Dorman - OE Solutions Door Lock Actuator Motor P/N:746-640
Power the front door locks from the switch again with the Dorman door lock actuator motor 746-185, a non-integrated actuator made as a direct-fit replacement for the front left or front right door of the 2005-2011 Ford Crown Victoria, 2005-2011 Lincoln Town Car and 2005-2011 Mercury Grand Marquis. Dorman designed it to take the place of the stock actuator and to match the original unit's fit and function on the listed vehicles. For engine-level details, see the Buyer's Guide tab.
The door lock actuator is the small electric motor inside the door that moves the lock mechanism when you press the lock switch or remote. If a worn actuator is why a front door will not lock or unlock electrically, locks only now and then, or buzzes or clicks without moving, this unit replaces it. Diagnose the cause before replacing, since wiring, fuses or the switch can produce the same signs.
