How hard is it to change out the power lock mechanism in the drivers door?
It is fairly easy, You have to remove the door panel, take off your watch and put on some rubber gloves, the gum that prevents the wind from coming through the door is super sticky, ok, first, look for fasteners at the bottom of the door hidden under little trim caps, then look behind the handle for a screw, then look down in the armrest for more screws, then, when you have the door loose on the bottom, pop the plastic clips that hold the rest of it on, then pop it straight up past the door lock, It is a little tricky, once you get it off and dangling by wires, rest it on something so it doesn't hit the floor, Now peel off the sticky stuff carefully in front of the lock, The electric part is down near the handle, it is bolted to the frame and has two rods going to it, one up, one down, remove the whole thing, pull the wires, put in the new one, remember how it was, then put the whole mess back together after you check to make sure it works. It might be the switch, they get wet when the window is down in the rain, and they quit working. Check it out, hope this helps.
