Message: <blockquote data-quote="ORVietVet" data-source="post: 21590" data-attributes="member: 9438">The 2005 Tahoe LS got dropped off at 3 today and then I took her home and came back and removed the door step sill, the kick panel cover and the side dash fuse cover. Located the ONE connector and harness that plugs in at the fuse box, right behind the cover, and then feeds down behind kick panel cover and then thru the hole where from the outside, the rubber boot/umbilical cord attaches. Disconnected and fed it all the way thru and then plugged back in for the night. I will remove hinge bolts and limiting strap bolt and lift the door straight up and off the hinge pins. Then I will be grinding off the swelled bottoms of the pins, 4 of them, use my special press tool to push the old pins out and then bolt in the new hinge pins and rehang the door and feed the wire harness back in and install the kick panel cover, step sill cover and the fuse box cover. Be aware, if you tackle this job, it is a base LS vehicle. If you are working on an LS with more options, and LT or a Z71, you could have up to 3 harnesses that feed thru that umbilical cord rubber boot.Then I will be doing the door lock actuator/latch assembly on the same door. These pics are all I did when I got back from dropping her off and spent about 30 minutes on where I am at now. You should notice the harness connector is plugged back in till in the morning.[ATTACH=full]2144[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]2145[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]2146[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]2147[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]2148[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
