Important: Before installing the new actuator, the latch (4) must be in the full
open position. The teeth on the lock actuator (10) must pushed fully toward
the actuator arm in order to prevent damage to the lock assembly after
the assembly is operated.
- Position the plastic teeth (10) of the lock switch (11).
Push the teeth fully toward the actuator arm (9) in order to mesh the
lock switch teeth (10) with the teeth on the lock assembly, when

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners
must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring
replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant
are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or
corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified.
These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage
the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when
installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
- Install the 2 TORX®
fasteners.
Tighten
Tighten the fasteners to 8 N·m (71 lb in).
