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.
