Safety Considerations

• Disconnect the battery before starting, especially if the truck has electronic locks or power accessories, to avoid electrical shorts or accidental activation.
• Wear safety gloves to protect your hands from sharp metal edges inside the door panel or on the handle assembly.
• Use proper tools to avoid damaging fasteners, stripping screws, or cracking plastic trim pieces.
• Support the door panel securely when removing or reinstalling to avoid strain on wiring or clips.
• Ensure secure attachment of the actuator rod or cable to the handle and latch to avoid accidental failure during use.

Installation Instructions

• Open the door and remove the interior panel. Disconnect any electrical connectors if available.
• Locate and remove the old handle. Detach the actuating rod or cable that connects the handle to the latch.
• Install the new handle by aligning it with the cutout in the door. Feed the actuating rod or cable through and attach it to the handle’s inner lever arm.
• Bolt the handle securely using the original mounting points.
• Make sure the handle moves freely and engages the latch properly.
• Reassemble the door panel when installation is complete and reconnect the electrical components.

When to Replace?

• Handle becomes loose, wobbly, or unresponsive when pulled.
• Visible cracks, corrosion, or damage to the handle or surrounding mounting points.
• Failure to open the door from the outside, even if the interior latch still works.
• Handle doesn’t return to the resting position, indicating a broken internal spring.

Sticking or jamming of the mechanism, especially in cold or wet weather.
