1998 Toyota Corolla Electric Door Lock Problem

The right rear power door lock quit working about a year ago. The right front lock quit about two weeks ago. The driver's side control locks and unlocks the two left doors. The front passenger side control locks and unlocks the two left doors. The doors on the right make a clicking sound but nothing happens. Turning the key in the right side passenger door unlocks and locks that door and the two left side doors. How best to solve this problem?

You'll need to replace the solenoid (motor) that doesn't work. Not hard once you get the door panel off. I suggest you buy the correct part, not a universal one.

2010 Toyota Corolla power locks acting up

Sounds like your door lock actuators have worn out. If you take of the inside of your door (panel) there are little electric motors that unlock/lock your doors. When they fail you can not use your locks anymore. You could get some from a salvage yard and install yourself. If any place carries them besides your dealer it'd be cheaper to go there so you may want to look into that if you don't think you want/can do the job yourself.

Hello. The power windows each need a new window motor assembly which includes a new track system.

1998 toyota corolla rear door lock actuator not working. How do I remove old one? Can it be replaced by so-called ''universal' lock actuator? Thanks

You can replace with any of "universal" actuator.
Its just a small motor inside power door lock, that works up and down according to the electricity that come into it. Good luck !

1998 Jeep Cherokee Internal locks and power locks Not working.

Open the door panels and lube all of your lock mechanisms. They tend to get stuck and it harms the locking motor. After I lube mine up, they freely move. Just spray some lithium grease and manually lock and unlock the door with the rocker until it moves very easily. You'll probably have to do this once a year like I do.

Doors won't open

Jakenju, I would bet that the rod from the outer door handle is either off at the handle or the door latch on the pass door. Mayhap exact same problem on rear door.
