a motor, does this thing have a motor or is it just used to sense when the key opens the car door twice to unlock all the doors? (pictures included)
And lastly, the connectors where pretty corroded inside and I broke the sleeve off the smaller connector, if I have to replace this with a used one is there a wire I can find another connector and resplice my wires (again pictures included as this is probably pretty confusing to describe)
