Default Help finding this part.

On my 1997 dodge ram I have power locks, When I press the button I hear the normal noise and it doesnt move the driver side lock, the whole power part is weak and I would like to replace it. Any Idea on where to find this part?

Junkyard, you're going to have to replace the whole latch because it's built into one piece.

Any durango,ram, dodge van will fit i actually have a dodge cara van latch on my passengerside.

when you do it, move the old striker plate on to the new assembally and install it there. It'll help line up the door.

I bought mine from a bone yard for $25 3 years ago. Still working. There on E Bay for, I think, $75 or so.

The listing for $45 is for the right (passenger) side.
