How to replace the inner door lock actuator on 2009 Cadillac XLR?

Question

Accepted Answer

The first step to replace the door inside manual release actuator involves positioning the seat to the rear and removing the trim plugs from the floor mounted door release fastener sockets. Move the pushpin from the front seat riser cover near to the floor-mounted door release then tilt the cover forward to expose the rear fastener of the release mechanism. Detach both fasteners on the door release assembly as well as the fasteners on the backside of the door release actuator. Detach the release halves then remove the cable sheath from the housing but retain the position of the cable sheath end which is important for later installation. Pull the door release towards the back while passing the cable through the actuator sections before disconnecting the cable end from the latch actuating lever. Position the door release actuator with its rear facing and insert the cable end to the release actuating lever while rotating the assembly forward and steering the cable through the actuator halves until the cable sheath seating position is located in the molded fingers of the housing. Fasten the cable sheath into the actuator before joining the two parts next follow by mounting fasteners to the backside of the door release actuator while tightening them to 2 Nm (18 lb in). Secure the door release actuator at the door sill before attaching both fasteners at 10 Nm torque specs to the door release assembly and finally use pushpins to secure the seat riser cover to the hole after inserting the trim plugs into the door release actuator.
