I saw a few videos that went into detail removing and replacing. But this is the one part they lacked. So thank you for this video. Really appreciate it🤙🏼
Adding my praise to this video. I was struggling for a while to get the rod unclipped with no luck. Then I found your video. Pulled the plug in the door and it gave a straight shot to the screw. Took out the bracket and had the clip off in seconds. Thank you for this!!
This video saved me. I couldn't figure out how to remove the door actuator because I had one rod free but not the other so this video got me back on track and helped me complete the job!
I wanted to thank you for taking the time to create this video and thereby make my life easier. That bracket was the ticket and once it was out of the way it all made sense. Thank you again, I was working on getting that lock actuator out for 2 hours and losing my cool until I found your video!
Thanks for this video. IDK about everyone else but my alarm keeps going off on its own and I'm pretty sure this is the reason. I've been struggling to find the right Mazda Part number for this thing by just searching "Mazdaspeed 3 driver door lock actuator". I've come up with Mazda BBM4-59-310E - I'm ordering it now. Hope that helps anyone else out. Also I made the same mistake swapping the cables on my passenger door when I swapped the door speaker LOL
Thanks for watching! Glad the video helped! My alarm would go off spontaneously as well, after this it hasn't done it 🙏🏾 Thanks for posting the part # as well 👌🏾
@@GuimardJoseph I changed mine out today. That is the right part number for anyone reading the comments. Also another tip is to use an impact Phillips head screw driver for that first turn out of those 3 screws because they are so fragile. Impact screw driver and hammer for a small first turn.
Hola! So you take the bracket off first then disconnect the 2 metal rods from the actuator then take the part out? And when you put the new part in you connect the 2 metal rods to the actuator first then put the bracket, then you attach the actuator the the bracket? Thank you very much!
For some reason when I’m putting the panel back (with the 11 bolts) it doesn’t seem to sit flush like how you had it when you were putting it back, any advice?
I'd say check 3 things - that all tabs are straight and not bent. - wires/connectors are seated in a proper position, not - when putting the panel on, the top portion is sitting over the frame where the window opening is.
Brother can I just replace cable? cable for door latch snapped but latch itself is working. Why to buy the whole thing if I can just replace cable? ofc if it can be done
I honestly do not know. I never thought of that. If you can find the cable sold separately, then it could be possible, but I couldn't give you a solid answer on that, sorry.
One thing to note: The three screws on the outside door are very soft and is torque wrenched. Head can get damaged if not careful. Then DIY project may become very long and frustrating.

Hey! Yes. That's exactly what you do.
Thank you very much! This will make much easier! Have a great week!
@@jorgemacias1617 Hope it all works out for you. Glad to help 👌🏾
@MAGA Destroyer. yes it did make a huge difference, it made it way easier to remove and to install the new one! Thank you very much!
Very detailed video, You include a lot of the minor details that make a huge difference.

Why to buy the whole thing if I can just replace cable?
ofc if it can be done
if I wasn't clear, actuator is working, cable snapped
I honestly do not know. I never thought of that. If you can find the cable sold separately, then it could be possible, but I couldn't give you a solid answer on that, sorry.
@@GuimardJoseph
cables are sold on ebay
I'll take it apart to check if i can remove just the cables
Thank you!! cheers

Thanks for the tip!
I got the same problem but some times it's the divertido front and some times it's the passenger rear 🤷♂️
It's always something lol
This is just as usless missing steps
Sorry you feel that way, bud. Thanks for watching any ways 🙏🏾
