cenwesi Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Hi Guys, So my 2002 Ls430 actuator stopped working. Short story was some crack head in NJ broke into the car last year and only store manuals....the door lock actually worked for couple days but then the motor in the actuator died. So over the weekend, I decided to go to the junk yard to see if I can get an actuator or just the motor. I DID NOT FIND one single ls430 there. I found a couple GS300/400 and decided to get one of the door latches off. The motor in this latch/actuator for that model car was the same size but the terminal where the wires connect and the shaft was totally different. I didn't mind since I can rewire the terminals. When I tried getting the shaft off I broke the little back end plastic piece that hold the end of the shaft. I glued it back together but I didn't want to take that chance. I also chiseled the shaft to match the same shape as the motor shaft I took out on my ls430. Here are some pictures of my LS 430 actuator motor: http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/uploa...8_531_87267.jpg http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/uploa...8_531_25538.jpg http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/uploa..._531_112415.jpg http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/uploa...8_531_31778.jpg Last thing i want to do right now is to use the motor from the GS400 since I kind of broke the back end. I have looked online and searched the Lexus forums. It looks like the motor the ls430 uses is the: Mabuchi motor: FC-280PC-22125 http://www.mabuchi-motor.co.jp/cgi-bin/cat...T_ID=fc_280pcsc Does anyone know where I can just buy 1 or 2 of this motor? Every where else seems to wants me to buy at least 10. I just need one motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LucBuj Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Hi to you, I am searching this motor too and it is very hard to find!!! Now I'm very disappointed not finding it and I saw your post in google, so did you succeed in you reasearch? If yes can you provide me a dealer or some information on where to find it. For your information in the case that you didn't find one, this motor is also used in Madza Protege 2002-03 door lock mecanism. So thanks in advance to you...
