What's the failure mode of the door lock actuators?
I think over the lifespan of owning both Discos, I've replaced all the actuators except for the rear door/hatch and starting lap two. Why the heck do they suck so bad?

Not sure never had to change mine and owed 2 discos since 2012.
I do treat my disco couple times a year with rust proofing oil and maybe that helps keeps things lubricated and wiring flexible

Failure mode is the brushes wear out in the little dc motors. I have replaced the complete motor brush assembly with the ones off of the Lexus motors sold on ebay. They are identical (shafts are not identical).
Ah, there it is. Makes sense.
