98 Accord Door Handle, Won't Operate the Door

    Hi All,

    Yesterday my rear passenger door handle ceased to operate the opening
    mechanism. The handle is intact on the outside, just feels like it is
    disconnected from whatever it usually connects to, like a pin slipped
    out or something.

    Can anyone help with the approach to fix this (other than take it to
    the dealer). Is this a common/simple thing to fix?

    Thanks
    Tom

    If somebody flipped the 'Child Saftey Lock'before they closed the door,
    the answer is in your owner's manual. If not, somebody else around here
    will surely have the answer. :)

    If it's like my 97 Accord, then a small plastic clip which links
    the handle to the latch bar has come off. If you remove the
    door panel it's fairly obvious which bit is detached. To be
    fair to my dealership, they sorted this for me at the same time
    as a service without charging me.

    HTH,
    Al

    I took a look inside at the door handle that would not work. There is
    a broken plastic lever in there right on the door handle itself.

    Off to the dealer ;-(
