The door lock switch still functions, but the driver's side door lock will not actuate.
I took off the door panel and inspected. It seems that the actuator (covered with a rubber boot) is loose. Sticking up from the boot is a thin metal rod that goes up to the 'point of axis' where the door lock (visible silver tab) and the door handle actuating rod join.
From what I saw, I need to swing up the actuator in the direction of the door hinge. However, the window guide is in the way.
Has anyone replaced one of these before? If so, any hints? If I have to loosen the window guide, what should I watch out for?
Thanks.
