• Q: How to replace the door lock cylinder without RPO code UA2 on 2003 Cadillac CTS?

  A: The process to replace a Door Lock Cylinder without rpo code ua2 starts by putting the window in full up position followed by door trim panel removal. To gain entry to the outside Door Handle you must pull the rear of the water deflector from the door opening. Start by removing the e-clip from the lock cylinder before proceeding to take off the lock rod along with the arm. A small flat tool helps to free the lock cylinder by inserting between clip and housing before you can twist to remove it from the Door Handle's backside. When installing a new lock cylinder you must perform correct coding according to protocol. To lock the cylinder insert the retaining clip entirely inside the handle before you snap the cylinder through the outside from its backside. After placing the e-clip between the lock cylinder arm and rod position the outside Door Handle before installing the water deflector and finally putting on the door trim panel.
