O.K. I know how to remove the door panel but I am not sure once I get that off, how to replace the existing door lock actuator.
This fix will be for the driver's door. I have the part from Erie Vo-Vo.
Are there any pretty step by step pictures out there for this repair? I could not find any.

      Tidewater T5,

      Thanks, that link is great but is the "latch" the same thing as a "lock actuator"?

      My latch works fine. I can open and close the door with the key. It's the remote that is having the problem with opening the driver's door. I have been told by the men over at Volvospeed, that the issue is with the lock actuator.

    Pretty straightforward, the only things that really stand out are 1) have the window UP! and 2) make sure the door handle latch is loose (screws removed) so the latch can be pulled out of the way when removing and installing the actuator assembly.

    I did this last January. The Haynes manual was the best resource I found.
