2006 Chevrolet Equinox Door Latch Assembly

You can remove the front door window regulator module and the outside handle bracket. Then you can disconnect the lock cylinder rod, the latch electrical connector, the latch arm, and the inside handle rock and lock button and you can remove the latch from the latch arm.

You can install the latch to the latch arm and connect the inside handle rod and lock button rod, the latch arm, the latch electrical connector, and the lock cylinder rod. Then you can install the outside handle bracket, connect the outside handle rod to the latch and install the front door window regulator module.

You can verify the striker properly engages the latch and that no obstructions are preventing the door from closing, allow the latch to completely thaw, and apply compressed air for two seconds to the latch to force out any moisture. You can refer to the above illustration (slashed area) for the location. Spray General Motors (GM) Super Lube(R) on BOTH sides of the latch detent lever for approximately two to three seconds.
