- If you're experiencing problems with your Nissan or Infiniti door lock, this video is for you. In this step-by-step video, I show you how to replace your door lock actuator or handle. This tutorial is based on a 2012 G37, but the process is similar for many other Nissan and Infiniti models.
In addition to the door lock replacement, I also cover how to remove and replace the door panel, window regulator, window motor, outside door handle, and more. This video is packed with valuable information that can help you save money and avoid costly repair bills.
By watching this video, you'll learn valuable tips and tricks that can help you with other car repair projects as well. Whether you're a seasoned mechanic or a DIY enthusiast, this video is a must-watch.

Just swapped my power window switch out in under 5 minutes with this video and now have working windows and locks for the first time in 3 years! Thanks dude keep up the videos!
Just finished fixing a right front side actuator on a 2008 G35x w/218,000 miles. Would not have attempted it w/o your video. Thank you for taking the time creating this, you save us $$$ and I am now much more educated having done the hands-on part.
Thank you for the feedback. I am glad that this video helped you get this done. 😁
Every winter we struggled with this problem and your video gave us vital intel that we desperately needed. Thank you so much!
You're welcome!
This video was extremely helpful. I had to replace the front passenger door lock actuator and the rear drivers. This video made it much more easy.
Last week my auto lock stoped working on 2010 my G37. I bought the factory part on line from an Infiniti parts dealer for 300.00 and was worried on how to replace. Your video made the work easy. Thanks for posting this sir!
Your welcome.. Thanks for watching!
This video was honestly a life saver. I was going to be charged a ton by the dealer, but after watching I felt confident I could do it. A few minor things different in my Nissan Altima coupe 2012, but all in all worked out great. Thank you so much!
Just wanted to say thank you for posting this video. I have a 2009 fx35, and the rear door actuator had this buzzing sound. Bought the actuator on Amazon for about $40. Fortunately, I didn’t have to remove the window. Just had it rolled all the way up and was able to get access. The only issue I ran into was a metal post that made it difficult to remove the old actuator. Found a bolt on the door that I removed which allowed to move the post over to remove and then replace. Took me a little less than an hour to complete. Dealership wanted something like $1000 parts and labor. You’re a lifesaver!!
Thank you for the kind words. Glad my video helped and thanks for watching!
Thanks for uploading this! Now I know how involved it will actually be LOL I thought it would be easier! This is going to have to be a weekend project with my dad. We've been fixing up my 2008 Altima little by little. It's fun taking the car apart and learning about cars with him :)
Invaluable video for showing us how to remove the panel to check on one of the Bose speakers that was not working in my son's 2009 G37. Turns out, it was not plugged in! Easy half hour fix that didn't cost us a dime. THANKS! (Small hint when snapping the door panel back in place: make sure the white tabs are in the PANEL and not the door. A few stuck in the door when we removed the panel and we did not realize it right away. The panel won't "snap" back into place if the tabs are in the door.)
Just another person saying "Thank you!" for uploading this video. Much appreciated! Cheers!
You are very welcome! Thanks for watching!
This video was perfect. Thanks for paying it forward by making this available. Exactly same for my 2009 G37X, when reinstalling the pull handle baseplate inside the door, i did not seat the side nearest the latch and it kept me from getting the screw to seat in the key cylinder. after taking a step back and inspecting, i realized the base plate wasnt seated. Thanks and im sure this will continue to help DIYr's. Part was 130 refurbished from Ebay. OEM was quoted nearly $400.
Thanks for taking the time to do this. Fixed my mom's issue in a half hour vs 300 at infiniti . Wasn't nearly as bad as I thought, I also didn't need to remove the harness on the panel, I had more than enough room to move to the side. This was on a 2010 ex35.
Many comments are from years ago... information is still valid and extremely helpful! I had an actuator that totally failed, and I could not open the door from inside or out. So I had to take apart the inside of the door while shut, moved the seat wayyyyy back, pried the door panel toward me to undo the clips, then disconnected all the "stuff" so that I could pull out, then slide up, then pulled toward the rear of the car for the panel to come off (visualize those Lamborghini doors that slide up and out if that helps ya) don't forget the little plug for the door light.
I was then able to undo to inner metal panel in order to reach in and pull up on the locking mechanism to open the door.
The one part of this video that I wish I did not see, was where it was stated that perhaps one could use a bladder to hold the window up and skip its removal... I used duct tape to hold it up and that was a bad move. Wound up following the video instructions and removing the window, but bent my window track a little before realizing not removing the window was a bad idea. Just follow the steps!!!
If you are mechanically inclined, take your time, and do what Mr. fixyournissan does, you will be successful.
What I learned... do not skip taking the window out, as other have suggested.
Learn how to take apart the electrical connectors... they can be frustrating and perhaps fixyournissan will zoom in on that part in a future video to demonstrate how those various clips have different pressure points.
And lastly...
My door handle slide latch thingy where the door handle connects to the rod was totally corroded, and someone had previously worked on this thing (screws missing, corrosion, replacement screws used). If your car is older, you might want to purchase a door handle assembly along with the actuator just so you aren't like me and have to do this all over to replace it.
I can now open the door from the inside thanks to this video, but, it still will not open from the outside... Not the fault of fixyournissan, just something that is probably unusual.
Thank you for the post! This was an amazing tutorial that I watched many times, and referenced as I worked on my car.
You rock dude! I now know how to replace the inner thing that is still messed up, and can use my door with the window down a bit in public to get in and out without having to go in from passenger side and look like a fool : )
Liked and subbed of course and recommend everyone do the same!
Thank you! You saved me a ton of time trying to trouble shoot an issue with the door handle on a 2006 Infiniti. I am grateful.
Very nicely done, especially how you put most of it back together. Thank you!
Steps were very similar for a 2011 Altima. Your step by step details made changing the actuator so much easier.
Thanks for posting this how-to video...saved me a bunch of $$ not having to run to the shop. Fixed my 2008 Nissian Altima with ease. Broke a few plastic clips on the door, but everything else was pretty simple.
Man, thank you so much for posting this. Managed to install an aftermarket one on my g37. Got it working and saved me $100's. Funny, there are videos of other Nissan's saying all you have to do is push in a pin that pops out of the locking mechanism in order to fix it. Mine had no such pin...
Thank you for the kind words, and happy this video helped you! Thanks for watching!
Thank you, you've excellent skill-set and the companion camera work is flawless! We've jammed the lock this morning, thinking it was likely a frozen mechanism; as it's minus 20 out there (5 am). However the temperature has risen to minus 12 and even the key can't open the driver's side door. We've been loving/driving a 2009 Nissan Altima sedan.
+Doe G This is normally when moisture gets into the latch and it freezes. So the latch assembly will need to be replaced and the steps should be almost identical to this video.
Great to see a master at work. I hope my mechanic can do it nearly as well and as fast. I'll let him know it's a 20-minute job. : o
Just because he can do in 20 mins doesn't mean hes gonna charge you for 20 mins bud!
You all need to learn how a shop works. They charge by what the manufacturer says it takes. If Nissan says it takes 1 hour to change this part I will charge 1 hour. Trust me it’s for the best if we started charging a job for the hours it takes you would be taken for a ride. Iv done jobs that call for only 1 hour of work and it ends up taking 6 hours because things are seized or won’t come apart. Would you like to pay for 6 hours of work for a simple job? This is why we use manufacturers recommended times.
some mechanics are faster than others, which is why we charge by the book.
On my qx70 the outer door handle became unattached from the ball at the end of the cable. Pretty much zero info out there despite it being a common problem. Thankfull they used the same handle design across many (maybe all) of their cars 2014-2018, so this helped a ton. Once you know the proper procedure, it’s a breeze! I’m a mechanic, and rarely do I see door panels that are this non-self explanatory. Thanks a ton!
Glad it helped! That is why I made this video!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks so much, your description is very helpful! It helped greatly. The window took me an extra hour but everything went back together, eventually.
So far the best video, everyone else cuts on the hard parts and skips over them through the process, thank you for this video
Excellent video, I am an ASE diesel mechanic, so I don't work on to many of these. LOL. It was spot on with limited exceptions for the door panel trim work. Thanks for a well shot video. I always like to see what's out here so I can get a heads up before I tear into something.
Thanks for watching! Yes, the door panels will vary depending models. But after the door panel, the steps are more or less the same.
Thanks for making this brilliant video. I had a problem with the front passenger door lock on my 2007 Qashqai and after watching this several times I was able to fit a new one myself.
Glad my video helped you get the Job done! Thank you for the feedback and thanks for watching
Thank you! This was so helpful changing out the the passenger side of a 2012 Nissan Maxima. You guys saved me hundreds in labor
Glad I could help! Thanks for watching!!
Awesome vid! Doing mine in a few days and can't find the manual anywhere online! This is perfect! thanks!!
Wow man,
I must say it's nice to watch this video and see that you have covered everything. You should be an auto-tech instructor for sure.
Great detailed video for this repair. Had to do it today.
Remember to double check the connectors before putting the panel completely back on. I forgot the window motor one and got to remove the panel again to fix.
Also be careful if you have memory seats, the plastic trim broke on mine around the buttons, so will have to try and replace that now.
Finally, if you are doing this because the door would not unlock/open, I have a suggestion for getting it open that I did not find on other videos. They all talk about using a probe to push or pull a tab down at the latch. I spent over a hour trying this on my 2013 g37x sedan. No luck. Honestly never found anything that I think would have worked that way.
My solution ended up being very simple and easy. When you loosen the top of the panel by removing the 3 10mm bolts and pop open the top part and remove the weather strip, you will have easy access to the handle/lock cables. Unhook the lock cable and pull the cable HARD with a pair of pliers. This will unlock the mechanism and allow the door to open. Then you can follow this video to repair.
I also went with a offbrand part from Amazon for 50 bucks since infiniti want 450 for the oem part. Usually I stick to oem, but not sure how much longer we'll keep this car. The part fit fine and was not noticeably different than the old one, so hopefully it will last at least a while.
This video was a HUGE help. Bought my Maxima used and the lock rod had slipped off at some point. Definitely didn't take 20 minutes but probably saved me a hundred bucks.
Anyone else with a 7th gen Maxima, you don't need to remove the speaker to access the window screws. There's 2 stickers/holes for access to each screw. Also...you need to remove the window. Since I couldn't find a second hole to line up with the speaker hole, I tried to avoid removing the window and unscrewed the actuator from the door. It was such a pain to try and screw back on. I ended up having to take out the window anyway, screwing the regulator on the inner metal door panel, then install the window like I was supposed to. Added another hour to the job. So follow the video exactly, minus the speaker.
Hello there I have a Maxima too the problem with mine is that the doors won't open with the keyfog I replaced the batteries and still don't work I've been looking online and I found out it may be the door actuator.. Do you know anything about this problem?
@@javiervargas3461 all of the doors don't open with the fob? What about the trunk? Can you open them with the unlock button inside the car?
@@batvon39 all the doors or trunk won't open with the fob or lock. But they will manually inside the car. At first I thought it was the battery on the fob which I have 2 but then I replaced the batteries on both fobs and still don't work. Before all this happened I would have the fob inside my packet and the car would start without a problem now I have to put the fob where it goes inside the car to get it start.
@@javiervargas3461not sure where it's located but sounds like the antennae/receiver on the car for the fob isn't working. If you can't open the trunk with the fob either it probably doesn't have anything to do with the door locks. I'd do some research on that, maybe it's a relay or fuse that needs to be replaced or plugged in. Also try opening the trunk with the fob button on the trunk lid, I think I heard that one has a separate receiver.
@@javiervargas3461 also try leaving the key inside (like on the passenger seat) and see if the car continuously beeps when you open the door. It usually does that when it detects the key was left inside the vehicle.
Very informative, which after watching allowed me to successfully replace the actuator on my car. You allowed me to save a ton of money. Thanks!
Glad the video helped you!! Thanks for watching!
Damn!One of the Best mechanics I have ever watched. Most guys are painfully slow. You are amazing!!👊
Appreciate the kind words! Thanks for watching!
I changed the actuator on a 2010 Altima based on your video. It was VERY helpful! Thanks!
You are very welcome. Thanks for watching!
Great and well informed video brother, I have a 2012 murano and the driver door is locked can't open from inside or outside, would this be the same problem, the seat memory buttons also stopped working, would this be the same issue? And if so how can I get the panel off with door closed
Thanks,
Thank you, I'm a newb! Didn't realize dealer would be the ONLY place to get OEM parts, but it makes sense! Thanks again for the great video and the response.
Yo we need more videos you are talented and very helpful
Thank you
Thanks for the great video! Very clear and straight to the point without long pauses and explaining every detail and history about the car. No worries on the video cutting off, thanks again.
Thanks for the kind words, and thanks for watching!
DUDE! you are amazing! I watched it 10 times
Andrei Lozovik Thank you!
Andrei Lozovik Glad it worked out and helped you! Sorry you are going to have to do more now!!!...lol
Thanks! I was able to replace my door trim bezel due to this video! :-)
Awesome vid! Never knew how fast a pro works. I was just surfing on why my Nissan Sentra driver side auto door locks quit working. I guess the actuator will need replacing.
This detailed, no-nonsense video just saved me $100 in labor! Thank you so much!!!
Your welcome.. Thanks for watching my video!!
ADAM ROSTEK tact c

Excellent instructional video. A little too involved for me. I think i'll just go old school and have a key made up.
Great video on the nissan frontier there is one bolt on bottom that holds the window guide. Remove that bolt instead of pulling window. Came right out. Thanks for starting me on the right path
Very helpful! Had to replace the driver door actuator on my 2008 Altima Hybrid that has been working on and off for years and had finally trended toward not working at all. Only difference was that I didn't have to take the speaker off to get to the right side screw for the window. I don't have one of those pry tools to get the wire harness holder things off easily, so I took off the internal door panel then pinched them from behind with pliers. Took me around an hour to do while referencing this video. Thanks for the video!
Glad this video helped! Thanks for watching!
Thanks! This video was PERFECT. I have a 2012 Nissan Altima, and the actuator broke for the second time in less than 2 years. Nissan charged me $400 to fix it the first time, and wanted even more now. Forget it. It was tricky getting everything apart since I couldn't open the door, but once I had the outer door panel off (removed it through the window) it wasn't so bad.
I never would have attempted this had I not found this video. Thanks!
You are very welcome Bill! Thanks for watching and good job getting the job done on your own!
@@FixyourNissan Well, since doing this the first time, I've replaced it a second time (plus the first time the dealer did it)... and now it's failing again. That's four times in less than 2 years.
Any idea why these would keep failing? I'm guessing moisture is getting in ... maybe a new seal around the door handle? Any other suggestions? Thanks!
@@billdykstra8058 If you are not getting parts from the dealer, that could be why. Aftermarket parts do not tend to last.
@@FixyourNissan The first one was from Nissan (and they did the repair). Lasted just a hair over a year. They wouldn't replace it because the warranty was 1 yr. Nuts to that. I bought an aftermarket with a 3yr warranty, so at least I'm only out the labour of fixing it. But agreed, it might not be the best quality part. I still think something is causing this though, so I'm replacing the seals around the handle and lock (Nissan has those available I found out after calling them).
Thanks for a very detailed video. Very helpful.
Thank you so much for your video. Followed your guidance to replace the lock assemble on my 2009 Nissan X-TRAIL. O was quoted £270 (pounds!) and instead did it myself with £30 worth of used part. Really appreciate it!!
Glad the video helped you get the job done! Thanks for watching
True professional! Thank for the great incite, tools needed and all the little tricks.
You are very welcome! Thanks for watching!
“Pull back, pull up” part saved my day.
Thank you.
Glad the info I shared helped out! Thanks for watching!
Great detailed video...thank you sincerely!
nice instructional video! didnt know it was burried under all that mechanism
I don't normally take the time to comment on videos but this video guided me through a driver's side lock actuator replacement on a 2013 Nissan Rogue. Solid video! Saved me a lot of time and money. Now my left rear passenger actuator went out...lol. Coincidence or do these things wear out at the same time? Thanks again for the video.
Thank you for taking the time to leave me the kind words. Thank s for watching and Glad this video helped! It is simply coincidence. Normally the back doors go first and you can never see that they do not work cause of the tinted windows. When one of the front doors go, that is when you end up looking and notice other doors not working.
BRAVO SIR...
this was ENLIGHTENING!!!
SAVED ME HASSELS! GOD BLESS YA!
Just want to say thank you so much!! I was able to follow this for a 2012 Nissan Murano. Very similar install. Thanks so much!
And you made it look so easy......Thanks...2011 Nissan Maxima @ 135k (got it new) and driver side door has the "lazy lock" (it won't lock all the way unless i physically use they key or hit the latch...and it sounded louder then usual when locking...now i can get the part and do it my self
I’ve watched so many videos for this, thank you for being the only competent and good one lol
Damn you're truly a pro. Great video and excellent concise information.
Thank you and thank you for watching!
Well done demonstration & explanation. No fluff and straight to the point(s).
Thank you!
Thanks for the video. I used it on my 2005 Maxima 3.5SE. Almost the same process. Very easy to do. The magnet trick worked great! This video saved me money but also all the frustration associated with figuring it out myself. It also will work on a 2005 Altima 3.5 SL. Unfortunately the door lock actuators on those two cars are not the same. ....
Thanks for watching!!
I'm having this problem now I'm sure this video will help me.. You're a beast at this! 💪💪
Thank you and Thanks for watching!
Excellent Video strait forward no unnecessarily gabbing Best instructional video I have ever seen.
Thank you for the Kind words and Thank you for watching
This was awesome. I was able to repair the door latch on my own. Your thr best!
You are very welcome. Thanks for watching!
Great Video!!
I read some of the comments but I am still unsure. I am hoping you can you can help out.
Car: 2003 G35 sedan.
Problem: Front pass. door doesn't open from the inside but open from the outside. Actuator problem too?
Problem: Front pass. window keeps falling/dropping into the door. Needs to be glued to window regulator. can you recommend any glue to use on glass?
Thank you!!!
Awesome video great step by step instructions made this repair a breeze, two thumbs up
Thank you and Thanks for Watching!
Great video. Easy to follow and spot on. I worked on a 2008 EX 35 and in order to remove the door console with the window and lock buttons (see 0:22 secs in the video) you need to lift the bottom covering off the well where his left hand is. There is a philips head screw which needs to be removed prior to prying. You don't need to remove the speaker ( 2:27) for it is mounted in the door not the removable panel. Other than that it is exactly the same.
Thanks
Thanks for watching my Video. Yes, some models are a little different as to how you would remove the door panel, and unbolt the glass. But the steps after that are as you said. Pretty much exactly the same.
Thanks again for watching!
You saved me a fortune. Thank you for the very detailed and helpful demonstration!
You are very welcome. Thanks for watching!
Big help, clear and to the point, appreciated. Was replacing window motor on my '07 Altima and happened to hear lock actuator whining....figured with the door already apart foolish not to spend the extra $35 and 20 mins to replace it. May not have taken the time w/o this vid, thanks.
You are very welcome!
Hey thanks for this video. A few months ago my 2010 g37 sedan driver side door lock stopped working. I'd park car, turn off and it wouldnt automatically unlock. They said was motor and replaced it, works fine. Now my front passenger door is doing pretty much same thing. Using the wireless remote or the door buttons it doesnt unlock. Im assuming this is the issue, so just order this part and replace?
Yes, it is a just remove and replace for the latch assembly. No programming required.
thanks for the video. I just done the lubrication of my window mechanisms.
Supporting your channel!!! Great video!
Thanks Z-speed! appreciate it! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for a very thorough video.
Fantastic video. Thank you for your assistance!
This is a great video... I would like to take my door panel off my 2004 G35 coupe to see if I need a new actuator. It's on the passenger side, and it actually opens sometimes using the key fob, (during colder winter weather, never opens in the hot summer months) so it may just need to be oiled?
Damien Jemison The Door lock Actuators are electrical. They don't require lubrication for operation. If the door lock some times works, that is a sign that the actuator is going bad and needs to be replaced.
FixyourNissan Thanks. I'll take the door apart and check it out... just so happens the window won't roll down either. So may as well kill two birds.
That's my issue. It stops working in hot weather. Been like that for a few years.
INFINITI QX 60 2014.... We searched for a similar video for a 2014 Infiniti QX 60, but could not find one specific to that model to change the front door handle. I happy to report is MUCH simpler than this video shows to change the door handle. We did not have to remove the door control panel as two of the 10mm screws were not hidden behind it. We also did not have to remove the window or ANY other parts inside the panel. We simply took out the three screws, popped of the door panel, disconnected the control panel, the door actuator lines (as shown in this video) and disconnected the lower panel light. With that, we were able to remove the door panel and with the window all of the way up, we could access the plugs for the wires on the door handle. We removed them from their "mounts" and disconnected them and removed the old handle as shown here. After slipping the wires from the new handle through and connecting them (and remounting them to the brackets the plugs were attached to) we reversed the process and installed the new door handle as shown. Me and a buddy only spent about an hour, pretty much flying blind, but we could do the job in 20 minutes now. Thankfully, relatively simple on the auto DIY scale compared to this origami project.
Glad you got this done. Sounds like you got this thing figured out!
cool stuff. I'll give it a try at my auto night class and see how the project turns out.
How’d it go?
I got quoted $650 to do this. You’re a lifesaver man tysm.
You are very welcome!
Hi, I have an 01 pathfinder. My dome light stays on and theres a clicking sound and it keeps clicking and the dome light turns on and off. And even when your driving it. It does anyway. And the doors unlock they wont stay locked. Can the actuator be the problem for both doors or just one.
Thanks for the video. Saved me a lot of money by doing it myself. If ever in buffalo, n.y. Theres a cold one waiting for you.
Thanks for the Offer.. May take you up on that!! Thanks for watching!
If I need to just replace the long handle part to the outside door handle of a 2010 Nissan Maxima do I need to take the window out & etc? Thanks so much for all the informative videos, they surely help out ALOT
For the Drivers door you have to take this all apart. Same with the passenger front. The only door you don't have to take all apart for the outside handles are the rear doors. Thanks for watching!
A true master at his craft !
Thank you for the kind words
Great video thanks! It’s clear, concise. Great help to fix the handle cable of my wife beloved G37x 2009
Hello friend! What if I have central locking but the door lock is broken and I'm unable to open the door?
Please help me?
Awesome video and thanks a mil. My wife locked keys in our 2004 Nissan quest. A police officer Jimmied the door for her but now the key does not unlock the door. is this what I need to do to fix that? and where do I take it to get it fixed. General auto mechanic, autobody shop, dealer or where? Thanks so much for your help and again for the video. Were in Atlanta.
Just changed the driver's side window and wiring. Tks you so much for the video it helped a lot.
You are very welcome!
Excellent video!
I am replacing a driver's side door actuator in a 2009 Murano. I am having a little difficulty with the reassembly. I am unable to get the screw that secures the door handle and lock back into place to tighten down (8:34 on your video). The screw is accessed through the side of the door and is held in place by plastic fasteners. For reassembly, I am unable to see if the threads and the screw are lining up correctly. I was considering cutting the plastic securing the screw, so that I could remove the screw and see through the opening to line up the threaded slot and the screw. Is there a better technique?
Thanks!
I appreciate your response! As you suggested, I disassembled the door latch (took several times) and then found my misalignment error. Your video was extremely helpful (would have been lost without it!) and your timely response to my question kept me moving forward in a constructive direction. Fully reassembled and fully functional now! May GOD bless you! Thank you very much.
Thanks for this video. Someone broke into my new QX60 with a screwdriver and damaged my driver's door lock so I have to replace the entire thing now. This is going to help alot.
Is your deductible that high you wouldn't just claim it on your insurance? Considering it is a new truck.
Great video. Any idea if a 2010 Rogue is similar? The drivers lock on mine started making a whining noise when locking/unlocking that progressed to intermittent failure and now it will not unlock at all. I assume I need the actuator.
ugadawgs98 yes, it's pretty much the same layout once you have the door panel off.
Thanks !
Thank you so much for this video, I had to do both front actuators on my 2010 Nissan Rogue and while there were some differences it helped tremendously. I have one question that I’m hoping for your insight on - I have every part and plug and wire back exactly in order but the door lock/unlock buttons on the outside door handle wont work... the little black rubber buttons on the outside handle.
I’ve got everything plugged back in so I can’t figure out why. Could there be something that needs to be reset or reprogrammed or something?
Never mind, it was my mistake jostling some wires I didn’t notice, my bad!!! Thanks again for this vid, it was by far the best one I found in lots of searching!!
@@jewelie1981 You are very welcome! Thanks for watching!
Great and helpful video. A bit of a challenge! My driver's door will lock but not unlock. I have asked for a lock actuator at local parts store but they say they don't have a listing. What is the replacement part called and is it a dealer only item?
It's a Door Latch Assembly
Thabks so much! My car handle got jammed and i had to take the entire thing apart, And bc of this video we could fix it ourself.
Great video. Thank you! I will use it replace my sticking door in winter.
Nice helpful video. Question, the little black rubber button that unlocks the drivers door on my 2010 Nissan Altima doesn't work anymore. The remote FOB opens all doors, and the inside lock button works. Would you agree that the actuator is not the problem, but the little electronic button is probably faulty or even unplugged? I picked up a used handle (wrong color) and was thinking I could just switch out the rubber button switch? Thoughts, suggestions?
+Grandpa Bob I would agree the problem is the button. How ever, that button can't be swapped from handle to handle. You would need to replace that whole handle assembly. By trying to remove it you would break the water proof seal which you may not be able to reseal properly. This video shows what is involved in changing that handle.
Thanks for watching
Thank you. Used your process for my 2005 RHD skyline 350gt drivers side door, very similar.
Yes, they are all using this style now, So it would be similar. Thanks for watching
Great video! Thanks
Your welcome and Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video, used this on my 2010 Infiniti G37x and it was a breeze. Unfortunately now the rear driver side door needs the same replacement part. Is the rear door the same once you get the door panel off?
The rear door is much easier if you breezed through the front door! Thanks for watching!
Great vid bro! I have 2015 Altima with actuator problem. I can't open door to get panel off, so I think I will remove front driver seat and try to get panel off with door closed. Do you have any suggestions? I think somethings broken inside that won't allow the latch to release from inside or outside handle. You look pretty experienced and proficient at this.
From my experience, I simply put the seat all the way back and put the seat back all the way down, then undo the door panel and turn it up like a Lambo door to remove the door panel. Thanks for watching and good luck
FixyourNissan you told me the same thing for an 06 m35x. i would love to see a video of that ever being possible.
great tips, used information here for my 08 altima - thanks
Great video bro… very detailed!!
Thanks.
I feel like these parts go bad too soon on Nissans.
Thank you for watching. The more electrical parts in a car, the more things tend to fail if you ask me. Thanks again for watching
Hey man great video! On my 08 G35X the outside handle won’t open the passenger door. It was frozen and yanked by the previous owner. The inside works fine and the lock still works as well. Is there a possible culprit for the issue in the outside door handle or would it be related to the actuator? I’d love to just have to replace the handle rather than pull everything apart but if need be then oh well!
Excellent video. Excellent mechanic.
Thank you for the kind words
