My Ford is filled with these integrated design pieces. Instead of having a $25 actuator die in the power lock system, they've put that $25 part inside a $500 single unit. Crap plastic drive gear breaks? Yep, toss the whole unit!
The driver's door lock system failed last year but I figured out how to bypass the faulty sensor and just make it work, but it can be opened/closed with a key so it's not a big deal. The rear doors, no keys, so if you don't have a working power lock there you can't get in.
Ugh. At least the aftermarket replacement unit is only $250, a mere 10x what it would cost me on my old Toyota.
On the plus side... yea there is no plus side.
