98 chevy blazer driver side power lock
 

My driver side power door lock will unlock but not lock using the button. I can hear it engaging when I hit the button to lock it, but it just does not work. Any suggestion before I change out the actuator?

Any excessive friction in the connector rods?

Fixed
 

The actuator itself was broke in half fun fix but cant finish because it's starting to rain. Bought 1 at a junkyard for 5 bucks. The ole blazer is coming together

My new blazer is doing this too. Thanks for making the job easier for me!

My actuator is doing the same thing but I can't figure out how to get to it. Can you post a "how to"? Maybe with pics or a video?

The easiest thing for me was taking the window track out then taking power lock actuator out. I just winged it for the most part couldn't find a YouTube video anywhere. I dont know how to post videos and pictures.

How was the actuator attached to the door?

The 3 screws on the door where it meets the strike plate and 4 rods on the inside of the door and 3 plugs
