How to Replace VS Door Actuator with a VT Actuator

[Commo64]

Better stick to your Commodore 64 as that's as old as your jokes bud.

Well hey... My jokes are considered vintage so there's that

Thanks, but I just purchased a reasonable priced one on eBay.

Is it a reproduction or gen item? Curious how it looks, fits and holds up.

I'm kicking myself I didn't pull a few out of a VS I scrapped a few years ago

But I did rescue a couple of actuators from a VH

For future reference in the pic is 2 actuators, Left is VS, Right is VT on...

I will still check the short lead to Actuator on my VS Ute (Series 2 '98) to see if it's the same plug that goes into loom as the later ones.

my 97 Senator runs the VT setup. I suspect that a 98 will run VT as it was well into production by then.

Did you specify RHF. There are 3 different applications. The p/n's seemed to change over the years, however, the RHF has a Green plastic rod. It is referred to as the 'Master'. The others are opaque white. Inside they are different except for the 2 rears. They are interchangeable between left and right (on rear). The RHF has a single micro-switch, whereas the LHF has two, and obviously a different sliding mechanism. The PCB's are also different. The front two have 5 input wires, although different pin assignments and designations (colours). Generally the RHF ends in *****865 and the LHF in *****866. The rears both have 3 input wires.

The one I just had delivered is the same as the one on the left (fortunately). Now just have to find out how to test it to make sure it works! Don't need it right away.

Yes, it was a used one.
