Yea, where the lock is at doesn't matter. It only opens from the inside.
Add me to the club of people that had no idea there was a key hole under the emblem. My key actually works the lock properly, though.

After my first actuator fix failed during the winter, I attempted it again with JB weld and had issues with clearance to the plastic case. I filed it down and but then had alignment issues and gave up. The local toyota yard wanted $75 for the piece. A quick Google search brought up the passenger door lock actuators manufactured by AISIN(OEM). The driver's side rear door lock actuator looked to be identical. Part number: AISIN DLT088. Ended up being $50 with shipping. This morning I installed the actuator and it fit perfect. Initially I did have some issues with it fulling locking but that was fixed by loosening the two actuator screws and realigning it. Now it is working perfectly and the wife is happy.
This post was spot on for me. Thanks all!

Awesome. I’m wanting to say I had another issue with the actual plunger about a year ago, something to do with a set screw on the plunger rod maybe, but my power lock/unlock is still holding up
so the glueing of the split piece inside the original actuator didn't actually work for me, but replacing the actuator with the one @legacymax mentioned worked perfectly.
Replacing the actuator is working great. Thanks!
I just replaced my rear hatch power door lock actuator with the Aisin DLT088, which was the same as the drivers (US) side rear power door lock actuator. The post was spot on and the replacement worked like new! Since the actuator failure is due to the crack of the swingarm that holds it to the metal shaft - with the gears and motor still in good working order, I’m keeping it as spare parts in hope to fix my drivers side power lock that is starting to act funny.

I am in the process of fixing mine by trying to bond it at the crack and reinstalling the arm in the actuator. I think this might not work since it will probably split again when I try to put it over the shaft.
I will try epoxy next if this fails. I enjoy fixing it more than just replacing a part. There is joy in it.
Just tried it and it didn’t work. I am going to look into 3D printing the arm.

So I found a guy and he is going to work to get this part made. Right now he did a test print for scale and to take measurements. Once it looks good he will make one with a higher quality material. I’ll test this out for a while and if there are no issues (and he lets me) I’ll post their contact information.
Updates: the far left was the original with a crack. The next is a mock up to measure and so was the white. The light blue was made to scale and seems to be right. The far right was the final part. It was made with carbon fiber woven into the plastic (that’s what I understood) so it’s real strong. The tolerance for the inner diameter is tight so I had to use an 8 or 9mm to beat it on but it’s real tight. Just using it a few times since instal and works great.

@joccomalone Do you have update on how this actuator is working? I am having the same issue and would like to print a new one if the file is available.

@joccomalone Will this part work inside the driver's door lock actuator? I am assuming all doors on the 80 have the same door lock actuator assemblies, has anyone confirmed this? Also, I understand the reason behind selling the part (compensation for design time, etc.) but I have a Bambu labs printer and it would be way more convenient to just purchase the files. Tempted to design my own part and post it on Maker World.

I have gotten rid of my cruiser, but if memory recalls all the lock actuator have that same part in them. A 3D printed part would probably help the community greatly
There are already quite a few parts on thingiverse. Would be nice to have this so I could print it.
The rear hatch and rear left doors are the same. The front door has a similar one but not the same and the right doors are mirror images of the left.
The drivers door needs some modifications. I would reach out to the guy who made my part. I paid for the file to be made and then the part. He might be willing to give up the file.
