Door handle doesn't work?
Im having a bit of a problem with the drivers side door handle.
Pulling it from the outside when unlocked doesn't seem to do anything. Is there a linkage in there thats prone to slipping off or breaking?
I have another door handle id prefer to use but the locks are different on each. While im in there, id like to swap the old one out. How difficult is it to replace the locks?
Thanks in advance!

if you have another door handle just take it and a key that fits the original, and a locksmith can rekey the door handle to accept the original key ...
thats what i had to do ...
and yes it CAN be a pain in the *** ... we had to slip my window out of the track and pull it up for complete access, as we just couldnt reach the back nut/bolt

As for the lock, also a piece of cake to do, you can either use your existing lock in the replacement handle or re-key the one in the replacement handle using the following procedure. Just ask if I have left anything out.

meh too late to edit
IIRC when you roll the window all the way up (not down) the bottom of the glass has a pertty notch in it so you can access the handle mount bolts without removing the glass.
