    Sometime back Scott Guth posted a great Diy article on cheaply fixing the door lock actuator motor. He warned strongly against opening the assembly up in the wrong orientation or parts would fall out. He posted a picture that was too much info so that it didn't post. Does anyone have any information to offer regarding which side should be up when the halves are separated? I hate to make this repair any harder than it is going to be by having it fall apart. Any help greatly appreciated.

    A simple search Of

    Door actuator

    Showed them all.

    Mine went out also so I bought the actuator assy from a guy who
    Only sells and services Prius. It's pretty easy to replace the whole assy
    He says. I'll find out soon lol.
