Remove the door panel
If the door won't open from the inside, then maybe it's due to the child safety locks. If it won't open from the outside, then maybe it's locked, or the door handle mechanism has broken, as it has on my 1998 Civic. From the inside, you might be able to remove the screw holding the handle and slide the handle set forward to remove it from the door.
On the driver's side, you have to pull open the inside door handle, then press down the automatic lock button as the handle is pulled out.
no it is not inside its on it
you need to remove the inside door panel to get access to the inside, remove the clips holding the door handle assembly and the whole thing comes off
how do I replace the inside door handle on a 1998 chevy cheyenne?
You need a special flat forked tool to remove window roller handle.
You have to:Remove the door panel.Undo the rods off of the handle.unbolt the door handle from the inside of the door.
If it's the outer handle you would need to remove the door panel, then remove the rivits that hold the handle to the outside of the car. Then remove the window track and slide it down inside of the door and unhook the rod on the handle,and now you can slide the door handle out.
I HAVE SAME PROBLEM. WHAT DO YOU DO? johnson07b@att.net THANKS, BJ
If its the cables inside you need to remove the panels and replace the cables. You can in a pinch just disconnect them from the handle. Then pull them to release the door.
My problem was the outside handle wasnt working, and the childlock was put on, and door closed. To open a door I couldn't get open from either side, I unscrewed the handle from the inside. I pulled the rod with my fingers, and it opened, then I put the rod on the one from the inside handle. I'm still figuring out how to take the panel off, or get to where the rod is on the outside handle. I cant reach far enough to put the rod back on the handle for the outside, so any help on that would be nice!~
remove inside door panel,let window all the way up and remove related linkage and unbolt handle,installation is the reverse of removal, you'll need a 10mm socket or maybe an 11mm,remove two bolts holding handle in place.
