Well both of mine broke off same car. I just loop something around what used to be part of my door handle and pull downward. Been doing this for over a year.. Sucks when I have to use my shoe because I forgot to bring a shoe string. =)
crawl in from the trunk i do
I have a 1997 Olds Cutlass Supreme and have been in your position several times! I have had to replace both door handles twice, and now the passenger side door is broken again. You *can* get into the car through the trunk--have someone who is small get into the trunk and push through the backseat (not sure if it's the same side in all the car, but mine pushes through on the driver's side of the backseat). I'd also recommend covering the handles during the winter months when you're not driving the car. When water and ice get behind the handles, it makes them break more quickly. In all...it's really just a terrible design on Oldsmobile's part....
Roll down the window, reach outside, and lift the door latch or lever.
It turns your 1992 car off when there is a problem, somethings broken, or it takes up to much of the battery/fuel.
how do I open a door when the handle broke and the part theat connects into the outer wall will not release?
oil on the spark plugs is generally due to broken ring or rings in the cylinder or cylinders can also lead to a blown engine
Dealer said cable is run through a steel tube. They had to cut tube to replace broken cable.
hi i have a 2001 tacoma and the 2 exterior door handles are broken what tools do i need ??
If the cable is broken and parking/emergency brake is still ON, then they are rusted in place ! - Your emergency brake system needs urgent work.
On my 1988 Cutlass Supreme the cable broke at the release point in the car. I was unable to see anything from the outside so in the passenger compartment I took the release handle apart and used a set up pliers to pull the cable and release the hood. There should be just on bolt holding the release in place, it may be covered by the carpet. If it can't be done from the inside you can also reach up from under the front bumper and find the cable where it attaches to the latch. Just pull the cable and the hood should release.
Your local dealer has tools to help you get in. Call them for help and they'll fix the broken handles as well so it will permanently fix the problem.
It isn't the easiest job, but it isn't terribly difficult either. A Haynes manual runs about $20 which you will easily make back if you use it one or two times.
