• Q: How to replace the Door Lock Cylinder (with UA2) on 2007 Cadillac CTS?

  A: The replacement procedure for Door Lock Cylinder (with UA2) requires window elevation to full up before removing door trim panels. The rear section of the water deflector should be moved away from the door to reveal the outside Door Handle before its removal. The e-clip accessory of the lock cylinder requires removal followed by removal of the lock rod and arm. A suitable prying tool should be inserted between reinforcement and roll pin so that downward pressure allows pliers to grasp the opposite end before removing it. A drift punch should be used to extract the remaining roll pin. Extraction of the lock cylinder must be performed from the Door Handle's back side. The installation of a new lock cylinder requires following procedures defined for key and lock cylinder coding. Place the lock cylinder inside the Door Handle cavity while installing both roll pins followed by attaching the e-clip to fasten the lock cylinder arm and rod onto the lock cylinder. The installation process ends with replacing the outside Door Handle and water deflector and door trim panel.
