Hi. How are you doing? I'm Mike Green. You got yourself a Suburban or Chevy or GMC truck. This in particular is a 1999 Chevrolet Suburban, same as 92 to 99 Chevrolet or GMC Suburban and pretty much the same as an 88 to 98 Chevy or GMC truck. What happens to a lot on these things is the power door locks go out. On this particular truck, this door, the actuator is not working anymore. When you lock and unlock the doors with the switch, they all lock of unlock except for this one. I'm going to show you how to fix that. It's pretty simple job.
First thing I got to do is remove the door panel. For this door lock actuator replacement, you'll need a Phillips head screwdriver, a regular screwdriver, a putty knife or a door panel clip tool, a drill with 5/16 drill bit, coarse bolts 1/2 inch long by an 1/8 inch and a Ratchet and Socket for those coarse bolts.
First, we remove these two Phillips head screws from the door pole. A little tip, if you get one that's a little tough, use a hammer and just tap the screwdriver a little bit and that will loosen it up and also drive the screwdriver down into the screw head. Move this door handle surround by using a screwdriver and just going around the four corners and it comes out. Here's the backside of your door panel and you see here the pins, they go on to these grunts. You could you want to pry and make sure you don't break. What you'll do is you'll break the plastic on the door panel; you want to be very careful. When you push your knife in, you want to push your knife in under here and pry like that. Really, you want to try and get it all the way right under there.
What you want to do is get your tool under there, slide it until you feel something then pull it out. Put it back in and force it underneath and then put your screwdriver underneath and then pop the clip. Repeat this procedure for all the clips around the outside edge of the door panel. Now all the pins are all loose. That goes up like that. Now you got to unplug your light, unplug your speaker and power window switch. You have a close up on exactly how this switch works and press on this little tab here and work it out. That tabs what hold it in and then on this, you'd be pressing down on a tab there and this light, you could just pull right out.
Okay. This plastic here is the water shield and you want to pull it out carefully. To remove our original, we've got to drill out these two rivets here. Let's have the door, it's positioned like this. There's a rod you have to pull down through here, goes up through there and it connects on to there. There's a connector that's connects unto there and you can take it out. Here's our original, here's our new. We're going to have to transfer this bracket unto the backside of that and I can also swap these dust cover unto here because this is a more complete dust cover. I've switched my bracket over and just going to mount them like this. I've put my dust cover on. I'm going to put it up in there, I'm going to clack this and I'm going to clack the electrical connection.
Now I've got it in, I've got the rod back up and you can see it's here and I'm going to use a couple of coarse threaded bolts rather than rivets. You had to really push and hold the bracket on the other side. It's in somewhat, I'm just going to test it now just to make sure. I'm going to move you over here. You can see our door lock right here, down the close position and it is working.
Put the other bolts in and then put the door pin back on. We've got our door lock actuator back in, we put the water shield up, we're ready to reinstall the door panel. First, we want to connect the speaker and the light and then push the window up through. The speaker first, pretty simply clipped on and the light, the same. There's our power window. We hook this on top, make sure that that's coming through and then we wind up a pin over the first one on top here and make sure this one over here is wind up and it is. Start pushing them in. Make sure all these are lined up. Make sure the bottom ones are lined up. Pull our switch up, install it, hold it back down in with one of our door handle around it. We install our two screws, tighten them up and we're done.
We've replaced door lock actuator, we got the door panel back on and the screws all done. Now, lock, unlock. Yay. That's it. Door lock actuator replacement on these GM trucks and SUVs, it's a pretty, pretty easy installation. Requires basic tools, the drill then you can do it.
We hope this has helped you out. Thank you very much. Be sure to visit www.1AAuto.com for all your parts needs.

Here are the items you'll need for this repair.
Remove the two Phillips head screws inside of the armrest on the door. Do this with a Phillips head screwdriver. To remove the bezel around the interior door handle, you need to kind of get in there with a trim tool or a flat blade screwdriver, and push down on the tab to release it. There are three: one at the top, one at the bottom, and one on the side.
Remove the extension at the top of the door panel by prying out with a trim tool. Using your trim tool, pry up at the back of the power window switch. Lift it up and pull back to release the hook at the front. Disconnect the connector for your tweeter. Pop up the tab on this two pin connector at the front of the window switch, and pop the connector out, and then push down on the tab for the main connector and remove that from the switch. I'm using a pick here. You could also use a small flat blade screwdriver or a trim tool if you had to, really whatever works best for you.
Using the trim tool, pop out on the door reflector and remote the connector. This is another one of the ones we'll have to lift up on the tab with a pick. Using a trim tool, pry out the bottom of the door. You may need to work it a little bit to figure out where the tabs are. You'll also need to pop out this pin at the top on the front of the door. Once all the tabs are out, lift the panel up and remove it from the door.
Peel off the inner water shield on the door. There's also a small piece over in the corner. Make sure your window is rolled all the way down. There are ten 7 millimeter screws around the perimeter of the inner panel. One under the speaker here that's a little tricky to see, and a 10 millimeter at the front. We'll need to remove all of those with a socket and ratchet. Pull the panel forward. Pull out the handle rod. It may help to have a tool to help you get some leverage on it. You'll also want to pop that out of its guide clip. Same thing with the lock rod down here. We'll also need to pop this out of its guide rod and pull it out of the lock actuator as well. Pop out the tab for the courtesy light in the door. Lift up on the cover for the door lock actuator, and remove that connector. You need to fish it out and around. Pop that retainer through, and then pop out all the rest of the retaining clips to remove the harness from the door.
You'll also need to unplug the window motor and the door speaker and pull the harness through the door. Slide the door panel forward until the window roller is out of its channel, then slide the guide out of the back and remove the assembly from your vehicle.
Remove the four 1/4 inch screws from the bottom of the door lock actuator. Ours is missing one, but you're remove them the exact same way. Remove the actuator.
So here we have our old door lock actuator that we removed from our truck and our new part from 1AAuto.com. If you remove this rubber sheathing on the old part, you'll see that they're exactly the same. We have the same two-pin connector at the back, the same body and the same actuator arm on both pieces. We also have four new screws that come with this. We'll need to remove those with a Phillips head screwdriver and install it onto our door panel just like our original equipment.
Install your new lock actuator and the new Phillips head screws, as well as your lock washers and nuts included with your new part. Using a 9/16th wrench and a Phillips head screwdriver, tighten down the four new screws for your door lock actuator.
Reconnect your door speaker and your window motor, and send the rest of your wiring harness back through the door. Slide the back half of your window regulator back into the window track. Once the back is in, slide forward and install the front part of the regulator into the glass as well. Reconnect the door lock as well as the door handle. Don't forget to engage the lock actuator, and snap both rods back into their guides.
Realign your door panel. Reinstall your wiring harness. Make sure that all the tabs and retainers go back in their appropriate places. Make sure you run the harness through, and reconnect the door actuator as well. Lock the clasp in for your reflector, courtesy light, and reinstall the ten 7 millimeter screws around the perimeter, as well as the one 10 millimeter. Reinstall the water shield. Sometimes this adhesive doesn't really want to stick a second time, if that's the case, it's all right to put some tape on there to secure the edges.
Pull your wire harness back through the door and lay the top edge into the door frame. Line up the plastic containers and push them all back into place. Reinstall the inner door handle bezel by lining it up and snapping it in. Reinstall your reflector. Place the upper door extension into place. Reinstall the two Phillips head screws in the armrest.
Reconnect your door speaker as well as the two electrical connections on the power window switch. Slide the front hook into the door panel. Snap the back into place, and you're good to go.
