Re drivers door master actuator Hey Mikeyz, your video was incredibly helpful, thank you! Just to confirm drivers door fix is exactually the same (on a MB W169 A class) Dont worry about all the existing wires, just locate the 2 power, in this case black stripe and green stripe. If the close/unlock out of sequence, just reverse the connection. One point to remember is to make sure the drivers door is closed before testing otherwise the 'lock' function wont work. Thanks again Mike

ok guys i just wanted to clarify that you only cut the cables you need to use , the GREY WITH A BLUE STRIPE and the GREY WITH A BLACK STRIPE.. DO NOT CUT ANY OTHER CABLES AS IT WILL INTERFERE WITH THE ROTARY TUMBLE SWITCH WHICH CONTROL POWER TO YOUR COURTESY LIGHT FOR THAT DOOR... only cutr the wires you are going to use to send signal to and from your aftermarket actuator..thats it ..hope this is more clear and clarifies things abit more and for the master lock (DRIVER DOOR) its the same just use the same wires and wire them up the same and bob's your uncle.. done deal

that's odd it should work ... it only needs power sent ro the lock ... did u test to ensure it is getting 12v with a multimeter? put pps and neg to appropriate wires and then press lock and unlock it should show the voltage going to the wires ... check the door module and follow the wires ensure no breaks ... check fuses too relaying to door ... also follow the wires ensure no shorting is happening ..this happened to my seat for my w203 ..I had to flow the cable all the way to the plug harness and voila there it was ... where the seat folds...it was shorting there ... pos and neg were stripped and touching causing the short ..hence auto seats adjustment weren't working

So to clarify whomever references this, I did this on a W212 E350. Only two wires to cut. I cut the green with the black stripe and the green. I connected the green wire of the universal actuator to the green with the black stripe, and the blue of the universal actuator to the green. Because this is the master, you will notice when testing that it will unlock but not lock when the door is open. This is normal. When it is the driver’s side door, you are not able to lock from the inside nor lock on the key fob with the door open as this is a way for the manufacturer to help the operator from not locking their car without their keys. I had to cut the foam on the inside of the door card that was removed to make room for the new actuator. It is a big block of foam - I cut it flat.

I used the green w/black stripe wire and the all-green wire. The remaining wires I tied back to the 'older' actuator. Unfortunately, now the indoor lock switch will not work. I've checked and see 3 wires from the door switch on the driver's side. They are grey,grey, and black with white stripe. Any idea how to fix this? Best, Ken.

Without it recognising it has been opened, the car’s dashboard doesn’t switch off and I can’t lock it. Was wondering if you could help?

But I can't as the pop-up button is not connected to a rod, but is actuated by a very thin wire running inside a plastic sleeve. I considered stripping the plastic sleeve, but the wire was too thin to fasten into the actuator connection block (and the wire would most likely just bend on actuation).

Hi Mikey. Another request for a video on fitting the actuator on the W204 rear door. I have had a go, but can't see how to connect the actuator to the existing door button as there isn't a rod. It is actuated by a very thin wire running inside a blue plastic tube (which runs the length of the door). the wire slides inside the tube (works like a bicycle brake/gear cable). I suspect that if I cut the sleeving, and somehow manage to connect the replacement actuator to the exposed wire, that the wire would just bend on actuation. Cheers John

@MIKEYZVLOGZ it won't open outside or inside, i think the lock actuator is broken and is behind a pivoted steel panel after you take the interior panel off and it reveals the door mechanisms. But where i think i need to get to is behind the pivoted steel panel, and it is impossible to get to with the door being closed. Had someone look at it today, and they are not sure how to fix it yet. Thanks for your quick reply mate

Hi, thanks for the video guide. Just did the fix on my driver side door. Didn't have pop rivet gun so used some self tap screws. All works great. Might have to do some adjustments as it doesn't pop up as far as it should. Probably need to adjust the clamp onto original rod. Maybe I didn't extend fully before attaching or the aftermarket rod is catching on door panel.

ok so it doesn't matter ..u can still use the slave for driver side just follow the same cable colours... it will still work..I was simply just trying to state the rest are slave compared to the master where the main unit is..but u can still use the slave gor the driver side and it'll work just fine..the principle is to give power to the actuator wen u press lock and unlock which intern sends ppwer to the lock actuator motor which then spins and locks then unlocks the door ..that's it

Hi. Great video. Did I understand correctly that it cannot be fitted to the driver's door? Is it possible to only splice it to the wires to the motor leaving all the others? ps this motor looks suspiciously like that on the steering lock. How many cheap Chinese motors are there on this "premium " brand?
@MIKEYZVLOGZ

lol...I know right...for such a beautiful name brand car ..why did they cheap out on certain parts? that's the question isn't it... and as for drivers door... usually u would use a master actuator lock...but I guess in theory all u need to do is provide power to the lock actuator so it can lock and unlock the car lock... so with that said ...it just may be possible to use the exact same for driver side ... cuz all ur really doing is connecting a power circuit so that wenever a lock button is pressed it will power the actuator so it can spin locking and unlocking the lock 🔐

Hi Mikey, will this work for all models. I have a 2007 ml280cdi. I was quoted $1000 for one actuator and door lock combined. Both my driver door and front passenger side have gone. Can you please confirm which ones in need to buy to make sure I understand. As a single mum I have no idea and it seems hard but I’m willing to give it go as I can’t afford to fix it otherwise. I’m currently climbing from the back seat to open it. Stupid the key doesn’t open it either. Thank you

hi ... firstly i cant say definately if it will work on ur model as i habe never done it on other models.. but from how the actuator works ... it should be thr same procedure and should work..as all u are doing is sendinh power to the after market motor in order to allow the door to unlock and lock again... theoretically it should work..its just a matter of finding the righy spot to mount it.... if i were in your shoes i would give it a go... as the part is very cheap and its better then spending $1000 .... remove your door frame have a look at the wires you have and see if they match ... getting schematics would help alot as it will show you exactly what wires go where and what they do and what colour they are... but from experience merc like to use the same colour codes for wires ... but really only one way to find out and that is to remove the door and have a look... i hope this helps you out somewhat...

hey bud so sorry as i haven't worked on your car before its hard for me to say , what u need to do is find your door schematics, and it will tell u which is which wire, however when u open the door u should be able to see what goes to the door actuator and that will def get u one step closer , for me , after i knew which cables they were i still has to confirm, so i followed the wires and triple checked they went to my actuator, in the end there should only be 2 wires that power the actuator becuz all it does is send the power wen u lock and unlock, its actually very straight forward wen u break it down, but i know it can be overwhelming, my best advice is find the schematics, or ask forums and someone can guide u very quickly, im just sorry i dont work on your specific car and all cars have different wiring

@@MIKEYZVLOGZ no worries, thanks for the quick response. The way our doors are set up, they are very similar. Just like yours, I have 5 wires wrapped in fabric that go into a hole towards the actuator. Do you know of anyway I can test which ones give power to the actuator without taking the whole door apart? lol I’m guessing I could maybe just test the voltage on each of those wires, but haven’t tried it yet. All good if you don’t have an answer, just talking out loud here

Season greetings pal. I have have been looking forever for a video like this one as I have the very same issue (left passenger door) with my c200 1.8l cgi for over two years.There is a similar video on the MB forum but it was not as detailed as this one.Actually, because of that video I bought four actuators but when came to the installation I chickened out because of the unclear directions. Yours have given me hope to finally repair this problem. Is it necessary to cut those two wires? In the MB forum video the guy simply connected as you did and it worked.Many thanks for your presence on this forum.All the best for 2021.
