Loud buzz when locking doors

Post by jake75 »

Have a 2007 Chrysler T&C only 29,000 miles. Suddenly developed a loud approx 1 sec shrill buzz when locking the doors - seems to be from the front passenger door. No noise when unlocking. Any idea what this might be?

Probably the actuator. Not necessarily an expensive part, put can be a PITA to replace depending on where it's located in the door. Replaced one in a Sante Fe I used to have, not something I wanted to do twice.

In my case it is a choice of live with it or pay a dealer or independent garage to replace it. I'm 71 and wasn't all that handy when I was 21, or 31 etc.
Maybe it will get better when it warms up.
