Make sure the window is up all the way. Then, remove both the upper and lower portions of the trim pad. Going in through the largest access hole, disengage the rod connecting the remote control to the lock as follows: Use a suitable prytool to slide the spring clip out of engagement. The clip must be slid on the lock lever until the ends of the clip no longer engage with the grooved section of the end of the lock rod. You don't need to remove the clip from the lock lever. There is a slot in the rear side of the clip so it can shift on the lock lever even though the lockrod passes right through it. Pull the lockrod out of the lock lever. If the car has electric locks, remove the solenoid. Remove the three screws mounting the lock onto the door lock pillar section of the door and remove the lock. On some models, it may be necessary to remove the inside remote handle and then remove the lock and the connecting rod together. On four door models, it will be necessary to remove the lock, then separate the lockrod from the lock on a work-bench, and install the rod onto the new lock. Install in exact reverse order. Tighten the lock mounting screws to 7-12 ft. lbs. (9-16 Nm).

Place the tabs into the slots and secure the handle with rivets.

If applicable, remove the electronic solenoid, unbolt and take out the latch, and also remove the ajar switch if present.

Disconnect the cable by inserting a small screwdriver into the connector to hold the release tab down, then pull the cable out of the solenoid.
