trunk lock actuator THIS SUCKS!!!

[en-em]

Anyone have a pic of this thing? I think I have the right part number, but am not really sure what it looks like. Also is there a DIY somewhere on this board for actually replacing the trunk lock actuator? I've already checked the connecting rod that is right underneath the interior trunk handle with the DIY from S4toML(http://www.benzworld.org/tech.html?id=200) and it is fine. Everything locks normally except for the trunk lock. I can hear a faint noise too, like something is trying to work, but nope, nothing!!

trunk lock actuator: A 163 740 02 93

I keep getting prices from a couple of stealerships $145 and $240 from the other place near me!!! WTF!!! I may have to order from elsewhere. Is that the going rate for these actuators now??

Thanks y'all!!

If you do a search, I posted instructions somewhere here on how to replace it. As for the part, it comes integrated with the handle assembly so you'll have to replace the handle and all. If you remove your rear panel, it will come to you what needs to be done to remove it.

Try Duval Motor Cars for the part. www. t r a d e m o t i o n. c o m/ p a r t l o c a t o r/ i n d e x. c f m? s i t e i d = 213951. (Remove the spaces).

Duval wants something around $50 for the lock. You can link to many online vendors through Parts.com - Find any part for any item
