Pretty easy job once you know how the door panel com.
Silverado door handle not working.
Can you see if from behind the window switches if you pull it off.
So i replaced it with one i had from previous trucks.
Inner door handle won t open on 2011 chevy silverado.
Due to bad engineering you have to replace the whole inside panel according to my gm service center i got it out of shop and two weeks later it broke again still have not fixed it because of the cost.
The outside not working is really strange.
You will need to access the inside of the door panel to have access to the locking mechanism and door latch as well as verify the condition of that linkage.
It took a little work to force it back into place but once i got it back in place everything workedd perfectly fine again.
It has been so long since i pulled the panel off i cant remember if there is a way to see the inner door handle cable without completely pulling it off.
Dads door handle broke on his 04 silverado 2500hd.
Start by removing handles and arm rests etc whatever is obviously bolted on through the door panel then use a flat blade small putty knife to slide under the door panel along the bottom edge and pop the plastic clips that fasten the panel to the door.
Inside door handle broke very easy i may say and then was told was 900 dollars to fix it.
Since the door was bow open i pulled the door panel off and left all electronics attatched.
If the door will not open then the issue may be the latch but it may also be the linkage that connects the handles to the latch.
