    My Pop and Lock stopped working after 3 years. It clicks but doesn't move far enough to push the latch. I'm going to try to give it a good cleaning and some fresh grease. But if that doesn't work, I was wondering if anyone has ever replaced just the actuator on a 2016/17+ pop and lock. might be easier just to replace the actuator and keep the hardware.

    Good to know. I just bought a whole new kit to replace my worn out actuator. Anybody need a wiring harness?

    My 17 came with a pop and lock. It was port installed, it to gave up the ghost after 2½ yrs. I ordered an actuator from the dealership not knowing the difference, took a little bit to figure out at first but the OEM actuator is a way better design and worth the extra coin. Should give more than 2-3 yrs of service imo.
