Thank you Bob and son. My son and I just did the driver door lock on the 2014 Sorento and this video was very helpful. Took us 3 hours. The 3 torque screws that hold the actuator in place can easily be removed with the right sized allan wrench. No need to buy a torque screw bit.
thank you so much for this video, first time i tried something like this. I would not have known how to get started without your help. The fix went very smoothly. The child lock on my Sorento was engaged, i used your method and a clothes hanger to free it, I used plenty of silicone lubricant at the site and had no scratches
PHEW Finally done it. Issue: that one little screw for the window (P3, by the way!) got stripped out (looked like Loctite was on the inside) so we had to drill it all the way out and find a replacement nut...not great but we got it done after two days. Thanks for the video!!
Thanks a lot for your video. It will be VERY helpful. I can't imagine doing this without your help. Sometimes the video is dark, however we must concentrate a little bit more, so it's good ;-) Hahaha. Great job guys. Cheers! Danny from Canada Quebec
Thank you for the Info, i am having a hard time figuring out why i can't get my module out of the door. this is the only video or information i could find that mentioned disconnecting the window screws. not even the walk thru in the kia manual tells you that. Thanks again.
Thanks for the video, I watched the other guys video, incomplete but help. I wish I saw your video first. But anyway, I fixed mine. Dealer wants to charge me $400. But you don't have to remove the door latch! I rolled the window up and used several tape to hold the window up. Then I rolled the window mechanism down and removed both bolts held by locktite.
One adder that will help__ The window edge guide should be hung from its top bolt as you are easing th e lock assembly back into place Then straighten out so the lower stud exits through the lower hole Then finalize the lock to the door frame
Awesome, that is incredible. With no garage, or auto dealer garage charging 2500 dollars, which this Billion Kia of Rapid City South Dakota is attempting to charge me, for 3 doors that were broken in to, the small piece next to the door handle, was popped off, and the key & cylinder were broken off, and they than turned the inside part to open the door, the passenger side, and right rear door were burglerized the same, the small cover next to the door handle were popped off, and the part of the door lock, was removed. This took 40 minutes to fix.
I made a deflected 'L' shaped pick out of a piece of metal (actually from a street sweeper blade). Put it inside that frame from the inside of the car and in about a minute had it open- no scratches either!
omg this is so entertaining.... I'm just preparing to do this job myself but maybe I"ll consider adding some challenge and use the tools you're using, and forget what a screw and a nut are. HAA! I jest. This is a really helpful video. Thanks guys.
The old unit is not totally broken, the reason it does not open from outside is a "broken spring" holding a white sliding blastick peice inside that compartment, replace it and the door will work fine again. No need to change the whole unit
Great video, but I replaced my door lock actuator and now the window rolls up slower and sounds like the motor is working harder, did you run into this problem? If not any advice ?
Sorry to hear that Johnny, as you may have surmised from the video, I am not an expert, but my first guess would be that maybe the window is not aligned properly in the guide which would cause friction and require more force to roll it up. Just my guess. Good luck to you!

Appreciate that man. Never buying a new Kia ever
Thank you sooooo much for filming and posting this!!! Wow, couldn’t have done it without you. Such a simple problem with a complicated part to access.
Glad to help Katie. It definitely is a pain but I’m glad to hear you were able to tackle it. Nice work!

That’s great to hear Kevin! Nice work with the child lock!
Just changed my door lock actuator on my 2011 kia sorento...This video gave me the confidence to do it myself. Thanks a lot guys!!!
Feels good doesn’t it? Right on!
Just finished replacing my rear driver side door. Followed your steps and it went smooth. Thanks for the informative video.
Hey congratulations! I’m so glad it helped!
Just finished mine. Thank you so much for posting this!
Glad to help Max!
PHEW
Finally done it.

Hey glad to hear you got it done! Be proud of yourself. A stripped P3 would have caused lesser men to give up, but not you!
Just finished replacing one on my daughters vehicle. thanks for posting the video, helped a ton!
gary berry So glad it helped you!

Thank you Danny Rossy! Yes I have learned my lesson on the lighting. Next time we will make it brighter so you don’t have to concentrate so hard. ;)
I have to tackle this for both rear doors, thanks for a great video,

Thanks for this video- it was exactly what I needed! Job done.
I’m so glad!

Sorry to hear about the burglary but I’m so thrilled my video helped you save all that money!

Timothy Ley Nice! I could not for the life of me get anything inside that gap to open the door without taking it off the hinges.
@@n1njab0b I wish I could put pics on here- it was really easy to make.
The hardest button to button. Ahhohh!
omg this is so entertaining.... I'm just preparing to do this job myself but maybe I"ll consider adding some challenge and use the tools you're using, and forget what a screw and a nut are. HAA! I jest. This is a really helpful video. Thanks guys.
Tom Martinson I know what a screw and nut are. That’s the thingy that screws into the other thingy right?
Good luck!
Thank you
I've got the same problem thanks 👍
Shoot, this seems like a huge pain in the ass! But I'm going to try it, thanks so much for the video you guys!
Yes, it is. But you can do it!

Tranks bro.
Wedge window with cardboard so you don't have to hold it, or use duct tape.
Smart
Thanks Bro…Hehehehe dragon rawr XD

Could you tell me what part I need to order for the Right Side Front Door lock. Same problem, same car 2011 Kia sorento
Mine was the back left passenger side so I’m not sure what the right side front door part would be.
Put more lighting in the subject and Zoom out so we can see what/where you are working.
Yup. Honestly I didn’t realize I could use my iPhone light until half way through recording. Still learning...
Thank you soooooo much
Glad to help!
Wheres the link to buy that part
