Outside handle won't unlock door...

[Grec]

Well, I started off with a lock that didn't work and now I have a handle that won't open the door.

Ugh.

In the process of fixing the lock, I snapped the little plastic connector that holds the actuating rod to the little arm on the back of the outer door handle.

I'm REALLY hoping that this small plastic piece is easy and cheap to come by...

Anyone have any suggestions as to where to look?

I'm thinking that this has to be a part that was used on many different Chryslers in many different years.

P.S. The lock works now. :-)

Glad you got the lock to work!  I'm sure someone will know where to get the clip!

Right on. That's gotta be it.

Many thanks.

I'm gonna order extras. :-)


P.S. This site kicks a**. You guys are really helping in my transition to an E-Body from my beloved Z Car.

By the way, the Help! section at Kragen had the piece. It was backwards from OEM, meaning it was alot harder to get it to clip on than it should have been, but $5(!!!) and a bit of fiddling later and I'm all straightened out. Now my lock AND my door handle work.

(in Homer Simpson voice) Woo Hoo!
