  1. Mate your motors aren't working. Can also get these on ebay or aliexpress https://www.ebay.com/itm/Mabuchi-Nichibo-Door-Lock-Motor-Short-Long-Flat-D-Round-Collar-FC280PC22125-/111198111739?var=&hash=item19e3ec87fb:m:mETANqFNBgmy6A7-sXogfPg https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33017943556.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.28d4105d3t2aej&algo_pvid=9a808c97-38fc-4779-bbe9-13325c58d32d&algo_expid=9a808c97-38fc-4779-bbe9-13325c58d32d-21&btsid=0ab6fb8815865060595327411e7f21&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_,searchweb201603_ These are posted to assist do your own checking to be 100% sure they are correct before purchasing.
  2. Post some photos of what you are looking at legacyabuser.
  3. Yes this will fit, you will just need to file the shaft to give a 'D' shape to it.
  4. great to see this thread still going, probably going to get more hits as these units fail. Remember to take a look at Tek's post at http://forum.liberty.asn.au/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=10479 for even more info on the replacement of the actuator motor. Chris
  5. Hi, yes remove the screws. The connector will 'pop' out from memory or require slight manipulation.
  6. That is great to hear of your success Jay, original parts here in NZ are crazy prices
  7. Great to hear Tighttrash, looks like your actuator unit has allowed moisture in, unfortunately this also happened to one of my repaired ones, as Amirz said make sure they are well sealed when closing them up. Hope you get many more years trouble free out of the new motors.
  8. Good tip PPSGT, yes I missed to say to undo the window runner. That is an awesome idea to screw it back together, I still have two to do and will certainly try that next time. Cheers Chris
  9. Great to hear that you got it done successfully, just sad that this is just a low quality component that Subaru has used.
  10. Short answer is no, as yet I have not heard of, or come across the long shafted motor which is used in this actuator. What is the problem you are having it opening the motor? If you have got the actuator out of the door and opened, you have done the hardest part. Take a good look at the photos I had post previously, there is also a link posted by Tek to another site showing the process also http://forum.liberty.asn.au/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=10479
  11. Oh wow, you don't happen to have a boat do you...? However yes you should be able to repair the motor, lightly sand off the corrosion from the armature, and then clean it up as I did, with the new parts from the ebay, it should work. Remember do not put grease in or on the actual motor, grease contact with the commutator quickly causes the graphite bushes to stop conducting. http://legacygt.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=799&pictureid=4806
  12. I'm not sure what Island you are on? But would say that any automobile association (or crim) should have the tools and knowhow to unlock, your locked doors. I seriously doubt you would be able to get the panel off far enough to gain access without opening the door. I can almost guarantee you that the sound you hear is not the cable slipping out, but the motor just failing to fully activate the actuator.
  13. Amirz, feel free to use the photos I posted. I too used the new motor housings. All the best Chris
  14. OK, I had a bit of time so decided it was time to re-repair my original problem lock, as well as one that has been intermittently being an problem. I bought some new motors on ebay, however as reported seaslug, these have short shafts. Never fear, using the armature of the original one fixes this problem. The problem with these motors is that grease or oil was placed on the bushes/commutator. this is a no no on any electric motor, as it ruins the brushes. I know this "how to" has been reported by teK, however I thought I would post some pictures here also. Remove the door trim http://legacygt.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=799&pictureid=4253 http://legacygt.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=799&pictureid=4254 Remove the lock assembly, loosen of the cover and unscrew the actuator from the lock assembly http://legacygt.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=799&pictureid=4255 Open actuator, I found starting as shown in the photo the easiest. http://legacygt.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=799&pictureid=4256 Bother, subaru shaft much longer http://legacygt.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=799&pictureid=4257 Armatures removed from bodies. http://legacygt.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=799&pictureid=4258 Clean the original one real good, concentrating on the commutator. I used Jif(Vim, or Cif depending on where you live) to really clean the commutator, using a tooth pick to remove the grease between the segments. Rinse and allow to dry completely (very important) remove the old dirty plastic washers and replace with the ones from the new armature. http://legacygt.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=799&pictureid=4259 Put the motor, and actuator back together, sealing it up how you feel best. I used a solder iron to melt the plastic together all the way around. Reinstall and hey presto you are back in business. NB: take care putting the motor back together. the brushes must be sitting on the commutator.
