Yep done this to two cars now.It is quite easy but time consuming job.

The drivers door has 5 or 6 wires {key less or not** the rest only have two wires.

Have plenty of time as this is going to take about 6 hours alone depending if you got keyless or not.

Start with enough time and take all the door skins off off just take your time so you don't break any clips.I used a large screw driver on a couple of the skins to lever right beside where the clipps attach to the doors.

You have to see how the locking mechanism works on both back and front doors when you sus that you have to get actuator mounted so it pulls and pushes the locking rod without binding.

One final tip super glue all the screws that clamp the actuator rods to the locking rod.

Good luck

Hi. couple more tricks, drop the panel under the steering column as it will make the wiring easier and have a look for a pale yellow module above the accelerator pedal (may or may not be there) with a 6 or 8 pin plug on it and pull the plug off and see if the module has any terminals on it.......It may be a dummy used to hold the wires in place and the wires are power and earth for locking (and feeds to the doors but dont use them just the power and earth wires.) white green is power and it might need a fuse in the fuse box to make it live. Cheers MD
