The Standard Ignition Door Lock Actuator DLA-219 drives the lock mechanism in the rear left door, moving it to lock or unlock when you use the power lock controls. It is a direct-fit replacement for several models, among them the 2001-2005 Toyota Prius, 1998-2005 Lexus GS300 and 2001-2005 Lexus GS430. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.
A door lock actuator turns the signal from the power lock switch into the motion that locks or unlocks the door. Over time an actuator can wear or fail. When that happens, the door may stop responding, respond only some of the time, or make buzzing or clicking sounds from inside the panel. These are signs the part may need replacing, but switches, wiring and fuses can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause first. If you are planning a 2001-2005 Toyota Prius door lock actuator replacement on the rear left door and the original actuator is the fault, DLA-219 replaces it. Follow the vehicle service information for access and installation.
