I tried searching but didn't find anything that fully answered my question. I have a 2000 Dodge neon. All the doors except the rear driver;s side door have power locks. The rear door has the harness that the lock should plug into, but no actuator. Do I buy a 2 or 5 wire actuator? Is it a plug and play situation or do i need to use a 2 relay circuit to make it work? Thanks

Clear it up:

Are these Factory Door Lock Actuators in the other 3 Doors?
If so, why not Mopar Parts?
If not, it should be a 2 wire Actuator for rear.....Depending on who / how it was installed.........

Yes, the other doors have factory door lock actuators. The thing is that there's only one dodge dealer in my country and they are crazy expensive. I'd have to drive to Mexico for another dealer. So I'd rather buy a $12 actuator off the internet. Thanks for the reply

sounds to me like that car was wrecked and the door was replaced with a non power one. Just stab a two wire actuator in there, it will work fine. Connect the two wires to the two factory wires, if for some reason the door unocks when you lock the other 3 doors, then just swap the two wires around and that should be it.

Thanks for the replies. The car was bought at an auction, so chances are the door was replaced. I'll try a 2 wire actuator and hopefully it works. Thanks.
