Great video. After watching twice you have helped me decide to just PAY my mechanic to do this job 😂😂

@alext6933 24 күн бұрын

Haha. I just did it myself after buying a $20 door actuator from Amazon. It wasn't all that bad. 😊 Assuming you have the necessary tools and a little bit of manual dexterity. I would hate to see what a dealer would charge for this.

This was a great step by step process. Thanks for posting this up! Hopefully the front door will become easier then the rear one because it was a PITA. The rear door isn't as large as the front one and had very little room to get your fingers in there. Too many clips and retainers kept popping off when trying to install the rear one.

GREAT step by step!!! No annoying commentary, just right to the point. The way God intended! 🪨 auto has this part at different prices, depending on which door. I lucked out and had the cheapest door's actuator to replace, front passenger! Haha! Front driver is nearly twice the price! 🙄 Weird. Thanks! **Update** Just today my stupid lock jammed shut (locked) for no apparent reason! Now I can't even open my front passenger door! Going to have to see if I can't remove the door panel without being able to open the door and hopefully unjam the lock. 🤞 **Update#2** Turns out my after-market actuator only lasted about 2 months. Now it jams locked and jams open every other click. Have to manually force open the lock button next to the handle with a LOT of pressure while simultaneously pressing the electric button for it to open most of the time. Feels like I'm going to break something just to open the door. Ended up ordering a genuine Hyundai part for twice the price. About to re-replace it now. 🙄

Hugely useful even for a 2006 Sonata. Had done 2 replacements already over the years, but the driver's door is different, so did a video refresher when your video appeared and blew my mind with your approach of leaving the actuator attached to the door panel on removal and reinstallation. Wonder if that would have worked with the non-driver doors? Probably! This job got done fast with that tip, thank you!

Excellent video, let me ask you something. I understand that the problem this Sonata had was in the power lock, but did the door open from the interior Chrome handle or not. I am very confused and I don't know what to change. I'll explain right away. 2013 sonata 2.0 Turbo, my passanjer door was working fine until me and my nephew get into a miss understanding and the door lock suffered a brain fart. He was opening from the out side while I was unlocking from the main switch and the famous, now, not now, not yet, it's lock still? and that happened. Now the door is like always locked, the small chrome piece to unlock like in your video is not responding nor the handle from outside, ONLY the handle from inside open the door. Any idea which of all these parts when wrong, could be the same as yours, if your car was not opening from outside. IDEAS PLEASE, THANK YOU SO MUCH, THIS VIDEO IS THE WAY VIDEOS SHOULD BE MAKE, THANKS AGAIN

My front passenger won't unlock with the remote clicker for the passenger to get in. All the other doors open fine. But when I put the transmission into drive the passenger lock closes fine. Frustrating because I brought it to the dealer while my warranty was still and said only the driver side opens not realizing only the passenger side was faulty. The rep opened the rear door and said its fine see? So now I have to fix it on my dime. Argh. Any idea what I need to buy? Also, after I picked up the car for a clock spring repair on the steering wheel my gas mileage reads 13 mpg. It was 20 mpg before the repair. I brought it in earlier in the year when if dropped from 24 mpg to about 16 mpg. They did a fuel service, I changed the spark plugs, air filter and it was only marginally better. The dealer tried to blow it off as driving style. But I drive this car pretty conservatively. Should I try a fuel injection cleaner?

You should do the actual math every time you fill up. You should also consider buying cheap gas. It is getting really expensive, and gas stations might be cheating for profit. In the 70's, and 80's people used to water it down.
