This is not a genuine Mabuchi motor, I installed it in my Lexus RX300 and come to find out when locking the doors this one would unlock and vise versa when unlocking, this one would lock. The polarity is backwards from the original Mabuchi motor. so it spins in the opposite direction. It wasn't worth sending back being it was only $6 with free shipping. I decided I would bend the tabs out holding the plastic cap/brush holder and rotate it 180 degrees, I had to trim a little plastic off of the cap to get it to fit and got it to spin in the right direction. It seemed to not run as smooth as it did when I first bench tested it but its working now in my truck. when it fails again I will get genuine Mabuchi

Found a recommendation on a forum to replace this motor rather than the whole latch. Based on price this was a great option so I thought I would give it a try. The only struggle is getting the brass gear off of the old motor but once that was done this was a very simple repair. Put it all back together and it works like a charm.

Fitted easily but needed to reverse polarity to function correctly. Good service and product.

This item was as expected and saved me quite a bit of $$ compared to the Ford Latch unit. The gear slid on easily. I did notice that the shaft on this motor is slightly shorter than the original factory. While this was a not a showstopper the shaft did not sit all the way in the slot on the opposite end which I guess can result in movement over time if you don't seal the case all the way. Some folded electric tape on the inside of the case on top of the motor will do it. All together, for $5 ... totally worth it!

Found this motor to replace the faulty motor in the rear hatch release actuator. It's been installed for a couple months now with no problems, everything worked well from the beginning! Save yourself $100+and buy this!
