98 s70 front passenger door lock question

AVIP · Post by **AVIP** » 22 Mar 2014, 17:45

Just bought a actuator with the handle on ebay. I undid the two screws by the door latch on the actuator and undid the two connections and it wouldnt pull out?

Secondly. A mechanic disabled yhe door handle from the outside to prevent the car being opened (door lock actuator stuck open) how can I undo this? I remember he released something inside the door

you have to loosen or take out the outer door handle, it is secured by a screw on the side of the door. When you remove the door handle and the actuator examine how the door handle meshes or is connected to the actuator. I think this is how your mechanic disabled the outer door handle.

in addition I think the screw at the bottom of the door that secures the window track should be removed or loosened so that you can wiggle the actuator out.

Sorry just having issues I really appreciate the reply. Where is the screw? And is it only one screw? Im a little worried about removing the outer handle.

I will loosen that screw to try and remove the actuator

And to mention this is front Passenger door

Just realized I bough the rear door actuator :/

Sorry to keep moving this topic but seller emailed me saying the rear should work for the front. But had no problem refunding me if I need. This actuator comes with a door handle. Will the two work (front to back) or should I wait for the front one? Is there any difference?
