Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you how to remove and replace the driver's door lock actuator on this 2008 Dodge Ram. The process is the same for 2002- 2008 1500, as well as the '09 2500 and 3500s. We show you on the driver front door, but the procedure is pretty much the same for all doors.
You'll need a new Lock Actuator from 1AAuto.com, a 10mm socket and ratchet and extensions, #2 and #3 Phillips screwdrivers, flat blade screwdriver and a T-30 Torx driver.
Before we start the actuator, we want to make sure our window's rolled up so we have access to it.
Remove the 10mm bolt in the inside edge of the door handle. Remove the door handle from the opening. Remove the #3 Phillips behind the door handle, and in this top corner, two #2 Phillips on the bottom of the panel. Lift up on the door panel to release. Then we'll have to disconnect the two connectors from the window switch.
Disconnect your latch rod retaining clip. We press down on the retainer, move it out of the way, pull the latch rod out of the hold, and undo two 10mm nuts. Move the handle assembly from the door.
Remove the speaker. Remove the four #2 Phillips screws. Disconnect the connector from the speaker.
Move the foam out of the way to disconnect your mirror motor connector from the mirror motor. Use a flat head screwdriver to disconnect the harness retainer from the door. Peel back the water shield, set it to the side. Remove two T-30 Torx bolts. Move the inner window track out of your way.
Your door lock actuator is located here. Disconnect the retainer, the interior lock rod, exterior door handle rod, exterior door lock rod, interior door handle. Remove the three T-30 Torx bolts. Now, you can move the latch assembly, with the latch outside of the door skin. Disconnect the connector.
Here we have our old part from the vehicle and our new part from 1AAuto.com. As you can see, we have all the same connectors, the same clips. Flip it over, we have the same latch and mounting locations. It's going to bolt right up, direct fit, fix your problem.
Reconnect your connector, put your actuator back inside the door, line up the bolt holes, and install your T-30 Torx screws. Reinstall your interior door handle actuator rod. Reconnect exterior door lock rod, exterior door handle rod, and interior lock rod.
Move your lower window guide back into place, and line up and install your two T-30 Torx screws. Feed the wire harness back through the opening in the water dam, line up the corner, feed your interior door handle rod through the water dam. Press all that adhesive back onto the door.
Reconnect your mirror motor connector and the harness retainer to the inside of the door.
Reinstall the speaker, reconnect the connector, reinstall your four Phillips head screws. Reinstall your interior latch rod, clip the retainer into place, reinstall your two 10mm nuts.
Pop off the door lock bezel by pushing from the back. Reinstall your two window switch connectors. Line up the tabs in the door panel. Slide your door panel into place. Pop the door lock bezel back into place. Reinstall your four door panel screws. Hold your screw in place for the interior handle. Line it up and tighten it down.
Thanks for tuning in. We hope this video helped you out. Next time you need parts for your car, please visit 1AAuto.com. Also check out our other helpful how-to and diagnosis videos.

Matched the oem part exactly. Has been functioning just fine.
Found the howto video from 1A Auto on youtube. It was wel done and clear. Decided to order from them but out of stock. Support put me on the notify list and I ordered a week later. Came in on time, including all new rod clips (not show on photo's) Installed, and it works. One note: install top left door bolt first, THEN green rod clip before connecting the other 2 bolts that hold the unit to the door, otherwise one has to have magic fingers to make that happen.
perfectly resolved my issue. I bought if from 1a auto because you guys had the video showing the exact procedure.
So far the Driver Side door lock seems to be working great. The lifetime warranty was peace of mind as i read other websites where the part failed after the one year warranty. The part seems quality built so I am not anticipating that issue, but it is nice to know the part came with a lifetime warranty. I have never had an issue with poor quality parts from 1Aauto. Thanks!
the video provided online was very helpful. it listed all the required tools and provided detailed step by step directions. however, the reality of the replacement and the ease of replacement in the video didn't intersect for me. it seemed to take a bit more time than i thought it should have. i was disappointed the new unit didn't come with new plastic rod retainers as shown on the one in the video. only 1 was included. all that being said, the replacement was exact, the video was very helpful and i will continue to purchase parts from A-1
It's what I expected and works like new.
This is for the driver's side only. Currently, we do not carry this part for your vehicle. We're always updating our inventory, so please check back soon!
