Toyota Repair: Toyota inside door handle replacement, toyota camry, marker light


Question
1996 LE Toyota Camry, 4 door sedan
How to replace the inside door handle on the driver's side? Would appreciate your help as the dealership wants $42 for the part and $120 for labor. Thanks!

Answer
The inside door panel has to be removed, pry the inside door handle bezel off, if there is a screw in the center, remove it, remove the screws under the plastic covers in the armrest and remove the red marker light there may be a screw underneath, remove the two plastic covers towards the front of the door panel, there are screws under there, the window and door lock main switch pops out, insert a screwdrive in the front there is a spring clip that has to be depressed to remove it, once the panel is off you can remove the linkages from it and remove the handle.
