Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD Forum : “Outside door handle not operating correctly”
Outside door handle not operating correctly
I replaced the window glass in the drivers side door and in the process, loosened the latch mechanism for the door. After putting it all together again, I realized I had pulled the rod from the outside handle out of the latch, and it was no longer connected. So...I took it all apart again, got the rod back into the top of the mechanism where I thought it should go (mainly by feel, as you can't see in there). Now it unlatches the door to the midway point...that is is opens about the 1/2 inch, and is still latched. Any idea where I went wrong on this (other than loosening the latch in the first place :-) and how to get it right ?
Yes, I had this problem before, you just need to reattach it to the correct part of the plastic mechanism and you should be fine. It's a pain trying to get in
to it and I never did fix the one on my '89 Buick.
