Chrysler 2004 sebring manual, how to remove driver door panel to repair broken inside door handle

Sounds like a connector is disconnected inside the driver side door. The connector is usually located near the front of the door. Removing the door panel could be a job you do not want to attempt, but the car being a 2004 you may want to try. The wiring for the door windows and locks goes through this door.

Panels usually push on with plastic clips or screws,some screws are hidden behind push in plug covers.

The window regulator may have broken
That is more common than a failed motor

You have to remove the inner door panel,
to access the inside of the door ,to make
necassary repairs

You would need both a flat and philips head screw driver and a rag to get the job done. You would need to remove the door panel first by unscrewing it using the Philips screwdriver. Unscrew the handle as well then have it removed. You may use the flat head screwdriver with the rag at the tip to pry out the parts and the panel. Pull out the panel until it snaps off the plastic retainers. Once the panel is off remove the plastic weather guard and avoid damaging it. You should then have access to the power window motor.

The answer isn't for door locks but the procedure for removal of the panel is the same. I just removed the panel on my 2004 convertible this afternoon and followed similar instructions.

there is something jaming the handle or broken. remove door panel. check to see if or what is jamed bent or broken. easy to repair.

You'll need to 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. If needed, you can pull back the weather seal (can't reuse it, but it's not that important) and you will be able to access everything inside the door

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

First off, you'll need to be able to remove the door panel. there are plastic clips (Push in body clips) as well as a couple of screws that hold the panel on. If you do not have power windows, you'll need a tool available from most any parts store to remove the window crank handle. You can get a window crank handle off with a couple of standard screwdrivers (There is a small metal clip that locks the handle on) but this normally results in damage to the panel. When the panel swings freely away from the bottom of the door, gently slide it directly up to remove it.

Once there, you should be able to clearly see the handle assembly, look for a metal rod about 1/4 inch in diameter that is supposed to be attached to the handle assembly via a little plastic clip. if either the clip or the handle assembly is broken, the rod will disconnect and you will be yanking on a handle attached to essentially nothing.

Door rod clips are available through most auto parts stores for $4-5, handle assembly's you can sometimes get through a wrecking yard, or order from the parts store.
