Good day! Is it possible to replace the vacuum system with aftermarket actuator on this vehicle.the front door locks looks a lil funny for me.I have done it on other vehicles and it was quite easy.this one looks like a mission.

Do it once,do it right - This means no short cuts. You never get paid twice for having to do the job twice because it wasn't done right the first time.

Yes but you'll also have to do the tailgate and fuel flap.
The door has a metal insert rather than a splash shield everything is behind it, window motor mech. and glass, all has to come out.
Frankly it's easier and cheaper to replace or repair the vac system.
Usually a pipe's come unstuck, mostly after bodywork, listen for the hiss.

Amateurs assume, don't test and have problems; pros test first. I am not a free install service.
Read the installation manual, do a search here or online for your vehicle wiring before posting.
