Door handle is there has become disconnected can the handle be reconnected if i take door panel off? Is the problem fixable for a novice
I have a 94 2dr cutlass and the same thing happend to me, now i can tell u how to fix the problam but the door has to be open to fix, so if your in the same boat i was with both door handles broke then there was only two ways i could think of to get the doors open with both handles broke, ether go threw the trunk and break the seat of break a widow witch is what i did, and once ur window is broke dont replace glass untill handles are fixed. what u do is once the door is open look on the inside behind handle and there is a black cover that has a few screws on it, remove this and u will have a perfect view of the lever assembly, i went to my local junk yard and got me two handles that were that were in good shape, and one u see how it works its a pretty easy fix
Until you get new door handles ordered just get a durable but not too thick rope to tie on the inside handle and close the door with the rope on the outside.. just pull the rope and the door should open.. you can go to a dealership to buy a new door handle, but its quite expensive.. i just got on ebay and bought a pair.. they are real easy to put on when you get them
This is a common problem with the gm models with the door handles on the side post.Should be an easy fix as long as you have a digital camera. There is a plastic cover on inside of post with three nuts holding it on remove, if the weighted piece is broke you will have to go to a junkyard and find a replacement,take a pic of it so you will know how it goes back together.If it isnt broke the rod that connects to the latch may need re-adjusted or a new retainer clip.Should be a some what easy fix.
My problem right now i turn the car on to warm up and where i was ready to leave i unlock the door and the door wouldn't open it looks like the handle just snap and that was the only door working because the other handle is broken also and my car is still on
Yes it is a little arm that hooks to the handle
I think it maybe that a novice can fix it.take of the panel or if the door has a removable panel just in the side of the door where the door latches onto the car. Many doors have an adjuster which you can adjust the door. or the stiff wire rod may have come off the door latch .

it seems i have to buy a new door, or weld handle back on.Any help, please?
I have a 1995 olds cutlass supreme and my driver's side exterior door pull down handle just stopped working. It worked perfectly right before. The weather has been very cold where I am. If someone could give me any assistance on this it would be great. I do pretty good with fixing basic things, if anyone has diagrams it would be great thanks for the help
My driver's outside door handle was not working most of the time, and now with this cold, the passenger's outside door handle "snapped" and no longer operate at all (completly loose, no spring).
I still am able to "unlock" doors and the driver's side still is connected somehow, but just not enough to open the door.
So right now, I'm unable to open any of the door (it's a 2 door supreme).
Any suggestions?
