Drivers door wont open on 1993 Chevy Beretta.

SOURCE: outside sliding door handle?

Yes. It is a difficult job, but not impossible. The hardest part is actually removing the interior door handle. Here are the steps.

1. remove the interior door handle by pressing the door panel in and prying out the C-ring retainer clip
2. remove the lock slide switch bezel with 1 screw, then insert a blade on the bottom left of the slider between the slider and bezel, and release the clip, the slide the bezel toward the rear of the vehicle and pull out
3. carefully unclip the door panel around the lower edge and sides and lift the door panel UP and off
4. remove the interior lock slide switch with 2 screws
5. pull back the plastic vapor shield part way to expose the mechanism
6. there is a cable that runs from the mechanism to the exterior handle, unclip it from the door frame
7. there is a rod that drops down from the door handle to the mechanism, release the rod from the plastic clip
8. locate a large (likely black phillips) screw next to the door handle on the EDGE of the door, remove it
9. locate a 10mm screw on the inside behind the door handle, remove it
10. locate the final 10mm screw behind the handle through an access hole, remove it (careful not to let it fall inside the door)
11. the door handle will push out through the door part way- there is another C-clip securing the lock cylinder that will need to be removed, and the lock cylinder can be pushed into the door cavity
12. pull the door handle through the outside of the door skin- the door handle assembly is still attached inside the door by the latch cable- the cable can be easily removed from the handle assembly to remove it completely
13. you will likely find that the end of the door handle itself is broken off- don’t buy a new handle! Email me and I will show you my free and possibly better solution that will likely last the life of the vehicle dbonnell1972 at yahoo dot com

Ford had a problem with the door handles not working properly. They are cheap plastic. If the exterior door handle is broken, you will need to drill out the rivets that hold it in, and then get the door open and the panel off. You have to disconnect the rod going to it. Then, remove the handle. If you don't want to drill again, I suggest replacing the rivets with a bolt and nut easily obtainable at your hardware store. I've found that a M7 bolt works very well. If you are having a problem with the interior door handle, it's the same problem. Remember to check your door latch because if your exterior handle is broken, then your latch isn't working properly. I got one at Ford for about 40 bucks.

linkage on inside of door has come undone. take off inside door panel and you will find a small rod that goes to the lock mechanism where the door closes opposite the hinges. follow the handle to the door lock.the nylon bushing may have broken.they are cheap to purchase at auto part stores.
