To bad you're not in the So. Cal. area, I would be happy to do it free for you. If you have any mechanical aptitude, once you've done it once you'll see how easy it is and you could come close to doing it with your eyes closed the second time. I would actually use the "dog knot" on the actuator end and use a modified "Z" (2- 90 degrees) on the other end where it attaches to the original actuator. With the door panel off, it shouldn't take more than 1/2 hour to do the actual hook up once you have done 1 and have a clear understanding of what to do (and how easy it is).
Hey Code58,
I have the same problem with my lock. I've been reading the thread, and its pretty confusing to me. Do you think you could help me with it if I bring my car over, or unless you want to come over to my home. I am off Euclid/405. Thanks
