How do I swap locks from one door to another?

[fjman]

I replaced my hatch door with a good rust free one (Thanks Cam and John) and now I need to figure out how to get the old lock in the new liftgate. I'm not seeing how the old one comes out! (And yes, I took the access doors off the inside!).. How does it disconnect. I don't see screws or anything or what is holding it in place. This is probably a "Oh, I'm stupid" sorta question...

There is a C clip on the inside of the door. pull the clip and pop off the wire arm that runs to the lock..Swap and repeat the process in reverse

Here is a breakdown from SOR on the "Rear Door Latch". Hope this might explain some things so you can figure it out.

Yeah like he said - I couldn't explain it. Had to take a MUD break from studying for finals.
