Hi, I'm Mike Green. I'm one of the owners of 1A Auto. I want to help you save time and money repairing or maintaining your vehicle. I'm going to use my 20-plus years experience restoring and repairing cars and trucks like this to show you the correct way to install parts from 1AAuto.com. The right parts installed correctly: that's going to save you time and money. Thank you and enjoy the video.
In this video, we're going to show you how to replace the outside door handle on this 2004 Dodge Ram, same for any '02 to '08 1500 and then '02 to '09 2500 and 3500. Tools you'll need to do this job are a T40 Torx driver, Phillips screwdriver, flat blade screwdriver, a 10 millimeter wrench or socket and ratchet and 8 millimeter or socket and ratchet and a T25 Torx driver. That's only for removing and replacing the lock on the driver side door.
To remove your front door panel, you're going to start by removing a T40 Torx screw that holds your handle on, right there. Then you're going to remove four Phillips screws: one there, one up here and then two down the lower part of your door panel. Here's my T40 Torx driver. We're going to speed it up here, take that T40 screw out and then your handle comes off. Then, I'm going to start with the Phillips screwdriver. Take those two off and then slyly take my jacket off so you can see my 1A Auto sweatshirt and remove the two lower Phillips screws. I'll use a regular screwdriver, carefully pry up on your switch plate here then pull it up. Both these connectors have a little button right here. Press the button and work the connector off the switch. Do the same thing here for the button right there. Now, just lift the door panel up and over the lock here. It comes off.
You want to use the 10 millimeter wrench or socket and ratchet. There's a bolt here. There's also a bolt there but it's missing. I'm not sure if this door may have been taken apart before. Then, there's a little clip, right here, that you either push down with your hand or pull it down and then you pull this one right out. Then, you want to carefully pull your water shield down.
To get to the door handle, make sure your window's all the way up. First, we're going to remove the two 8 millimeter nuts. We'll use a little fast forward to go through that. Now, you basically want to get in here. With your thumb, you can push that right off and then pull your rod out. What we're going to do is, see that pink clip in there? We're going to reach around with our finger to the back side and pull that clip off. What you're basically going to see is a good shot of my shoulder. Pull the pink clip in there with your finger. It comes off. Then pull the rod out by pulling it towards the inside of the door. The lock rod comes out. Now for your handle, you're going to bring it off here first, slide it forward a little bit and then it comes out. It just got hung up on the rod a little bit.
Now, you're going to want to change your lock mechanism over. It's a T25 Torx screw. Remove the screw. The lock comes right out. Here's a new handle from 1A Auto. You can see it's just the same as the original. Put the lock in. Put the screw in. Tighten it up. You'd want to tip your handle up and insert the rod for your handle itself and then the lock, the blue lock on there, or the clear lock if it's a new handle, then put the handle in. You'll need to pull the handle a little bit. Get the back in place. Slide it back a little bit and on. Flip that lock on to it. I'll put my 8 millimeter screws and nuts back on. Again, we'll use a little fast forward as we just put those nuts on by hand, and then, use our wrench or you can use a socket and ratchet to tighten them up.
Once the handle is tight, then we just put the water shield back in place. Put our inside door handle back on and tighten the nuts for that. Then, you want to insert the rod and lock the clip on. Before you put the door panel back on, you want to take this lock bezel and push the clips in and pop it off. It has little teeth there. It just has little teeth there that hold it in. You're just going to push them with your finger over. Put it back on. What you want to do is . there's teeth at the bottom . kind of rest it like that and bring it up. Pull your harness up, out of the way. Lock your door. Press your door, lock it down. Take that up and over, pull it back up. You might have to pull it up just a little bit and slide it down. We've got to put the four Phillips screws back in. We'll fast forward through just putting those four Phillips screws in and tightening them up. For your switch, put the smaller connector in then the larger connector. You feed the wiring down in. Push it down in. For our door handle, I'm just going to put my extension and my bit in into place. Then you pretty much start turning. It pretty much finds its own way. Then for your lock, push that right down and you're all set

Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you how to replace a front door handle on this 2005 Dodge Durango. Pretty much the same for any 2004 to 2009 Durango. We show you the front left hand or the front drivers side, which is basically the same procedure as the front passenger side as well. Tools you'll need for the job include a replacement door handle from 1A Auto.com, small flat blade screwdriver, a Phillips screwdriver, and an 8 millimeter wrench or a socket with ratchet.
Take a small screwdriver and kind of push towards the front to pry up on your panel here. That comes up and out and, then front slides out, and then there is three connectors. They just have little tabs. You push with your thumb, pull up and out. Now, in behind here, door handle, just pry out this little cover here with a small screwdriver. There is a Phillips screw there, as well as a Phillips screw, under there, and one further back there. I'll just fast-forward here. I'm just using a Phillips screwdriver and removing those three screws I just showed you. Once those screws are off, just lift up on the panel and then start pulling it out. You'll see a little blue clip back here. Pull that blue clip back off the rod, then pull the rod up and remove your door. Carefully pull this water shield off.
To remove your door handle, look right in here and you'll see two clips, a blue and orange one. The blue one, push it straight back and then remove that rod. Same thing with the orange one. Push it back towards the back of the door and pull that rod out. Then, there are two bolts: one here and one there. Two nuts are 8 millimeter. Just got to reach right in with an 8 millimeter socket with ratchet. A wrench would work as well. Okay, once those screws are out, we'll pull out on the door handle, pull it forward, and right out.
Here's my old handle, new handle from 1A Auto. You do just need to switch the lock over. T20 Torx driver. Take this screw right out. Lock comes out. Into the new one. Fit right in. Put your handle in, pull it out back from there. Pull it out, put it in, make sure the back goes all the way in, slide it back, then get the studs in. Keep pushing it back as you push it in. The door, put your two 8 millimeter nuts back on.
Make sure your rods are free. They didn't get bound up when you were putting the handle on. Tighten up these two nuts. I'll come back in here, make sure this clip is kind of down, push that rod in, and then take this rod here, put it in place, and clip that rod on. For this one, what you want to do is pull your handle out, then reach in there and clip that rod. Pull the handle out, reach in there, grab that clip, clip it on. Make sure unlocked.
Make sure you put your water shield back up in place. To put this panel back on, make sure your harnesses goes in through there. Pull this rod out, put it into that blue clip, and lock the clip on. Now, make sure your door lock goes through there. You can look back in here and see where all the hooks are. Just make sure that the front and rear are going flush to the door. Just going to make sure all the hooks are on correctly. Slide it down. Oops, never realized that this came out. Try to lock this on there. Everything should be nice and tight around the edges. Here, I'm going to speed it up again as I just reinstall the three screws the two at the bottom and the one in behind the door handle. Those three screws hold the door handle down in place. Slide this down, the front end first. This can be a little bit of a pain. Just put this little trim back on.

Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video we're going to show you how to remove and reinstall the exterior driver's door handle on this 2008 Dodge Ram 1500. This information is going to be similar for the other door handles on the vehicle. Be sure that the window is rolled up before starting this repair. Here are the items you'll need: New door handle from 1AAuto.com, 8-10mm sockets, ratchet and extension, flat blade screwdriver, #2 and #3 Phillips screwdriver, T-25 Torx driver.
Remove the 10mm bolt in the inside edge of the door handle. Remove the door handle from the opening. Remove the #3 Phillips behind the door handle, and in this top corner, two #2 Phillips on the bottom of the panel. Lift up on the door panel to release. Then we'll have to disconnect the two connectors from the window switch. Peel back the weather coating on the inside of the door panel.
Remove the white and blue clips from the latch rods at the back of the door handle. These simply press off and rotate out of the way so you're able to remove the hooks. Remove these two 8mm nuts with a socket ratchet and extension. We'll hold the back of the handle so we can open it. Work the exterior door handle from the door.
Here we have our old door handle that we removed from our 2008 Dodge Ram 1500, and our new door handle from 1AAuto.com. As you can see, these parts are exactly the same, with the exception of our old part still having the lock cylinder installed in it.
One screw changes that over into our new one. A lot of the time these clips can break and keep the latch rod from staying in place. The spring can break and keep the handle from returning to its normal position, as well as the actual plastic of the door handle breaking. So if any of these symptoms are making it difficult to get in and out of your vehicle, this new door handle from 1AAuto.com is going to go, direct fit just like your original equipment and fix you up right.
Change over the lock cylinder from our old door handle to our new one. We'll remove this T25 Torx screw with the Torx bit and a ratchet. Slide the lock cylinder out and into our replacement door handle. Reinstall the screw.
Now it's ready to be reinstalled into our truck. Pull out on the door handle so it will drop this latch down. Install it into the door and reinstall the two 10mm nuts. Reinstall the latch rods into the hole, and lock the clips back into place. It may help to use a small flat blade screwdriver for the blue clip. Re-adhere the weather cover.
Pop off the door lock bezel by pushing from the back. Reinstall your two window switch connectors. Line up the tabs in the door panel. Slide your door panel into place. Pop the door lock bezel back into place. Reinstall your four door panel screws. Hold your screw in place for the interior handle. Line it up and tighten it down.
Thanks for tuning in. We hope this video helped you out. Next time you need parts for your car, please visit 1AAuto.com. Also check out our other helpful how-to and diagnosis videos.

Hi, I'm Don from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video we're going to show you how to remove and reinstall a rear door handle, the outside door handle, on this 2005 Dodge Durango, much the same for any 2000 Ford, '09 Durango, as well as the procedure's the same for the Aspen. Tools you'll need are a small flat blade screwdriver, a Phillips screwdriver, and an 8mm wrench or socket and ratchet.
First there's a little trapdoor in here. Use a small flat blade screwdriver to go in and pry it out. You have a Phillips screw there, as well as one down here and one further back. I'm going to speed it up here as I use a Phillips screwdriver to remove those three screws. Once you have those screws out, lift up and pull out on the panel. Back in here you'll see a little blue clip. Pull that blue clip off. Pull that up and out, and then your connector for your window switch is right here. Press on the little tab. Now just pull the panel off.
Pull your water shield down enough so you can access the upper inside of the door. There's your door handle right there. See there's a little green clip here. Use your thumb and pull that clip off and pull this rod right out. Now you have two 8mm nuts there and there. You'll need an 8 mm wrench or a socket and ratchet to get these nuts loosened up and they come right off. The handle comes right out.
On your new 1A Auto handle, you would want to switch this rod over. Just unclip it and pull it out. My handle is in good shape so I'm going to put the original one back on as if this is the new one from 1A Auto. Clip it back on and put it back down in. You may have to pull on your handle just a little bit to get it back up in. Restart your 8mm nuts putting them on by hand at first. You can actually see that one right down through this hole if you have a light. Tighten them up nice and firm and about another quarter of a turn and tighten them. Reach in and get the lock rod in place and then snap the clip on. Now put your water shield back up in place. Make sure that the door lock knob is upright, the door latch rod comes through, as well as the harnesses if you took it off that far.
Reinstall your door panel. Put your window harness up in. Reach back there and bring this out; push it down in. Lock the clip on. If you look down there are hooks. You have all these hooks, so you look at the bottom ones to make sure you get the bottom ones in. Bring it up. Make sure the lock goes down and behind. Make sure your lock comes up through. Push the panel on. Make sure it goes in flush, and then lock it down. Now put your three screws back in. Again, we'll fast-forward through that. Three Phillips screws, tighten them up, and tighten them nice and firm don't over-tighten them, though. Put this little trapdoor back on.
