ok!!! anyone ELSE have this problem???
first...whenever i lock my door(driver) and unlock it...i CANT open the door(outside or inside)....somehow the lock latch on the inside DOESNT unlock all the way and i have to PLAY with it from the inside to unlock it all the way...... im USED to it now...unlock passenger, roll down window, stick my head and hands in to open driver door.......but now i have a NEW problem...SOMEHOW my door handle was really HARD to lift open....this morning..i lifted it toooooo hard and the handle BROKE off!!!!!
what can i do now??? can i just buy a new handle or do i have to replace the WHOLE thing?? and what about my lock???

 

I have the same problem except, I can open my door from the inside but I cant unlock/lock or open the door from outside. I dont know if its just the lock. i need help too.
Thanks

I broke my handle off before. You have to replace the whole thing. Your best bet is to find one used, I think mine was $200 new.

 

FD's and FC's all have the same door handle breaking problem!
It's made of aluminium and gets worn out after time!

I have a pair for sale but I need to use them as a plug for a mold before I can ship them. Let me know if you want to wait.

thanks for the replies...

Never happened to me.

 

I had my driver's exterior door handle break as well; cost me $180. Your other problems have to be something simple with the linkage.

 

Yes, the pushrod for the lock is probably rubbing up against the inside of the door, preventing it to go through the full motion it needs to allow for unlocking from the outside. Try to check the angle at which this rod is going down into the door and adjust it.

 

I believe I can get you a used Passenger handle off a right hand drive for around $125 plus shipping. Passenger door handles get very little use. Also it would the complete assembley not just the handle...Simple instalation might fix both problems at once. Let me know.
