Condition
Some customer may comment that the door will not open from the inside or there is a clicking noise when the door is opened. The noise seems to come from the door handle.
Cause
This condition may be caused because the cable barrel end to the door handle may not be seated properly, or the cable housing may not be properly seated.
Correction
Remove the door trim and inspect the handle. If the cable barrel is not seated in the handle, apply pressure to the cable to lock it in. If the handle is inoperative, replace the handle following the procedure below.
1. Place the door trim in your lap and with your thumbs on the back side of the handle, twist the top of the panel downward. This will cause the handle the come out the front.
2. Remove the glue with an Exacto blade.
Important:
It is not necessary to glue the top of the handle to the trim panel. It is done at the plant for shipping purposes only.
3. Install the handle in the door trim panel. Apply some pressure and it will snap in place.
4. Install the door trim panel.
