It literally just pulls out, it's only held in via clips. I had to replace mine as well

SOURCE: Broken Hyundai 2002 Accent door handles

i have a 2005 hyundai both back doors would not open from the outside . after taking the panel off i found out that the handle is completely plastic and that it had broke in half because off stress . i removed the handle ( which was a pain ) and used quick drying epoxy on the crack . then i put a thin piece if aluminum on each side of the crack and used the same epoxy to hold it on . the next day i put the handles back on ( after letting the epoxy dry ) and it has worked perfect ever since. my next recourse , if it breaks again , is go to ebay . there is a seller if you type in hyundai door handles that sells 2 after market ones for $39.99. they fit 2001 to 2005 . i hope that this helps .

SOURCE: Both outside door handles are broken on 1996 Hyundai accent

if you pull out on the window crank just a little you can see the clip get a skinny flat head and push one end of the clip it will fall on the floor so dont lose it then the crank will slide off you should be able to get it from there

I have a 2010 f150 the dome lights will not shut off ever

Dome lamps operate from door latches. Most common problem is drivers door latch switch. The switch is built into the latch assembly and is accessed by removing door panel. Try spraying WD 40 into latch assembly and opening/closing door several times to see if this corrects the problem. If a 2 door with side opening doors to rear, possible broken wiring to the swing door where it meets the body

Use a flat-bladed tool on bezel to release tabs and gently pull down to remove the roof console. Disconnect the electrical connectors. The procedure is the same regardless of which assembly (garage door opener buttons, panoramic sunroof, etc.) you have.

Door open light stays lit when all doors are closed

first, ensure that you don't have your dome light in the "on" position. THEN, check the door jamb switches that are depressed by the door being closed. you might remove them to make sure that a wire hasn't broken loose.

The door keeps saying it is open and i replaced the door sensers but its not that can you help

Hello melvin... When the light stays on it usually means a door is open or the switch on a door or liftgate/trunk is bad. If the door adjar button is seperate from the latch assembly I pull the switch from the body and jump it out. Go one by one and you will find the failed switch. If the switches check ok and the connector is jumped and the light is still on then there is an open in the wires for the door ajar switch
Here are more procedures for troubleshooting...

Possible causes are :
1. Door switches stuck in closed position. Remove the rubber cover and loosen the screw holding the door switch. Pull out switch and check if the light stays on....if light remains on, fault is not with switches.

2. Anti-theft system ECU shorted. One of the wire goes to the alarm control unit. Unplug the alarm unit, if equipped and test.

3. Shorted interior dome light. If dome light is not working in the door ajar mode, remove the dome light and unplug the connector. If indicator light does not go off, fault is not with dome light.

4. Shorted Red/White wire. This would be the most difficult to diagnose as the shorting can be anywhere between the door switches to the indicator light. If you had done any wiring repairs prior to this happening, backtrack to check if any part of the wire is exposed and grounding

Good luck...i hope this helps.

Dome lights won't turn off

Been having a problem with the dome lights on a 99 chevy blazer. Still can't figure out what the problem is. There is a dome light overide button located under the dimmer wheel. When I push the overide button in the dome light goes off, but when I open any of the doors the dome light will not come on. When the overide button is out the dome light stays on all the time and will not turn off even though every door is closed. I checked all the pushbuttons and everything tests good. Has anyone had this problem and know how to fix it?
