Trying to replace the door lock actuator on 2019 5th gen. There are absolutely no videos or even walk through’s. Does anyone have a detailed guide or video?

If your Ram is a 4th Gen Classic
You can get to it by removing the Door Panel after raising the window, but it is darn tight to get to the actuator & even worse to put the new one back in.

I watched & helped the body shop employee a bit, as he worked on my 2016 Ram passenger door actuator removal.
After he did that, we discovered that my Ram had a slightly bent rod

He removed the actuator by working through that 5" x 5" rubber square.

If he just removed the inner door panel, he could have replaced the actuator inless than half the time.

Just an hour before he worked on the actuator, he had that inner panel off

This guy should go back to school, he uses a screwdriver when he should be using Plastic Trim Tools, so you do not scratch everything up, where he takes the 6 plastic screws that hold the door panel on, he should be inserting the tool between the panel & the metal behind it & then pop the screw out
