I replaced the door lock actuator on the driver side on my 2010 challenger rt and the door opens a little different as well as the lock being reversed. If I unlock the car it locks the driver side. If I lock the car then it unlocks the driver side. How do I fix this?

Sounds to me like the replacement actuator is wired in reverse. That, or you could be using two left or right side actuators. I've never replaced a Dodge actuator, so I don't know how they mount? If they use a cable, I would expect them to share the same polarity, but maybe not.

Pull the new a actuator off and bench test it to verify proper (or improper in this case) operation.

If it doesn’t operate in the expected manner during bench tests, return it and source one from a different place. Steve White, Rock Auto, Autozone, etc. I would trust parts from any of those place before I would something Amazon has for sale.
