Door Lock Actuator not pushing hard enough...HELP!
I recently put in an aftermarket alarm. I then had ot put an aftermarkte actuator to both lock and unlock the doors. Everything is set, but the actuator just does not push hard enough to unlock or lock the doors. I tried lubing all the parts and it made no difference. Is their another way about going this. THe alarm is the viper 791vx, the actuator does work it just does not push hard enough, its a 3 pin connector with no wire in the middle and a blue and green wire running to the actuator. Any help would be appreciated, ASAP.
why did you install an aftermarket actuator ...that soundsl like your problem to me...put the stock door lock and unlock actuator back in and connect your alarm system to the stock actuator

.Try positioning the actuator a little differently. Took me a while to find the right spot where it would push enough to lock/unlock the door. Also have to make sure the key and button inside still work as well. It's a pain finding just the right position but you just have to fiddle around with it for a little bit.

Just try fiddling around with the positioning of the actuator like was mentioned before. I have a viper system in my car and the actuator does work but just barely and after lots of fiddling around. I recall having to bend the actuator rod into an S of sorts ot get the right angle as well.
