This would be my guess, also. I've seen this happen many times, and it's usually awalys the passenger side.

^^^^Thats exactly what it was. Upon closer inspection, the passneger side power door lock actuator is fubar.

Sorry to reopen an old thread, but I just had this problem for the first time with my 2004, on the driver's side door. I have a 3rd party extended warranty but I'm not sure this is covered. Can anyone tell me how much it cost to have the actuator replaced at the dealer?

I also wonder if I should try to get both done, since it sounds like the passenger side will probably break next...

Edit: They didn't do a recall for this issue, did they?

Hey svarog welcome to the forum...

There have been no recalls on the GTO.

You should have a list of exclusions to the warranty. If you don't or not sure I would call your warranty carrier and inquire. Any Pontiac dealers parts dept. should be able to quote you a price on that part. Being the actuator works with the Keyfobs I would doubt an after market one would work.

Personally I wouldn't replace a working part with a new one. If it ain't broke don't replace it. If it's covered under warranty for you, I wouldn't expect warranty to replace a part that is in working order.

Thanks for the info... I will check my warranty for the exclusions. Regarding the recalls... I guess what I actually meant was "have there been any TSBs" for this? I know there is a long list of TSBs...

Thanks!

GTO JUDGE

Not that I am aware of but that doesn't mean there hasn't been.
