Remove the door trim panel and the plastic watershield. For 2003 and earlier models, start by removing the latch retaining screws from the end of the door, then reach inside to release the latch from the control rods. On models with power door locks, disconnect the electrical connector, detach the door latch and, if equipped, the door lock solenoid. For the lock cylinder and outside handle, disconnect the control link rod from the outside handle, remove the outside handle retention nuts, and pull the handle from the door. Detach the electrical connector from the lock cylinder, use a screwdriver or pliers to pry off the retaining clip, and remove the lock cylinder. For the inside handle, remove the door trim panel, take out the retaining screws, pull the handle free, disconnect the link(s) from the inside handle control, and remove the handle. For 2004 and later models, remove the door trim panel and detach the handle and lock knob cables. Remove the door window glass and the module assembly, pry out the grommet covering the T30 Torx bolts in the doorjamb, and unscrew the bolt carefully. Pull the outside handle outward, and if working on a driver's door, pull the key cylinder outward and to the rear simultaneously. Unscrew the three door lock Torx bolts in the door jamb and remove the door lock, then unscrew the Torx bolts securing the outside handle bracket and remove the bracket and door lock assembly together toward the rear of the vehicle. Disconnect the outside handle cable and, if necessary, disengage the three pawls securing the lock cylinder to the escutcheon. Installation is the reverse of the removal steps.
