V6 6MT

Well, I believe I have the usual door lock actuator failure. I have a new actuator waiting to go in and got the door panel off.

I can see and touch the actuator, but how does it come out? Do I need to remove the latch? If so, is there a trick to removing the 3 screws around the latch? Mine seem like they don't want to budge because they're overtightened or locktighted?

Thanks for newbie help.

V6 MT,

You shouldn't have to remove the door latch. If you have already removed the door panel then try removing the door glass inner weatherstrip from the door panel by pulling it down.

From this point in time, you should be able to spot an electrical connector. All you have to do is disconnect the electrical connector and remove the door actuator:
