If the rear right door on your 1996-1997 Acura RL no longer responds to the power locks, a worn Acura RL door lock actuator may be the cause, and the Standard Ignition Door Lock Actuator DLA-128 is designed to replace it. This power door lock actuator is a direct-fit replacement for the listed application in the rear right door position.
A door lock actuator is the electrically driven unit inside the door. It moves the latch's lock mechanism when you operate the power door locks.
Signs this part may need replacing: the rear right door won't lock or unlock with the power controls, the lock moves slowly or only works intermittently, or you hear buzzing or clicking inside the door. A blown fuse, a faulty switch or damaged wiring can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing the actuator.
Fitment: 1996-1997 Acura RL, rear right door. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.
