  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

Hey everyone. I just successfully replaced a bad electric door lock actuator on the passenger side rear door of my 2012 R-Spec. I do not have a shop manual. Hyundai sure is a clever company. I took pictures and noted the tools used. Can anyone tell me how to share this job with narrative and the pictures? Is it even something of interest? I think it could also serve purpose if a window motor and/or regulator needed replacement, and changing the glass, too.

tech write-up are always helpful.

if you are on a PC you should be able to just write a new post and drag and drop the images into where you want them,, from a phone or tablet it's a little trickier as you have to share your photo album and select each image one at a time.

might be best to email the images to yourself and do from a PC.

Thanks. So I can write it with MS Word, for instance?
 
Question, did you have to reprogram anything when you replaced the actuator? I'm taking on this job tomorrow for my Genesis.

Nothing to reprogram. plug and play. Note, you will have to disconnect the window glass from the regulator and lift the glass up and out of the way. I used strong packaging tape to secure it on the outer surface. I liked how easily the door panel comes off without a lot of clips. None broke! There are two blank covers to easily remove at the armrest and door handle recessed location to start the job and get at fasteners. I did not remove any of the plastic window trim to get the door panel off. Just two wire connections and it's free. I took pictures of some of the tricky connections as not to forget. I actually enjoyed the job and was around 2 hours doing it. By researching various other Hyundai actuator jobs online I found that they all have similar steps to do the job. I found one for the genesis that just detailed removal of the door handle and seal. Very easy and clever and necessary.
 
Where did you buy and how much did it cost?

Did you get any pictures to help or links to instructions?

I found this on ebay for my Front Passenger Side:

$110; anywhere cheaper?

I cannot recall where I purchased my passenger side rear lock actuator. I searched the web by the Hyundai oem part number. I paid $97 delivered to Scottsdale, AZ in the Hyundai factory bag. 2012 5.0 Rspec.

Did you ever post photos anywhere?
 
Digging up this old thread, found this part


Wondering if this will work and if I need the metal panel out after taking the door card off.

Anyone?
