Drivers side door handle

[dwillis19]

I have a problem.

The drivers side door handle quit working. It just flaps in the wind, so to speak. I have removed the door panel. But can't really see if anything is broken or something just slipped off. There is no tension on the handle. I can't feel any sharp edges or like anything is broken. I have watched the youtube video to take the door handle off, but seems like a lot of work if I don't need too. If anyone has any suggestions or had this happen to them you would have my enternal thanks. I don't really want to spend 100.00 bucks for a door handle if I don't have too.

Thanks

it's only like 3 bolts to remove the door handle....not that bad especially if you already have the door panel off. but check to see if the plastic clip is broken or popped off. should be right next to the back of the door handle (if you're looking in from the panel). i guess it is possible that part of the door handle broke, but usually it's the clip (at least from what i've seen)

but, if you do need to replace it.....are your handles painted or the textured? i am selling a set of textured handles for cheap.
