Dorman - OE Solutions Door Lock Actuator Motor P/N:746-721
When a worn-out actuator leaves a sliding door's power lock unresponsive, the Dorman door lock actuator motor, part number 746-259, is built to take its place. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2001-2020 Dodge Grand Caravan, 2001-2016 Chrysler Town & Country and 2012-2015 Ram C/V, and it is catalogued for both the left side and right side sliding door. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list. This non-integrated door lock actuator from Dorman's OE Solutions line is the motor that moves the lock mechanism when you use the power lock switch or remote.
Signs the actuator may need replacing include a sliding door that won't lock or unlock with the switch or remote while the other doors still do, locks that work only some of the time, and buzzing or clicking inside the door panel. A blown fuse, a faulty switch, damaged wiring or a latch problem can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause first. If the actuator is at fault, this Dorman unit replaces it.
