The power lock on my 02 s80 on the passenger side read door no longer works. I have ordered the replacement part from FCP, but can't seem to find any information on the process of replacing it. Is this a pretty straight forward process, or is it more involved. I believe that I read one thread that said something about havinf to remove the window to complete the process. Is that correct? Does anyone happen to have the instructions to complete this fix?

 

Funny thing is i have the same problem on the same door on my 00 s80 t6

 

Ignition off.
Remove the key.
Note! The key must be removed to ensure that the ignition is not switched on by mistake.
Note! After the key has been removed: Wait 1 minute before starting work

Remove:

• the surround for the inner door opener
• the cover for the inner door opener
• the screw under the cover
• the 6 door panel press clips.

Carefully tap the bottom of the panel to release it.
Pull the upper edge of the panel inward.
Disconnect the connectors.
Install:
In reverse order

 

i cant get the image up but once you get the door panel off you should be able to pull the plastic back and look around find the power lock thing. door panels are not to hard to take off once you do a few

 

OK, I put the new door latch/lock in last night. I had been a little scared about this repair as there was very little info in the web on how to do it. But it ultimately ended up being a 20 minute process, and 5 minutes of that were spent trying to find the two nuts that I dropped into the cavity of the door (darn the fat fingers!). The only part that was even remotely tricky was trying to get the bar from the exterier door handle attached to the door latch. The space was kind of tight in there. Overall it was a good night.

On a side note, I have to put in a plug for FCPGroton. I have replaced a ton of items on my S80 over the last 2 months (struts, strut ounts, timing belt, water pump, thermostat, inner and outter tie rod ends, door lock actuator....) and FCP made that as painless to my wallet as possible. They consistently had all the parts I needed at the lowest price. Bar none, they were the lowest price on every part I needed to buy.
