Seeking Door Lock Actuator for 2004 Infiniti G35 coupe

[TheMailman]

Hey Guys,

I have been having the worst time trying to find a drivers-side door lock actuator for my 2004 Infiniti G35 coupe and thought I would post to the group and see if someone could help a brother out! Checking out the forum, this seems like a common problem, but I can't seem to find an affordable alternative to going to an infiniti dealer ($400 +).

I have looked into calling junkyards and would ultimately like to find a wreck in a pick and pull to get the part in California. I also found a door lock actuator on AutoZone that would probably work for $150, but that is even kinda expensive.

Can you guys help a dude on a budget out? Thanks in advance for any recommendations you can give me for pick and pulls in Cali or affordable alternatives.

Cheers,

TheMailman

I'm going through this currently on my '03 Coupe. They had just sent me one based on my VIN and it is the wrong part.

The part number I have for mine is 80503-AR200. That should be a little over $100 at the dealership. Check some of our sponsor's websites for prices.

And it looks easy to replace yourself. I had my door panel off in about 5 mins this morning before I realized I had the wrong part. Shouldn't be more than an hour to do everything.
