My car is a gxl which had power locks. I swapped doors from a gtus ( much lighter ) and there are now no power locks. Is it possible to pull the mechanism and wiring from my old door and put it In this one?

Bump*** still need help with this.
not sure whether or not to try to remove the latch mechanism along with the rods and handle/lock or if I should just purchase aftermarket universal lock motors.

Just use the universal ones from DEI.

Super easy to use on our cars. They are much stronger than the factory weakling actuators anyway.

I use them in my vert. They work well.

Super easy to install. Used 2 back straps, and had minimal bending of the aftermarket actuator rod to make it work smooth.

I work in the 12v industry, and the FC is one of the easiest cars to do actuators on.
