2002 Sebring sedan door handle prob
Hi all,
My wife just informed me her inside drivers side door handle wasn't working. I went out, pulled it and it just out (loose and limp) without opening the door. Any suggestions on how to start on this one? Many thanks. |
Remove the door trim panel. There's supposed to be a link that connects the inside handle to the latch mechanism. That probably got disconnected somehow. There's a little clip that is supposed to keep the parts together. If it's broken or missing, you'll need to replace it. Probably set you back 50¢ or so.

Thanks. I'll give it a whirl tomorrow.

Ok, no such luck on just having a linkage to handle retainer prob. The dang handle itself is broken (plastic) by the spring assembly on the handle.
Does anyone have a good idea on where to pick up a replacement at a reasonable price? Thanks. I'll attempt to post a picture. Gulp! https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...type=1&theater |
Best hope is a local junkyard. Failing that, scour eBay. Search for Sebring parts and see if you can find somebody parting out a car. He may not advertise the door handle but is probably more than willing to sell you the handle if he's got one. Maybe you can luck out and find a set of chrome (metal) ones off a higher trimline vehicle.
If all else fails, go to chryslerparts.net and pay the (slightly) discounted dealer price. When searching the salvage market, keep in mind that a Dodge Stratus part should fit. Coupe parts won't. |
Thanks dcotter. I just called my local dealer and they quoted me $107.00 which is the entire bezel/handle assy. Sounds reasonable and since they asked me for my VIN number, I feel confident it's the correct one.

Thanks for the help. Piece of cake 45 minute job. I ended up purchasing a new interior handle/bezel assy from my local Chrysler dealer. It took two days to arrive after they ordered it from Denver. Was quoted $107.00 however they (for some reason) gave me a 20% discount and with my $10 off any purchase card they gave me last time, it was $81.00 out the door! Can't beat that.
