The interior door handle on the driver's side of my 2000 Tundra does not open the door. The exterior door handle works fine. I would assume the cable has broken on the door latch portion. What is the easiest way to replace the cable. I have power windows and locks. Thanks! Len Hirschi

Parts are available at a salvage yard. Getting the door open is going to be your problem "unless" you pull the seat out and have room to take door panel off to open the door with the mechanism manually.

Hope this helps.

There are plastic clips that hold the rods in place - one for the rod that goes to the exterior handle and another that goes to the exterior lock. You need to snap the plastic clips around so they release and then the rods will pull right out.

remove the door panel, i believe the handle uses a cable on the link... simple fix

the only way to fix handle is to replace it.not to difficult.

Hi it could be as simple as the the bar coming from the interior handle to the door latch has come off or broken, Remove the the door card and check all is hooked up as it should be, Hope this helps

you can do this. you have to remove inside trim panel for access. if you still need to do, I will send you repair steps. let me know

you will have to take the panel off to see why the inner lock/activator isnt working properly, besides youll have to take it off to fix it anyway.Maybe as simple as a bent handle to lock rod being bent and no longer long enough to activate lock correctly.youll just have to look and see.Let me know what you find
