I bought this actuator to replace the rear hatch actuator for my 2001 Ford Escape rear hatch/glass door. Ford dealer wanted over $200 because you have to buy the whole interior assembly. If they replace it, another $100+. I had to drill one hole, hook up the wires--green to striped, and find a lock nut and screw to fit the plunger end.
This may not be the highest quality device and does get warm if voltage is applied longer than necessary. It probably does not have brushes as someone stated--probably permanent magnet, but still can be burnt up if overused.
I'm real happy--good price--fast shipping--working great.
The rear hatch lock actuator stopped working on my 2001 Ford Escape ( same problem as the previous reviewer stated )... took apart old assembly.... Drilled 1 hole for new actuator..... used old top assembly and put on new part...put back together and 2 minutes worth for wiring.... wala.... 30 minute job.... thx
These parts absolutely rock. They worked fantastically well as aftermarket fixes for my 1999 F250 Super Duty actuators. Although I didn't *replace* the failed actuators with this, I did simply install these and tie them inline with the existing rods and it worked like a charm. These parts are a fraction of the cost of the Ford replacement part, and quite frankly removing the failed part and reinstalling on my Super Duty would be a real pain in the posterior. It's quite a chore to get the Ford parts out as they are attached to the door latch. Just use these after market parts and tie into the existing rods and you'll have a terrific solution, very powerful actuators and have saved literally $100 on parts (four doors).
I cannot say how pleased I am with the parts, the price, the prompt delivery. You have a return customer when my needs turn to the type of parts you supply.
I OWN A 2000 FORD F-150 AND THE FACTORY ACTUATORS ARE VERY EXPENSIVE I CLIPPED THE FACTORY AND INSTALLED THESE AND THEY WORK GREAT DURING THIS DAY AND TIME OF DEPRESSION I SAY THANK YOU !!!
