Hey all,
I have searched but I pretty much suck at searching. I think my drivers side door lock actuator has gone bad. (push the lock button and all locks lock except the driver door) I can easily manually lock the drivers door just not by hitting the remote or the button on the door. I have done a web search for the correct part number but have come up empty. are these parts not made anymore or as stated above do I just suck at searching? does anyone have a part number for the drivers side front door lock actuator for an 04 dakota?
thanks in advance

 

I don't have a part number but there are a ton of them on Ebay, both new and used. Here is a link to a used one, if you are looking for new, just type in "2004 Dodge Dakota door lock actuator" in Ebay's search bar.

EDIT: Just found the MOPAR part number: Part # 55256713AM

There is a new OEM part listed for sale here:

The door lock and latch mechanism is a one piece unit. They are also available at Oreilly's.

 

ok cool, I was a little leary of the ebay ones because some of them said up thru '03 and others thru '04 but both had the same part number (unless i read it wrong.)
I checked pep boys, auto zone and advance auto with no luck I didnt think about oreillys thanks for the input.

 

They changed the body style of the Durangos in '04, then the Dakotas changed in '05. So this part works on Durangos up to '03 and Dakotas 'til '04.

 

OOOHHHHH I didnt know that, I thought both models switched body styles in the same year, that is very helpful! and broadens all of my parts searches. thank you!
