Door Lock Removal

[TrevorB]

I need to replace my passenger door locking mechanism due to a faulty microswitch. Removing the door panel is straightforward but it looks pretty difficult to get the actual lock body out. Any advice? Thanks.

The window in the upper possition, remove the copper colored plate ( wire rooter ), disconnect the lock > outside door handle connection, there is room enough to get the lock out.

I didn't notice a copper coloured plate when I had the panel off but then again I wasn't looking for it! Thanks for that.

Been along time since I did mine but I recall taking 2 nuts off then the halfs can be seperated and removed from car.
