Chrysler Repair: 00 T&C sliding door handle broken, latch handle, postal mail

Question
I cannot find a chrome replacement door lever for the right sliding door. I have found some for the driver's side sliding door. Can I use one of these (just the lever not the whole bezel) by turning it over so the bottom side is what shows? Where can i find a diagram of the door handle mechanism so i can see how to fix it? Thanks very much for your help!

Answer
Hi Ellie,
I have the '98 and '02 manuals to which one might apply to your '00. Let me look into it. You might check at a dealership parts counter to see if the handle is sold separately from the bezel and if not I suspect it may not be interchangeable or at least be fairly difficult to disassemble.
It appears that the latch handle mechanisms are mirror images but not interchangeable. However, if the handle is separable from the rest of the mechanism it might be or if the dealer part drawing shows it as separable and the same part number on the left and the right then it would appear you could interchange the handles only. If you get a 'handle' on the situation and you would like to know how to remove the handle mechanism let me know and I can send you the pages from the '02 manual by postal mail. You basically have to remove the inner door trim panel and window surround, remove a bumper and plate concealing the inner mechanism and then remove the screws that hold the handle mechanism in place.
