Door Lock Motor Replacement

Specifically on a 2010 Fusion, but may apply to a number of models including 02-08 Fiesta.

With a frequent but intermittent  "Passenger Door Open" alarms, which stop the car locking, and occasionally set off the alarm, it was time to replace the motor assembly, which is where the microswitch has been interred!

Normal trauma with door trim, five point security bit to remove the lock bolts, then with a LOT of wriggle required to remove the panel carrying all the lock mechanism and electric window gubbins, you finally get access to the lock motor itself.  It is at this stage you find the sticky seal that goes between the lock motor and the door is still firmly stuck to the old lock !  And you need to scrape it off to transfer to the new lock motor - which thankfully was successful.

Moral of the story being, buy a seal before you start - compared to the price of the lock, and the aggro of getting to it, a cheap investment!
