Has anyone had a sticky outside door handle, '99 Silverado. When you open the door the handle stays out. I have to manually push the handle back to home position so the dome light won't stay on. Before I take off the door panel and look what's going on, has anyone repaired this problem? If so, do I just need to get a new handle assembly or is a simple fix (lube, spring)?

Thanks

the one on my passenger's side was doing that, I was thinking about squirting some wd40 or liquid wrench in there

I would try what BlenderWizard suggested. At least that is what i would try first before tearing the door apart anyhow. Some people might say to not use WD-40 because it will attracxt more dirt afterwards so might i suggest some graphite or some other lube that will not attract dust to it. I have seen a guy once use powdered graphite and mix it with some rubbing alcohol so that you could spray it and it would get into all the little nooks and crannies then the alcohol would evaporate leaving just the graphite behind. Just a thought.

Graphite powder is another suggestion. Supposedly better than WD40 or silicon.

Thanks for the suggestions.

The door removal takes 15 minutes tops. Why not find out what is rubing?

mchristo63

Yeah, I have had it off before to replace a regulator last year. Best I look before just spraying crap into the door handle.

The spray won't work.....You have to buy a new handle....30-40 bucks....

mchristo63

Is that just a handle or is it an assembly?

silveradoking

the whole assembly....very easy to change....
