2. Locate the door/lid lock motor and unhook the link rod from the motor.
3. Disconnect the electrical connector for the lock motor. Remove the two screws holding the motor to the door or lid.

NOTE: Front door and hatchback lock motors are mounted on brackets.

Installation is the reverse of removal. Test the central lock motor before reinstalling the interior trim panels.

CAUTION! The lock motors should not be tested using a battery or power supply. Damage to the motor may result. Test the motors only through the central locking control unit.
