What is a lock latch actuator?

The lock actuator locks and unlocks your vehicle doors with a motorized component. The actuator can be found near the lock mechanism. Sometimes, the actuator is built within the latch.

When do you replace the lock latch actuator?

There are two ways you can recognize when your Chevrolets lock latch actuator is not working properly. Use a remote device or keypad to unlock the door. Or, press the unlock button (or buttons) on the inside door panel. In each case, if the door does not unlock, you may need to purchase a new one or make a repair.

The following are signs that you may need to replace the lock latch actuator in your vehicle:

  • The lock latch actuator stops working completely.
  • It starts producing a buzzing or squeaking sound when you press the lock or unlock buttons.
  • The electric motor may be wearing out if the locks operate slowly or only work part of the time.
  • The door may not lock or unlock properly.
  • The cable could be broken.
What is the function of the door striker plate?

The striker plate is mounted on the body of your Expresss door. The door will catch on this striker plate as it closes, so it forms a tight, secure fit. These parts ensure that your door does not fly open while you are driving. If the striker plate is broken, it is very difficult to get in and out of your vehicle. The metal that makes up the striker plate is very strong, so it wont wear out fast. However, if it is damaged, the part needs replacing.

When do you replace the striker plate?
  • You have a hard time closing the door and getting it to latch or you have trouble getting the latch to release while opening the door.
  • The door may rattle and sound loose while you are driving.
  • When you open or close the door, the door moves up or down as it comes in contact with the striker plate.
  • You can see physical damage on the door striker plate itself.
