I have the paneling off. where is the actuator and how do i get at it? Does anyone Know?

I don't know the exact location of it for your year/make but if the door panel is off I would follow the little metal wire that goes to your door lock (or the wires if it's that type) and I'll bet it sits somewhere in the back part of the door (towards the rear of the car) once you find it then make sure that when you try to lock/unlock the door see if it does anything or makes any noise... make sure that all the wires/metal controls etc. are hooked up to it still.... let us know!
