rickety Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 I've owned my 1982 Corvette for 20 years. I'm that time I have put three sets of electric door locks actuators in it. They work great at first but slowly through the years they lose the power to lock & unlock. I'm averaging 5-6 years to a set. Just wondering if this is a normal situation for a car that is not driven frequently. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buccaneer Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Mine are starting to slow a bit, but mine are original. May be that the new ones are all...Made in China? I'll leave mine alone until they go out. GL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickety Posted June 8, 2023 Author Share Posted June 8, 2023 They probably were. Bought them through a couple different corvette supply dealers. They probably stock the same part from the same manufacturer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extender32 Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Julie's 78 still have the original door locks too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desertdawg Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 I thought there was a newer part that fit the 82’s. Like something from the mid 90’s that performed better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickety Posted June 8, 2023 Author Share Posted June 8, 2023 That's a great idea! I'll give you a heads up when I need to take her out for a spin again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickety Posted June 8, 2023 Author Share Posted June 8, 2023 The later style actuator idea would make sense. I'll do some research. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
