i found this..but not helping me..mayb cuz its nite time...illl work on it tom morn...

 

wuts ur email?

 

can't see anything really during the video , and i just hear a car revving, but look along where the door seal runs in the door jamb are and the door latch is, there should be two srcews (might be torx though), undoing those will loosen the door latch/lock

 

i dont know the answe to your problem but your "locked" beep sounds pretty loud as to mine..maybe its the vid?

 

The screws aren't torx. Regular philips. If I remember right its two or three holding it in the door and then the arm for the latch. Rears are a little bit harder than the fronts because they're set in the doors so far. Wish I could give you some good instructions, just take your time. It will also help to have a long shank screwdriver to help you. Just have a little patience, good luck!

 

yea after i unscrew the door lock is came right out..i thought i could do it without taking that out...but u cant

 

did u fix it?

 

nah..i got everything out...but da gear i had was GR4....n i needed GL4...sob....i had a right door not a left door..didnt think it matter....

ohwell...it only cost me 10...still hav the noise..

now my window stuck tho....wth!...what could i hav done

 

check the track for the window. theres a bar u gotta take out to get to the actuator.

 

oooo shyt yea...i didnt put the screw back..whoops...

 

I have a similar problem, but its the front passenger door, removed panel, removes plastic sound dampening material, took out the actuator but, I cannot get the new one properly, there is a small pole that has to inserted through the actuator arm. any ideas on how this works

 

Hi All :

Sorry Jt if I semi-hijack your thread......

I have a intermittent front passenger side lock actuator that I can't seem to remove. I can get all the fasteners off and the unit is free in the door but I can't seem to maneuver the unit out from behind the window track. Looking at the parts catalog, I have a sneaky suspicion that the unit splits into two pieces and that's how you get it (them) out.

Can anyone confirm this is how to remove the unit (s) and also, which of the two pieces is the one that usually fails ?

Thanks in advance.

No the actuator does not come in two pieces. The moving part (the arm) is what usually gets stuck after you remove the three screws. Its just a feel by hand process at this time. I haven't seen a doy on this.
