The Dorman door lock actuator motor 746-180 is a non-integrated door lock actuator that moves the lock mechanism inside the door when the power lock system signals it to lock or unlock. It fits many Ford vehicles, among them the 2004-2019 Ford E-350 Super Duty, 2003-2017 Ford E-450 Super Duty and 2003-2014 Ford E-150. It is cataloged for the front left, front right and rear door positions. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.
This Dorman lock actuator is designed as a direct replacement for the stock actuator on the listed applications, and it has been through Dorman's testing:
- Tested for reliability: the actuator has been through extensive quality and safety performance testing.
- Original-style fit: engineered to fit and work like the original actuator on the listed applications.
- Safety compliant: put through simulated crash testing under government guidelines.
- Cycle tested: operated repeatedly in an actual vehicle door to verify effective use for years.
Signs a door lock actuator may need replacing include a door that won't lock or unlock with the power switch, locks that work only some of the time, or a buzzing or clicking sound from inside the door. Wiring, switches or fuses can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing the actuator.
