Here is the door lock diagrams , the inside door cover will have to come off to access both areas.

Door cover comes off in about 5 minutes... 4 torks head screws (one under the small reflector), don't forget to pop the trim ring off from the super tweeter at the door pull, then using trim panel pry-bars, just pop the card loose starting from the bottom rolling it loose from the top and lifting it out from the window seat.

Then it is just a matter of reaching into the tight space of the inner door.

Motor on!
