How to install
Door panel comes off with 3 10mm bolts hidden behind plastic covers, several plastic pop clips around the sides and bottom, and then lift it up off the door to remove. Pop out the switch panel and remove connectors, disconnect wire pull attached to door handle.
The actuator is attached at 6 points: Torx bolts to door, 3 metal rods, the pull cable and the wiring harness.
-Drop a flashlight into the bottom of the door so you can see better.
-Take a picture of the actuator in the door so if you get lost, you can remember how everything is attached.
-My suggestion after doing this is to first disconnect the rod attached to the yellow clip (hint, the clip opens by pushing the tab towards the OUTSIDE of the car).
-Then unclip the rod attached to the key. Dont try to unhook it from the actuator. It is connected to a red plastic clip up at the top and can be removed by pushing the rod towards the BACK of the car.
-Remove the torx bits.
-Now you can move the actuator around within the door to unclip the pull cable and the wiring harness. The wiring harness is released by sliding the red plastic tab up. 2 rods will still be attached to the actuator, the key lock rod and the one going up to the lock indicator. Remove all from the door.
