Removing Door Panel for 2004 LS430 to install Actuator...

Moogy · 10-31-09, 12:44 PM

I've got my new Actuator, and looking at it, seems pretty simple to install. The only issue is I can't find any instructions on removing the door panel (front drivers side).

Has anyone here removed the door panel and installed a replacement actuator?

Any references or instructions would be appreciated.

Awesome PDF - thanks!

But holy crap - I did my brakes myself, and it was cake. This is a major PITA. I've taken off the door panel, but I don't know exactly how to manage the lock assembly separate from the actuator. I think I'm going to pass this one to a Mechanic. It's by no means easy at all.

i look at the link. you can change the door lock motor without taking out the regulator. just make sure you pop out the keyhole cylinder first. i did beangrower's one i think i charge him only 60 bux to do one front and one rear.
