Dear Boro or other members,

I have read your "How-to" to remove the door panel of my malibu 2009.
I've use it to remove the led in the interor door handle. I've tried to remove the cable who came from door latch to the interior panel but i was unable to. I did not want to break anything on the door panel. I was able to remove the door handle led even if the cable was there.

Could you give me more info about this part, do i have to pull very hard o the attach of the cable to remove it?
Do i need o twist the connector that hold the cable with plier to remove it?

Because i will need to disamble the interior door one more time. The door speaker is broke.

Thanks in advance and excsue my english.

Great How-to!!! I used this to fix my left rear door, although it worked opposite the other doors until I switched the wires. I'd recommend checking it before you solder/crimp those connections, there must be some differences in the actuators out there!
