_Rear Hatch Lock Actuator Repair - 100 Series
Author: Philip In-Albon                                                                                                                      Feb 14, 2012
_I found THIS thread started by Socalsuv on the repair of the door lock actuator back in September. Thanks to UZJ100 for the link to EBay I ordered 5 replacement motors for ~$10 shipped. Normally the actuator are said to be $330 each. The motors are what goes bad or makes the operation slow and intermittent so this deal is as good as it gets. The link above covers the door replacement very well so Im posting the replacement for the rear hatch actuator motor.

This is a 1 banana repair and it took me as long to get my stuff together as to do the repair.
1. Use a screwdriver and lightly pry out the side plastic trim of the hatch so the lower plastic can be removed.
2. Use a small screwdriver and remove the plugs to access the screws for the handle.
3. Use a #3 philips screwdriver and remove the handle screws(2)
4. Remove the handle cup
5. Using your hands pry up on the lower plastic trim and get your finger under the plastic and pop the plastic plug clips.
6. Using a #2 philips screwdriver remove the screws to that holds the actuator to the bracket. You cannot get a screwdriver on the 3rd screw so I used my lineman pliers to remove it.
7. Using your small screwdriver release the plug from the actuator.
8. Using your other flat screwdriver carefully pry apart the actuator. This may require to to attack it from a couple different places.
9. Once you have it apart unplug the motor and slide the worm gear off the motor and install on the new motor and plug the new motor in.
10. I used several drops of super glue to attach the actuator case back together.
11. Using a reverse order put it all back together.

A simple and cheap solution for a pain in the ass problem.
