Hey guys, i've got a wire actuator installed on my hatch so that i can open it with my keyless entry. I went to go move it today (cause the idiot that put it in put it in the wrong spot) and when i unplugged it, it made a noise and now when i plug it back in, it won't work. Anyone know what happened or how to fix it? I'm hoping not to have to buy a new actuator, this one is one a few months old. thanks

power door lock actuator ? What kind and model 2 wire 3 wire ? Need more info. What kinda noise ? Its prolly burnt up or well its prolly burnt up.

 

it's a two wire actuator. i'll take a picture of it. all it is is it has two wire on one side (pos and neg) and a wire coming out of the other side. when you push the trunk button, it pulls the cable.

 

ahh like a poper those shouldnt make noises it is magnetized and clicks open. shake it see if you can hear the plunger

 

A new actautor is necessary =\

 

why do you say that?

 

it might have shorted to the case and burned up.

 

what did the noise sounds like?

 

i don't really know, kidna like it upspun, but actuators don't spin. here's a pic of what it looks like (it's out of the brace that attatched it to the hatch right now.



does is matter if the cord isn't tight? like will the actuator only work and pull if there's tension on it?
