Hey guys as the title states: My door locks stopped working. I've been putting up with it for a few months now and I believe it may be the lock actuator. Could it be something else? First it was my passenger lock that stopped functioning and now my driver's side lock stopped functioning...

What you recommend I do to test it?

Using a test light, or strand of LED (like i did)

take out the connector to actuator, there shud be 3 metal prongs

1 obviously is ground, 1 is positive for lock, 1 is positive for unlock

Tap into the ground on your ground wire, or hold it against a screw on door panel
Take positive of test light to touch 1 of the positive prongs

Then lock/unlock your car to see if the light goes on, if it does, the actuator is bad
