Default Door lock actuator motor

My passenger door is not locking and unlocking with the wireless locking system from the key fob or door buttons. I replaced the driver side motor door actuator from the Lexus dealership but forgot and tried buying a replacement online from eBay but it was a size too big. Was wondering if anyone knew where to get the proper door lock actuator motor around the Texas area. Pictures for reference of proper motor on left.

Not sure if this is a useful option for you, but the seller Actuators Plus on ebay sells rebuilt entire door lock actuator assemblies for around $100. I had problems with the motor gearbox coming apart, not the motor itself, but I felt it was worth the price to simplify the job a lot.

Thank you. I bought a box of motors for the drivers door and each one lasts about 2 months. I was getting close to pulling the trigger on a brand new oem actuator, but this seems like the next best thing

Glad I could help! I only had mine for 6 months so far, so can't vouch for long-term longevity. But if your actuator is eating motors that quickly, it sounds like there is probably something wrong in the rest of the assembly that is overloading the motors.
