| RE: Rear tail gate lock actuator--!
I posted in the other place the details of replacement. It is definitely a do it yourself. It took me 20 minutes and I'd never done one. The part cost about $120.00. You have to remove the interior hatch panel (take door handle/lock mold off ) and it unsnaps. Once inside, you will see the wire running to it. Just unplug it and get a set of nut drivers or small sockets to remove the exterior trim handle mold from the inside. Then you can get to the two screws that hold on the handle assembly. The actuator comes with the entire handle. |

Thanks. cmitch. I will keep that in mind once the actuator does go bad. It sound like it is, but just wanted to make sure. |
