Simple Guidelines for Installing Door Lock

Step 1:  Remove all the screws from your door.  Make sure you do not miss any.  Depending on the  make of your vehicle, the screws will vary in location.

Step 2:  Pull from the bottom of the door paneling as if it's on hinges from the window area.  It will unsnap from your door frame.  Note that you may need to pull with some force to get the door paneling to unsnap.  However, if it feels like you are pulling too hard, check for any missed screws.

Step 3:  Slide the door paneling up and it will come off the frame of your door.

Step 4:  Disconnect any wires that are connected to your door paneling.  They should unclip.  Do not cut any wires if they don't unclip.

Step 5:  Detach the plastic covering in your door.  Be careful, you will need to reattach it later.

Step 6:  Setup your door actuator so that it will run parallel with your door lock rod.  You will need to screw the metal bracket in the door in a manor that the actuator will be able to mount in parallel with the door lock rod.  Make sure you locate your actuator in a location that won't cause a problem when you reattach your door paneling.

Step 7:  Run the wires for the actuator through the rubber hose which connects between the door and your vehicle.

Step 7 Cont.: If your door does not have a rubber hose connecting them, you may want to buy a form of rubber hosing from a place like Wal-Mart or Advance Auto.  Now you can connect the wires to your actuator according to the wire colors.

Step 8:  Reattach the plastic to your door.

Step 9:  Reattach the door paneling to your door.  You will have to attach it to the top before the bottom will attach properly.  Usually, the top towards the mirror has to be attached before the opposite top side will attach correctly.

Step 10:  Snap the door paneling back in place.  Then attach the screws appropriately.
