Man, this was my first on to-do list and was unsuccessful. The new door handle will not spring back to close. Meaning, when you pull the handle to open the door, the handle actually stays pulled out instead of retracting back. I reinstalled the original back and had Toyota check it out. They said the door handle is broken. I told them that can’t be because I just tried replacing it, and same thing happened. Now they want me to pay additional $ to take a look at it again. 🤦🏻♂️ Nope!
@@trustno1449 reason I'm asking my son went to the lake for 5 hours. When he returned someone broke two of his doors handles off then busted his window. I will be replacing the door handles. Was wondering if they're like old school hooked to a steel rod on the inside, but from what I'm seeing it's all electronic now activated through the switch/plug wire now days. Always learn something new.
@@BigAlWillis I know the inside handles and lock are connected to cables. Damn that is horrible news. Yeah someone stole the catalytic converter off my honda a week ago. Bad times.
Recently, the door handles on my 2010 limited started getting stuck in the 'open' position. Do you know if there is any lubrication (if it would help at all) that can be added to these door handles when they are taken apart like in your video? TIA!
Trdsparks.com. you reuse your same key insert. You have to remove it from the old door handle and snap it into the new one. It's easy. I replaced mine because it didn't work.
It doesn't come out completely. It has something that stops it from coming out so it doesnt fall in the actual door frame. It just loosens enough to get the handle off.
I did this on my Sequoia using a drill and the screw came out too far and it fell inside the door frame, so be careful and follow the way he did it, and don't be a knucklehead like me 🤨.
