Hey guys - long time reader, first time poster
I have an 05 Titan ext cab. Last week I replaced the OE driver door lock actuator with a Dorman replacement unit. It lasted 2 days (absolute garbage). I have a new Nissan OE unit to replace it with, but can't open my driver door to replace it.
I have the inner door panel off and it appears that something is broken inside the unit where the inside and outside handle cables will not release the latch mechanism.
I have tried tapping on the unit inside the door, twisting the cable to fish something inside to catch, etc. I'm at a loss as to how to get the door open now? Trying to break this thing apart while bolted inside the door is going to be a bear of a challenge if that's what it comes down to.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
