Those were on the first few I happened to find on E-bay. But, after looking again and sorting by price, I see that about half are 5-wire and the other half with 2 wires, or 2 connection spades. So, for the 2-wire, you just apply 12v to extend, and then reverse polarity to retract.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">By the way, the search terms I used were "Car Lock Actuator"<br></div><div><br></div><div class="ydpd6109125signature"><div style="font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:16px;"><div dir="ltr" style="font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:16px;">-Joe<br></div></div></div></div>

Car lock actuators are available for well under $10. They use a
