Door lock actuator.. bypass?

Hello, I'm about to re-join the Tacoma world again! Truck is an '01 DC that needs a bit of love.

A pressing issue is the drivers door lock actuator makes one hell of a terrible noise when actuated. These suckers are $250+!

My question is, could the actuator be bypassed and have a cheaper replacement one added on the lock/door handle assembly as if the truck didnt have power door locks?

Something like this:

$44 InstallGear Keyless Entry System With Two 3-Button Remotes and 4 Door Actuators - Central Locking System for Car, Auto, Truck - Power Lock Kit

Just tap into the power and ground already at the actuator and wire in the new one?

 

I have a replacement I could sell to you for $120 Shipped.

 

I'll probably take you up on that. Gonna call around locally first

 

Sounds good

 

Some How I doubt they that will last very long so if you go that route you will get very good pulling the door apart to change out things!!

Buy extras .

My electric locks quit about 3years ago they were a pain and I saw no real advantage to fixing them unlike the right window which I do enjoy

 

I mean, it does come with 4 for 35 bucks and I only need one
