Today i found my remote couldnt control the passengers door (even manually)~is that the problem with actuator? This problem happened since i installed an alarm (only few times).

How should i resolve this?

Usually this is the central locking motors in the doors. Just take off the door skin and you'll see it. And generic motor will do, you'll need the slave for the passenger door and replace the motor. That what it sounds like to me, mine doing it a bit now, I've done the passengers before but my drivers is going now so I'll be getting myself a master shortly (the drivers side activates the central locking)

I bought a generic actuator from Auto One for $35 & put it in myself. Took about an hour. If your not confident, talk to your alarm guy, he shouldn't charge too much, its not a big job.

where abouts is it mate?

Sorry for putting you on the wrong path, I always thought the drivers side motor was the actuator, please ignore my ignorance
