It seems door lock actuators in our otherwise wonderful cars are prone to premature failure. I know there is a way to replace the motor on the cheap, but I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with generic door lock actuators sold on eBay and elsewhere. There is a 2-wire deal:

And a 5-wire one:

Which one would be right?

Thanks to all for your input!

 

do a search on ebay for scion xb actuator. there is a video on there showing a generic 2 wire. I received mine today and hope to put it in tomorrow.

 

You may want to go with a 2 wire actuator, I recommend SPAL.
