Steps
- Remove the rear door panel
Release the window-switch panel and disconnect its wiring. Remove the door-panel screws, release the perimeter clips with a trim tool, lift the panel upward, and disconnect the handle cable and switch harnesses.
- Remove the inside handle
Unclip and peel back the insulation carefully so it can be reused. Disconnect the handle electrical connector, remove its retaining screws, and lift the handle assembly out of the door.
- Install the replacement handle
Position the new handle in the door and secure it with its screws. Reconnect its electrical plug and refit the insulation so it seals the access opening.
- Reinstall the panel and test
Reconnect the door-handle cable and all switch wiring, then align the panel and press its clips into place. Reinstall the screws and switch trim, and test the handle, lock, and window functions before closing the door.
