The matal cover over it is removeable, I think the bolts (from memory) are on the inner side of the door above and below the mechanism bolts though, then you have to detach the rod that goes to the handle itself from the mechanism, and undo the bolts for the mechanism itself. ![]() Edit - remembered you can't access it with the door shut ![]() |

hey ok update i managed to smash the hell out the white box till it opend so i could acces the little lifting thing...WHICH OPENED THE DOOR ![]() so i then removed all the old mecanism and noticed the spring bit was snapped so replaced the whole thing with another from my donor fiesta ghia but on the ghia's motor it has a six pin electrical connector and a si has a 4 pin connector so i swapped the motors over....then i fitted it and closed the door it worked the door opend and closed no problem with both handles BUT as soon as i lockd the door via the inside(pusing the handle inwards) it wouldnt open again....wots going on any ideas ![]() |

may sound silly but make sure the battery has enough power, i had a headache off mine which was resolved when i zapped some power into it for a couple of hours, also check the metal rods are connected correctly, last thing, check the lock itself on the side of the door, ive had major issues with my drivers door which was solved when i changed the gold coloured locking mechanism |
