Front driver side door handle not working after using a Slim Jim to open door

Hi,

Chances are the either they broke the linkage rod or caused it to come disconnected. If you look at pic 1, I circled where the linkage attached to the door. I highlighted the linkage rod I'm referring to. I suspect that rod is disconnected at one side or the other.

What needs done is to simply remove the door panel and inspect that rod. They could have broken the handle, but that is unlikely.

For door panel removal and replacement, refer to pics 2 and 3.

If by chance the handle was broken, pics 4 and 5 explain how that is done.

Let me know what you find or if you have other questions.

Take care,

Hi,

That should be attached to the door latch assembly. That is why it isn't working. There should be a lever on the latch assembly it attaches to. If you can't locate it (I can't find any good pictures) let me know.
