If a failed actuator has left your front left door lock unresponsive, the Dorman door lock actuator motor, part number 759-456, replaces it. It is a direct-fit replacement for the front left door of the 2003-2009 Kia Sorento, and it is designed to install and operate like the original actuator.
This non-integrated door lock actuator is the electric motor unit that drives the door's lock mechanism when the power lock system is activated. Non-integrated means the door latch is not part of this unit.
- Reliable replacement: put through extensive quality and safety performance testing.
- Correct fit: engineered to fit and work like the original actuator on the listed applications.
- Safety compliant: has undergone simulated crash testing under government guidelines.
- Cycle tested: operation verified through cycle testing in an actual vehicle door.
Signs a door lock actuator may need replacing include a front left lock that no longer responds to the power lock switch, one that works only intermittently, or buzzing or clicking noises from inside the door. Wiring, fuses or the switch can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing the actuator. For full application details, see the "Vehicles it fits" section.
