Goopool Door Lock Latch Actuator Assembly for Toyota Tacoma 1998–2004 Front Left — Direct-Fit Plug-and-Play

Goopool's front left door lock latch actuator is a direct-fit replacement for 1998–2004 Toyota Tacoma drivers that restores power locking and exterior latch release functionality.

If your Tacoma's driver-side door no longer locks or unlocks reliably with the power lock switch, a worn or failed latch actuator is often the cause. This aftermarket assembly from Goopool is engineered to match the OEM form, fit and function for Tacoma models from 1998 through 2004, supporting 2.4L, 2.7L and 3.4L V6 engines. It replaces factory part numbers 69040-04010, 6904004010, 931-492 and 931492 and is made as a plug-and-play electro-mechanical unit to minimize installation time.

How will this actuator restore my Tacoma’s door locking performance?

Replacing a faulty actuator returns the mechanical movement and electrical response the original assembly provided. The Goopool unit uses an exterior latch release mechanism driven by a compact motor and gears to operate the lock reliably when you press the switch or key fob.

• Direct-replacement design that follows OEM mounting points and connector layout
• Electro-mechanical motor and gears to move the latch and lock linkages
