Power the lock at the front left door with the Dorman door lock actuator motor, part number 937-650, a direct-fit replacement for the 2008-2012 Ford Escape and 2008-2011 Mercury Mariner. Dorman describes this unit as an integrated door lock actuator, and it installs at the front left door position on the listed applications.
The actuator is the electric motor unit inside the door that moves the lock mechanism when the power lock switch or remote sends a lock or unlock signal. If a failed actuator is why the front left door no longer responds to the power locks, this unit replaces it.
- Quality tested: Put through extensive quality and safety performance testing.
- OE-matched fit: Designed as a direct replacement for the stock actuator, matching the original actuator's fit and function on the listed applications.
- Safety compliant: Subjected to simulated crash testing under government guidelines.
- Cycle tested: Verified through cycle testing inside an actual vehicle door for effective use over years of service.
Signs this actuator may need replacing include a front left door that won't lock or unlock with the power lock switch or remote, locks that work only intermittently, or a buzzing or clicking sound from inside the door. Wiring, switch or fuse faults can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for complete fitment details.
