I just got a pair of actuators from Best Buy and want to put them in myself. However, I am having trouble taking off the harness from the old actuators. Anyone know of an easy way to remove it? Or could I just somehow splice into the harness to connect to the new actuator? Also, my new actuators are two wires, so which two wires would I use from the stock harness?

Thanks so very much in advance. :D
 
I've never done it but this information might help you:

Door Lock Brown/White (-) Behind Fuse Panel or 20 Pin Connector High Driver's Kick Panel
Door Unlock Brown (-)
Driver's Lock Blue/Black Driver's Kick Panel
Driver's Unlock Blue/Red Driver's Kick Panel
Passenger Unlock Blue/Red Passenger's Kick Panel

I just found that info a couple minutes before your reply but thanks for helping anyways :thumb:

I ended up splicing into the blue/black and blue/red wires since the actuators i have only have 2 wires. They worked fine a couple times but now I think I blew a fuse because the locks don't work anymore. Should I have just completly disconnected those wires from the harness? I think they're still trying to power the stock actuators so I probably overloaded the whole thing or something like that.
