It fit a 97 crew cab perfect and worked great. You don’t need to rivet anything in. You can use the stock bracket and just slide this one into it. I ended up using the stock rod as none of the ones it came with were the correct length. Review: With Authority! - I've been through many a lock actuator in the ~25 years I've owned Fox Body Mustangs. Many have been let downs, but not these! I ordered two Dorman actuators after wasting a lot of time and a fair amount of money on others in the past. These two actuators don't mess around, pushing or pulling the lock mechanisms crisply. All the others that I have bought from certain Mustang parts sites have been weak, sometimes locking but not unlocking... sometimes unlocking, but not locking. VERY Frustrating. After reading some other reviews here I ordered these and am not disappointed. Dorman's may cost more than the others, but they work the first time. Saving time in installs/removals, returning the bad and ordering new, hoping the latest order you'll get lucky and they'll work. Pay the bit more and put these in once so you don't have to screw around with things again and again. BTW: At least for the Fox Body Mustangs these are not a hard install. Probably a 1-1.5hr job per door tops. Removing the door handle is 4 screws (two 3/8" lag type screws and 2 Philips heads), removing the lock/windows switches is 2 Philips screws, the door panel is 3 more Philips screws, pop the panel clips with something like a "Lisle 35400" removal tool and set it aside. If you need new panel clips you can order "N807925-S". Peel back about 1 foot of the plastic sheet behind the door panel at the door latch end and peak inside. You'll see the actuator being held in place with a white plastic bracket. Spray a little WD40 on the rubber grommets that hold the actuator in the plastic bracket and push the actuator our of the bracket. Once out of the bracket, turn the actuator body parallel with the ground while lightly pulling towards the front of the car to get the actuator pin out of the lock mechanism. It can be a little finicky but it will come out easily as only the bend in the steel holds the pin in place. It's not screwed in or anything. Once out, unplug the actuator (careful as the old plastic can be brittle) and look it over so you can see which bent steel pin is needed from the kit for the new actuator. A little looking at the old actuator will show you how to put the new one together. Once together, plug the new actuator in, put a little WD40 on the new rubber grommets reverse everything you just did. Getting the grommets/holders in and out of the plastic bracket is by far the hardest part of this project. They are in there good and putting them back in requires some patience, finesse and grip strength. Just in case, once you get the new actuators in, test things a few times before you put it all together. These actuators should work great, but you just never know. Good Luck!! ## Features - Reliable replacement - this door lock actuator has undergone extensive quality and safety performance testing.Material:Plastic - Perfect fit - engineered to provide the same fit and function of the original actuator on specific vehicle years, makes and models - Safety compliant - part has undergone simulated crash testing under government guidelines - Long-lasting repair - cycle testing in an actual vehicle door verifies effective usage for years - Ensure fit - to make sure this part fits your exact vehicle, input your make, model and trim level into the garage tool ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000IZ2Y06 | | Best Sellers Rank | #278,032 in Automotive ( See Top 100 in Automotive ) #717 in Automotive Replacement Power Door Lock Motors | | Brand | Dorman | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (228) | | Date First Available | March 22, 2007 | | Exterior | Ready To Paint If Needed | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 9.1 ounces | | Item model number | 746-147 | | Manufacturer | Dorman Products | | Manufacturer Part Number | 746-147 | | Model | 746-147 | | OEM Part Number | 5379400; 5379499; 8D1006; 8D1007; AC89727; AC89730; AC89766; APDLA0005; APDLA0006; DLA1; DLA125; DLA128; DLA131; DLA2; DLA218; DLA219; DLA247; DLA65; DLA83; DLA9; DLA90; SW6921; 427607001; E1ZZ66218A42B; E9TZ 10218A42-A; E9TZ 1526594-A; F03Z 54218A42-A; F0AB-54218A42-AA; F0ZZ 66218A42-A; F1AZ 54218A42-A | | Position | Center | | Product Dimensions | 4 x 3.5 x 6.5 inches | | Special Features | Easy to Install | | Voltage | 12 Volts | ## Images ![Dorman 746-147 Door Lock Actuator Motor Compatible with Select Ford / Lincoln / Mercury Models - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/810LfyQ4HnL.jpg) ![Dorman 746-147 Door Lock Actuator Motor Compatible with Select Ford / Lincoln / Mercury Models - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81tGlVbIY+L.jpg) ![Dorman 746-147 Door Lock Actuator Motor Compatible with Select Ford / Lincoln / Mercury Models - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81KEDF7vIeL.jpg) ![Dorman 746-147 Door Lock Actuator Motor Compatible with Select Ford / Lincoln / Mercury Models - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91ED15ffBHL.jpg) ![Dorman 746-147 Door Lock Actuator Motor Compatible with Select Ford / Lincoln / Mercury Models - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81IltMG-xxL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect replacement for OBS Ford truck *by B***F on January 26, 2026* I ordered this for my OBS Ford.

I recently bought one more for my 1988 F350 Centurion crew cab which Amazon stated it doesn't work but believe it or not it does work! There's a video by an account named The Fix on youtube which shows you how to install it too! ## Frequently Bought Together - Dorman 746-147 Door Lock Actuator Motor Compatible with Select Ford / Lincoln / Mercury Models - 10 Lock Actuator Peel-Type Rivet Compatible with Ford Door N808689-S417 - Rexka 50pcs Door Trim Panel Retainers Clips Fastener for Ford N801925-S Lincoln Mercury Bronco F150 Mustang F-250 F-350 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/11277120-dorman-746-147-door-lock-actuator-motor-compatible-with-select](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/11277120-dorman-746-147-door-lock-actuator-motor-compatible-with-select) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-05-07*
