10mm Flat Shaft Central Door Lock Actuator Motor FC-280PC-22125 FLAT SHAFT, D Spindle, Power Locking Repair Engine

Replacement motor for actuators on the Lexus and Toyotas. Hard to pry apart the actuator without breaking them. I have replaced about 6 of these and am pretty good at it. It is like the OG kid game of Operation. Installation takes some skill. Great savings. They have been working for about 5 years since I replaced them. They are the right fit and they hold up well.

Update 2016-02-11: I can't believe it has been almost 2 1/2 years! The motors are still working fine for the automatic locks on the Lexus. The front passenger side failed, but not due to the motor -- rather the gears inside the lock mechanism were partially stripped a long time ago. I've tried several things to remedy the problem, but I've finally just given up and deal with the nuisance of locking that door by hand (thankfully it is the least important of the four doors for automatic locking). Anyway, just wanted to give a quick update to let you know that the motors are still working fine. Haven't had any issues on the other 3 doors and, frankly, haven't thought about them for a long time, so was surprised to realize it has been over 2 years already. Never did get around to putting together a video, unfortunately. I have added a couple of photos showing (1) the inside of the mechanism (sorry it is a little blurry), (2) how to remove the shaft sleeve from the old motor, and (3) how to safely attach the sleeve to the new motor without damaging the motor or bending the shaft. ----- Bought this to replace the motor in the door lock actuator mechanism for my 2001 Lexus RX 300. Initially replaced the driver's door motor and it worked well, so I bought 3 more and have now replaced the other 3 door lock motors. All the locks are working perfectly now for the first time in over a year. Definitely worth the purchase. Just a couple of quick details: - This motor is identical in size to the original OEM door lock motor, so fit is not an issue. Placement of leads is also identical. - The OEM motor has a round shaft; this one is flat. However, the door lock actuator mechanism has a sleeve that fits *very* tightly over either shaft, so not a problem. - I decided to purchase this motor because the shaft length is identical to the original OEM. However, you should be aware that the same seller sells a long shaft version of this motor for a couple $ less. I didn't buy it myself, but if you want to save a couple of $ I'm guessing it would work fine. There is some space available in the actuator mechanism for a longer shaft, and if worse comes to worst you could probably trim a few mm off the end of the longer shaft if you are handy. Anyway, just a thought for anyone who wants to save a couple of $. I have tentatively given 5 stars because the motor is working perfectly right now as a replacement for the OEM part and is precisely what I needed (not to mention saving me several hundred $ on what a mechanic would have charged for the work). I don't know how long it will hold up, so I will revisit my rating if it fails within a year, but for now I'm granting the full rating. I'm hoping to get a video posted in the next few weeks about how to do the motor change work. In the meantime, let me know if you have specific questions about a Lexus RX300 motor change (unfortunately I probably can't be much help with other makes or models).

I recently bought a pre-owned Prius, and about a week into owning it, the front door lock stopped working with the fob and the button on the door's interior, only using the mechanical key worked. I was looking into buying the entire actuator, which ranged from about $30-$60 from what I could see, but opted to just try replacing the motor instead. Worked like a charm! Definitely more tedious, messy, and time-consuming work compared to just replacing the whole thing, but I think it was definitely worth it. Glad I saved overall! The tutorial I followed is called "Car Door Lock Actuator Repair/Replacement...$8 - Complete Instructions - Toyota, Lexus & Others", very easy to follow and highly recommend!

How do I rate higher than 5 stars? This thing is worth it's weight in gold....well not really since gold is currently at about $1,180/ounce and this motor weighs about 1.5 ounces. I sure as heck won't pay $1,600 for this motor, but I think you understand what I'm saying. Welcome to Actuator Anonymous. Where owners of Toyota/Lexus vehicles come looking for motors to replace the dead one in our door lock actuators. Many of us have already replaced the actuator in the pat after spending over $100 on Amazon only to have the part fail again a year or two later. We're tired of it. We want our doors to open without having to *GASP* put our key in the door handle to unlock the door. Let me introduce myself.....Hi, I'm Scott and I'm an actuatorholic. I replaced the actuator on my 2006 4Runner about two years ago after spending $120 on the part and it's on the fritz again. I want to fix it cheaply. I surfed the web for hours one night and found this motor. Other people say it works. I trust them. I bought it. I spent the rest of the night watching cat videos. This motor was a perfect fit for my car. A teeny weeny bit of a hassle opening the actuator to get the motor replaced, but nothing too terrible. It was certainly worth the $110 I saved. If you own a Toyota/Lexus, chances are is the motor you need. Don't quote me on it, do your own research, but rest assured replacing just the motor will work. Good luck! ###UPDATE October 11, 2016### The motor I purchased to install in my driver's side door is still going strong. My left, rear passenger door lock actuator is acting up and needs a new motor. I purchased two this time since it's just a matter of time before another door stops working. ###UPDATE December 2016### I finally got some free time to work on the rear, driver's side lock actuator. This motor fits (just like it did for the driver's door), but the replacement of the motor was trickier. Opening of the lock actuator to gain access to the motor was more difficult but the new motor slid in with no problems. Put everything back together and it works like a charm. Now I'm just waiting for the locks on the passenger side to stop working.
