Great video, I have to replace mine too. Now I think I can tackle it, thanks. Have you replaced the steering column for the same truck 98. Mine got broken into and I would like to find out if it’s hard to replace it.
Great demonstration. I went from no way I am trying it to actually doing it. But I have a problem now that I cannot figure out. Once I finished the handle install I tested it and everything worked fine. But after about one hour I went out to the car to move it. When I got out the door handle on the inside and outside would not open the door. I tried the key fob. Nothing. Tried the key in the lock. Nothing. Completely baffled what this might be. I am certain I put the linkage back in correctly. Is it possible the remote lock out has changed something? Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
Thank you Mike! 1st, you helped me fix my door handle! OMG, so happy! I'm 73, haven't worked on cars in 25 yrs & female. Here's my story... I've been traveling & suddenly the driver, inside door handle was frozen open. I drove to the 1st Toyota dealership "in a panic" he was NO help.wanted to write it up & said it could take 1 to 3 weeks to get the part. (I LEFT). Afew days later a friend told me where to go for an honest opinion. He said "guarantee that it's a broken handle" not the spring the other guy tried to say. When I got home, ordered the part from MY mechanic & said I'd fix it...also said that if I screw up, he can fix my mistake. My mechanic is great, been with him for yrs & he has fixed MANY of my mistakes. Thank you again!
Hi Mike, I just watched your video on swapping manual crank windows to power windows and door locks in your 97 Chevy truck. I have the wire harnesses for the doors, but do you know if it's possible or how to wire the windows and locks without pulling the dashboard and switching out the complete harness? I have a 97, and I want to do the same thing with it.
You need to recommend this removal procedure of the interior for people removing and replacing the door striker for single cab Silverados of this generation
I just did my neighbors fuel pump today, you dont have to drop the tank, just move the muffler pipe with your foot when your manuvering the lid of the of the sending unit out of the tank. and thats it...dont have to go through that whole hassle....quick n easy...just jack the passenger side up from the body/chassis.. n your good..easy peasy
What’s up homie!!! I got a 95 gmc Sierra that’s a work truck but I wanna swap the 95 dash to a 97-98 dash.. I heard that the power window relays are different to make my window power… If you know if it’s possible for me to use the relay box that I currently have or I have to takeout the power relay from another 95
Does anyone know if you can send power and ground and some how get the oem switches to work without running the dash harness like could I run my own relays and wires to get the switches power to the motor or you have to do the dash harness I got everything but the dash harness to switch over on a 95-98
They sell a kit with aftermarket motors and everything, so I guess you could use the harness from that if you repin plugs or just tap both sides (power side...which comes with kit and instructions...and door side).
Hi. To do wheel alignment what detail should i wrench? Is it sleeve adjuster or its "mother" (the thing in which adjuster goes in)? If u could make video how to do a alignment it would helpfull)
Mike, you rock! Your video was a huge help. Seeing how to safely remove each of the trim pieces, and get the door off to access the handle is huge. You don't want to be pulling on things that aren't meant to be pulled on. For the handle part number, I'd recommend calling a Toyota dealer, use your VIN number to verify the part number and buy it elsewhere. I got mine from the dealer, $91 plus tax.
Add me to the grateful souls out there for your leadership here. I took on the task efficiently and effectively due to your clear and visual instructions. So appreciated to save the cost of what the dealership would have charged to first “identify” then fix the handle. I even swapped out my rear for my front as a quick bandaid fix before ordering another handle on eBay. Anyway, again, thank you.
For my daughter's 2001 Avalon i am trying to install a rear backup camera. Can you show a step by step of how you removed the rear seat so i can figure out a way to snake the wires from the rear to the front of the car?
I always appreciate the Americans who share their experiences about anything they have learnt on youtube to help people . Not like Asian or other regions in the world, they never let others know about what they learn , in another word, I can say "selfish " . Thanks agains
Seems like he took off way to much stuff like the brake calipers why?? Other videos they never removed that stuff nor any of the wiper arms seems like he took way to much stuff off imo
Excellent Job 👌 Bing bang boom it's Done ! Thanks so much I'm a Fan ! Hahaha I will have every socket ready never before on a First time project . Thanks Again
Thank you for being pretty much the only info on this light assembly. I temporarily tied it off with dental floss after it killed my battery. :) will get another. I have a 2003 explorer with 90,000 miles. Not read to give it up despite dmv offering me 1000 every 6 months or so. No!
I have the same car but sometimes if I don't close the door right the battery goes out then I need a jump soon I get a jump it turn on what can I do any advice please 2002
