In this video I replace the passenger side door lock actuator on my 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe. This is a common problem on these cars and this the 3 one replaced on this car. However, the last one I did was 2 years ago, so I was a little rusty. Thanks for watching.

Thanks, Gary. With the help of your video, I was able to replace my driver-side door lock actuator with confidence. It took me around 2.5 hours. However, I know it was done well. No screws were left over :)

Thanks for the video. I had to change out the handle support (White GF Nylon part) and while I was in there replaced the Black GF Nylon part that snaps on to the lock actuator. It was on $12 and looked flimsy. All total $70 with shipping and about 2 hrs labor

Love the video. I learned a lot from this video. I also have a 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe and I had to replace the driver door Actuator. However, I broke my door handle in the process and now I have to replace the handle.

I have a 2011 Santa fe and that medal door panel is just a bit different. I can get out all bolts that are visible, move the panel away from the 2 alignment pins, but it still feels stuck. Any thoughts?

I have a 2008 Santa Fe. All locks work normal except the driver's side will not unlock from outside with either fob or key only from inside handle. I can hear the kerklunk on drivers door when I press the unlock on the fob but to unlock i have to use the the inside latch. Is this the actuator or a disconnected cable problem?

@garysgarage2118 3 ай бұрын

It is hard to diagnose without testing the car in person. But the actuators are a very common problem with these cars. I replace three on my car. Both fronts and one rear.

Thanks for the video, bit the latch is locked and the door won't open how do I do this process with the door on and it won't open?

@garysgarage2118 3 ай бұрын

You should still be able to unlock it manually. If not the latch release may be broken. In that case get a replacement door card from a wrecker before you start in case you break yours. You need to remove it to get at the cables. But try removing the inside latch and pull in the cables directly.

Thanks for video! Super helpful. I'm having a problem with the door handle once back together. I'm hearing an extra click when i pull the handle and then the cable on the door handle (black one) won't retract back out and the door lock freezes (can't manually lock or unlock it). I have to remove the door lock cable and slightly pull on it in order for the door handle to fully retract. It works perfectly if that cable is not installed in the slot on the handle bracket. This is not a problem i had with the old unit. It's like the handle doesn't have enough range of motion for the new actuator. Any thoughts here?

I'm stuck at 1610. I can't find any bolt. I did everything else and it won't come off. It's loose , but I feel like those orange dot thing is hold on to the window bracket. I'm doing the rear passenger. I think the rivets holding the bracket..

@garysgarage2118 10 ай бұрын

There are a couple of locating pins but if you pull on the panel they will come out. The orange painted bolts are on the clamps that hold the window to the regulator. Adjust the window until you can see the bolts then loosen but don't remove them. You should now be able slide the window up by hand. Put a long piece of tape over the top of the door frame and tape it to the window on both sides. This will hold it up while you do the rest of the job. I hope that helps

Gary, 2013 Hyundai sport where open door indicator will stay on when driver door is closed which keeps interior lights on. Will randomly shut off then come on again. Alarm will frequently go off when doors are locked. Door latch has a little wiggle to it. Would this cause the indicator to randomly come on. Thanks in advance for your input. Great video.

@garysgarage2118 5 ай бұрын

The switch for the door closed signal to body module is in the actuator assembly. They seem to be a problem part. The 2013 is slightly different than the 2010.

@rodhudson8714 Ай бұрын

Thanks Gary, great video. I replaced the actuator with a used one from the auto wreckers. It lasted for two days then the same problem. It won't lock or unlock the door automatically. Do you have any suggestions other than try another actuator?

@garysgarage2118 Ай бұрын

Just get new ones from Rock Auto or someplace like that. It’s common for these to become intermittent before failing completely. It a crap shoot to get one from a wrecker. They should refund you.

@TheDuskmourn Жыл бұрын

Just keep the key position the same on the key part that's the cover on the other side and test out the lock with the latch closed on the narrow door frame side. Basically the same though.

@Gr0m3t Жыл бұрын

How did you figure out which door actuator it was? Did yours lock and unlock itself when putting it into drive as if one of the locks wasn’t working right so the computer kept locking and unlocking? Mine does it about 3-4 times then stays locked. I just need to know how to diagnose which one I guess. Any help is appreciated

@garysgarage2118 Жыл бұрын

If a door doesn’t lock the body control module will try three times to lock it before giving up. Once locked a switch in the actuator closes and tells the BCM it’s locked. If all the doors lock it doesn’t retry. To figure out the faulty door. It will be the the one not locked

@@garysgarage2118 ok guess next time I’ll check by putting on the parking brake in drive. Cause none of the indicators stay in the unlocked position. I did spray lube in the latches 8 months ago and it stopped. But just did it again one time yesterday. Thought it was the heat 84 degrees. Thanks for the help. Didn’t know it went through a check of 3 times. Thought it was just on the fritz.

@garysgarage2118 8 ай бұрын

Did you inadvertently mix up the cables? It's hard to tell from your note. Take your time and retrace your steps. You will find what is wrong. Test the functions before completing the assembly. IE you can test the module with out installing it. Test the door handle release by pulling on the cable that goes to the handle before putting the handle on. That way you can pin point the issue. Good luck. GG

Hi and thanks for the video! If i close my Santa Fe, it is trying to close again all 20 - 40 seconds. That pulls out my batterys energy maybe. And i hear the lock at the back of the car also. Is it the same Part which is damaged, but on the divers side maybe? If i want to open with the remote, all Doors are opened instantly, but the drivers door only is opening after the second or third try.

@garysgarage2118 6 ай бұрын

Thanks for your comment. This a typical way the actuator fails. When you lock or unlock with the remote the body control computer will send up to three attempts to the lock actuators until it gets confirmation that they are all locked. Sounds like its time for a new actuator on the drivers side.

@georgebush6942 6 ай бұрын

Thank you very much Gary! Now I will try to get the actúator. With my diagnostic system, i could See that all Doors are closing, but it has shown, that drivers door stays opened, also if the door was closed. I wasnt 100% sure.

You could have improved the whole demonstration a lot by having a buddy be your camera man, hold it steady and use 2 hands for the operation! Movement of the camera made it difficult to visualize the broader picture. sometimes we could not see what you were describing. I think your info was good, but lacked on the presentation. Thanks!

That is tough. I haven’t done it that way. Follow the instructions for the door handle. You should be able to get the cover off by opening the back door. Then loosen the screw and remove the door handle. With some luck you can open the door by pulling on the cable.
