Lock Actuator, Front Driver Side

The process to replace the front door latch begins with complete closure of the window. Take off both the panel from the door trim and the rear part of the water deflector. Remove the lock rod retaining clip from the outside Door Handle then take out the lock rod from the handle. First disconnect the lock cylinder rod from its cylinder when equipped while you remove the inside Door Handle. Start by removing three latch retaining screws from the door and then position the latch to break electrical connections when needed before eliminating it from the door. Record the exact arrangement of the inside and outside handle lock rods before removing them from the latch and then the actuator. During installation the user should attach the actuator to the latch and install the outside and inside handle lock rods at the previously marked locations. Reinstall the latch inside the door and connect electrical connectors when required by using the three screws tightened at 10 n.m (22 lb in). The procedure ends with reattaching the inside Door Handle followed by cylinder lock rod connection to the cylinder and the installation of the lock rod at the outside Door Handle and final securing with the rod retaining clip. Place the water deflector along with the door trim panel in its original position next.

Replacing the front Door Lock Actuator begins with trimming the door panel while you also remove the deflector and latch assembly. The two screws holding the actuator in place must be removed from the lock. Perform a smooth lift and rotation of the actuator which will detach the rubber Bumper from the latch before removing the actuator from its position. Start by placing the rubber Bumper on the latch and rotate the actuator toward the latch to complete the Bumper engagement. Fitting the first tooth of both gears precisely determines the success of the actuator-latch assembly. Strap the actuator to the latch before fastening it with the 2 screws while following the service precautions for fastener notice. Secure the screws to 0.75 n.m (6 lb in). The last step involves installing the lock panel together with the door deflector and the door trim.

The first step to replace the front side door latch requires complete closure of the window. Start by removing both parts of the water deflector as well as the door trim. To start the replacement you should detach the outside Door Handle lock rod retaining clip then take out the lock rod. You should first detach the lock cylinder rod from its cylinder when equipped before taking out the inside Door Handle. You should remove the three screws that secure the latch to the door before positioning the latch to undo electrical connectors if required. After detachment from the door you can proceed with the latch removal. Take note of inside and outside handle lock rod positions before removing them from the latch then detach the actuator from the latch assembly. Install the actuator to the latch before reinstalling both inside and outside handle lock rods using the initial installation procedure. Connect the electrical connectors through the positioning of the latch, after that install it onto the door while securing it with three screws torqued to 10 nm (89 lb in). Install the inside Door Handle followed by connecting the lock cylinder rod when present and installing the lock rod to the outside Door Handle and attaching the lock rod retaining clip. The last step includes reinstallation of the door trim panel with the water deflector.

The first step to replace the front door latch requires users to fully shut the window. Take out the door trim panel alongside the rear half of the water deflector. The lock rod retaining clip should be detached from the outside Door Handle and the handle must receive the lock rod for removal. First disconnect the cylinder rod when available and afterward separate the inner Door Handle from its mountings. Before detaching the latch from the door remove the three screws which keep it in place then adjust its position for easy electrical connector disconnection. Record where the inside and outside handle lock rods sit before removing them from the latch and its following actuator. First attach the actuator to the latch after which mount the noted positions of both inside and outside lock rods. Install the latch by connecting its electrical connectors if required before reinserting it in the door. Use 3 screws to attach the latch before tightening them to 10 n.m (22 lb in). To finish the installation you must reinstall the inside Door Handle while joining the lock cylinder rod to the cylinder when present and installing the lock rod onto the outside Door Handle by using the lock rod retaining clip. You should replace the water deflector then the door trim panel.

Start replacing the front door latch by completely closing the window. The first step requires you to take out the door trim panel together with the rear section from the water deflector. The external Door Handle requires the lock rod retaining clip removal before removing the lock rod from the handle. The inside Door Handle requires removal if lock cylinder rod is present since you must first detach its rod from the cylinder. The door latch requires three screws removal before disconnecting electrical connectors so you can move the latch out of the door opening. First note the starting position of inside and outside handle lock rods then disconnect and remove both rods from the latch followed by the actuator. The installation process starts by attaching the actuator to the latch followed by reinstallation of the inside and outside handle lock rods according to previous procedure steps. Safely position the latch for connection of electrical connectors before placing it into the door slot. Tighten the three screws which secure the latch up to 10 n.m (22 lb in) force. The installation process involves putting back the inside Door Handle followed by connecting the lock cylinder rod to the cylinder (when possible) then placing the lock rod onto the outside Door Handle while anchoring it with the lock rod retaining clip. You need to put back the door trim panel along with the water deflector at the end.

Install the 3 screws (Part Number: 123456) and tighten them to 10 N.m (89 lb in).

Simultaneously lift and rotate the actuator to disengage the rubber bumper from the latch, then remove the actuator from the latch.

Disconnect the electrical connectors from the latch and take the latch out of the door.

Next, take out the water deflector.

Close the window completely.

Disconnect the electrical connectors from the latch.

Carefully lift and rotate the actuator to disengage the rubber bumper from the latch, then remove the actuator from the latch.

Reinstall the lock to the door, followed by the water deflector and finally the door trim panel.

Position the latch back onto the door.

Install the actuator to the top of the latch and secure it with the 2 screws, tightening them to 0.75 N.m (6 lb in).

Connect the electrical connectors to the latch.

Attach the rubber bumper to the latch.

Take out the 2 screws that secure the actuator to the lock.

Rotate the actuator toward the latch to fully engage the rubber bumper.
