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.

 

Its in your door.

Probably called "door lock auctuator"

 

Heres some pic's of when i did mine

 

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.

 

IS there no where I can find a new one? I hate going to junk yards. Never know what your getting.

 

dealer, 195 bucks is what they quoted me.

i paid 12 bucks for mine at the junkyard off a wrecked 2001 dodge caravan.

 

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

 

My driver side door lock is kinda of spastic but for 195 bucks that damn key is gonna get more pushing action then tiger woods.

Heres one a little cheaper and new.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/New-D...Q5fAccessories

One more even cheaper.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/DODGE...Q5fAccessories

 

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