Driver's Door Lock Actuator 12-Pin Connector Issue
Hi everyone,I own a 2008 Mazda 6 (GH model) 1.8L petrol, and I'm having an issue with the driver's side front door lock actuator (it is completely unresponsive).
My auto electrician diagnosed it and confirmed that the actuator needs to be replaced.Since a brand new OEM part is quite expensive,
I'm trying to source a used/second-hand one. However, the electrician specifically told me that my car uses a single 12-pin connector for the driver's door lock assembly.
I have searched everywhere online, but I cannot find a single replacement listing that mentions a 12-pin plug.
Everything I come across for the 2007-2012 Mazda 6 GH models seems to feature either a 6-pin or a 7-pin connector.
Has anyone else encountered a 12-pin lock actuator on their Mazda 6?
Could this be related to a specific trim level (e.g., keyless entry/advanced keyless system or anti-theft deadlocking)?
My electrician told me that he couldn't find any part number or code stamped on the lock assembly itself (which honestly makes me a bit skeptical/suspicious...).
Has anyone else experienced this? Is it possible that the part number is hidden inside the mechanism or completely missing on certain factory units?
Any advice, part numbers, or guidance on where to look would be highly appreciated!
