Tools

  • Flat-head screwdriver or other prying tool
  • Philips screwdriver

Removal

Step 1

Remove the screw behind the pull handle.

Step 2

Slide the handle assembly forward and out.  It won’t come all the way out yet.

Step 3

Detach the handle from the lock and latch rods.  A plastic clip on each rod has to be unclipped, then the rod can lift out of the hole.

Step 4

Remove power lock wiring harness (if equipped).  With the 2 rods detached, you can pull the assembly out & get access to the harness.  Use the flat-head screwdriver to pry the clip on the harness loose, then remove the harness.

Installation

Installation is the reverse of removal.
