Designed to drive the lock mechanism in the rear right door, the Dorman door lock actuator motor, part number 937-973, is a direct replacement for the stock actuator on the 2011-2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee and 2011-2021 Dodge Durango. This integrated door lock actuator is engineered to give the same fit and function as the original unit it replaces.
A door lock actuator is the electric unit inside the door that moves the lock to the locked or unlocked position when a command comes from the power lock switch or remote. Dorman tests this actuator for quality, safety and repeated use.
- Reliable replacement: put through extensive quality and safety performance testing.
- Engineered fit: built to give the same fit and function as the original actuator on the listed applications.
- Safety compliant: tested in simulated crashes under government guidelines.
- Cycle tested: repeated cycling in an actual vehicle door is used to verify years of effective use.
Signs the actuator may need replacing include a rear right door that won't lock or unlock with the switch or remote, locks that work only some of the time, or buzzing or clicking from inside the door. Wiring, switches and fuses can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing the actuator. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for full fitment details.
