How can I fix the door handle on the inside of 1999 Toyota Coroll

How can I fix the door handle on the inside of my 1999 Toyota Corolla Le? I have to roll down window and open from outside to get out. The handle on inside no longer opens door.

  • asmtla May 25, 2009

    Thanks... I was able to unscrew the inside door handle itself. It turns out the clip from the handle was broken that the rod sits in. I just replaced it with the driver rear handle... The only difficulty I had was popping the end of rod back into the replaced door handle.

It's probably broken, or unhooked. Just take your inner door panel off, and you'll soon figure out what's happening. Sometimes the rods get bent, or they come off the clip, or just need adjusting. And sometimes the handle itself is broken, but you can do it!

Fixing will be obvious as you you can see what's missing. The handle you mention has a rod that connects to the lock. One side of that rod is loose.

The rear door on drivers side of 1992 Toyota Corolla is broken. my grandson tried to open the door when it was locked then it would not open using the outside handle, but would open using the inside...

Actually, I suggest going to a junk-yard to get your parts. It will be much more expensive to get at your dealership or bodyshop, plus the huge huge huge labor fee. If you want to invest a few minutes to save yourself some time, look to see what other vehicles use the same door handle yours does, (it will be a toyota).

2001 Toyota Corolla LE 4 door rear axle noise I believe

First thing I would do is to get a chassis lube job. Many places that do oil changes will also do a chassis lube for you at the same time. The axle bearings can get dry and do require lubrication. If left to long without a lube job, pits can form inside the bearing and will require replacement.

Replacing a manual door mirror on 1999 toyota corolla

On the inside trim, you can remove screws that are by the door handle, arm rest, under door and side of door and then gently pull back on the panel as there will also be retaining clips attached and you don't want to break them. You'll need to lift the door panel upwards in order to get it off the window ledge. Then you'll need to manipulate the panel and disconnect the door handle linkage from the door handle and disconnect the wiring for your controls. Then you can access the bolts that secure the mirror onto the door

1999 Toyota Corolla interior door handle

There's two screws by the handle, pull those out and you'll see how it all connects on the inside. I was able to remove my broken one, and drill a hole into the plastic where it broke and reuse it - it's lasted over 4 years now.
