If a failed actuator has left a rear door that won't lock or unlock electrically, the Dorman door lock actuator motor 746-183 replaces it. It is a non-integrated actuator that moves the door's lock mechanism when the power lock switch is used. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2001-2003 Ford F-150, 2004 Ford F-150 Heritage and 2002-2004 Ford Lobo. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list. It is listed for both the rear left and rear right door positions.

  • Reliable replacement: this actuator has been put through extensive quality and safety performance testing.
  • Perfect fit: engineered as a direct replacement for the stock actuator, designed to match the original actuator's fit and function on the listed applications.
  • Safety compliant: the part has gone through simulated crash testing under government guidelines.
  • Long-lasting repair: cycle testing inside an actual vehicle door is used to verify effective operation for years.

Signs this Dorman lock actuator may need replacing include a rear door that no longer locks or unlocks with the power switch, slow or weak lock movement, or a buzzing or clicking sound from inside the door. Wiring, switches and fuses can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing the actuator.
