My outside driver door handle broke the other day. When I pull up on the handle it just sticks there and the door doesnt open. Is this a problem with the door handle or some other mechanism inside? The inside door handle works and so do the locks. The outside lock didnt work when I bought the car, but I just used the alarm to lock and unlock the door. So do I need to buy a new door handle? How hard is it to replace one? Are any of these the type i would need?

does this mean I'll need a different key for the driver door? How much would it be to take it to a shop to do? Will I need to mess with any electrical wiring or anything for the power locks or alarm?

Hehe sorry for all the questions on such a lil issue, but it is do damn annoying having to open the driver door from the passenger side. It's also really embarrasing :(

I know what you mean! About having to get in from the other side of the car!! Everybody laughs! I went to open my door the other day and it just BROKE right off!! To me it sounds like its something on the inside like the handle jammed,stuck or something? But then again I probably dont have any clue??

yea a doorhandle broke on my car a couple months back the whole handle just broke off. lucky it was the passenger side door so i didnt have to go threw climbing across lol. But i just went to the junkyard and picked up the handle pretty cheap i think around 10 bucks got home sanded it primered and painted it black. U guys should check out local junk yards for spare parts i do it alot now
