Unbelievable! $13 door handle from Amazon and your directions... 15 minutes later done and works! Why did I wait so long? Thank you jpulley!!! now for the bad headlights.
I just changed my girlfriend’s broken door handle using this guide. I saved so much money using this tutorial. Don’t give your money away to there dealerships! Get smart and do it yourself 💪🏿. Thanks for the tips!
Adding my voice to the chorus: THANK YOU-watched this and fixed it in under 20m. You've saved all of us thousands of dollars! Great video-everything ya need to make the fix, with no extra fluff. 🔧🔩
Also, googling around, I see that thousands and thousands of people have had this same problem. Come on, Nissan, why can't you just make that one little part out of metal?!
2013 Altima.
I was thinking the same that about that part, I'm no engineer but I don't see how they ever thought that plastic piece would ever stand up to many years of usage. It should have been metal.
I used this video (and commented) four years ago for my son’s Altima. Today, I used it again as a refresher for my other son’s Altima. I still appreciate you making this video. Thank you.
Appreciate the kind words sir.
You are the only one who pointed out the 10mm socket remover. I’ve seen 2 other videos who never mentioned it. So then you for your precise directions and beautifully produced video. You still the standard!!! Thank you!!!
Appreciate the kind words. I really need to get back to making videos. I'm constantly doing things but I never really record because I'm usually busy but I should quit being so lazy LOL.
This video is a blessing. My mechanic was going to charge me $175 to fix this problem. I bought the part at the Nissan dealership for $20 and fixed it myself. Thanks for posting.
I'll add another Thank You! Our kids broke both of the backseat, interior door handles! Your video was so helpful in swapping these out. The backseat handles are even easier but I sure couldn't have done it without your video!
I really want to say thank you, a garage wanted 200$ to repair the door lock for a 14.95 $ part I finished it in about 30 minutes.. you made it look so easy and it was. thank you again
Well two years later and your video is still helping people! Thank you soo much for this video! You gave me and my daughter an empowering moment by walking us thru how to fix this!! and saved me a ton of money I am sure. My daughter and I have never tackled something like this before so being able to do it just by watching your video, really boosted our "fix-it" yourself girl power mentalities! haha thank you again!
My drivers door handle broke 2 years ago and paid a garage mechanic $125 to fix it. After watching this video order the part from amazon $15.00 and fixed my broken passenger door handle. I couldn't figure how to unhook door light on the bottom of the panel so I turned the panel up sideways as not to damage the wiring. Very simple and so much cheaper than the dealership fee, Took about 20 minutes to complete. Thanks for the video it was a a lifesaver!!!
This was the best made, clearest instructions on the internet. Well done
Great video! Getting the wiring harness off was the hardest part of the project. Everything else was easy to take on off and off based on the video. I appreciate you showing how to re-assemble everything! So easy.
Absolutely FANTASTIC video. This took us less than 20 minutes to fix and it was exactly how you showed it. Well done and much appreciated. This cost me $18 to fix instead of whatever the shop would have charged me. THANK YOU!
Thanks a lot for this video, I just changed my handle under 30 minutes, tools put away and all. The video is very clear. I did order the $5 prying tool from Amazon, well worth it, not a mark. It took longer to find all the tools in the garage than actually changing the door handle. I didn't unplug the bottom light, I just kept the panel in place with my knee while I was swapping the handle and screwing it back on. For all women feeling intimidated by this, go for it, it's much simpler than it looks. I've never done car stuff before. I had the video next to me in the car on my ipad and followed along. The bottom of the door requires a good pull, he makes it look like it just comes out. I watched a couple of videos and it was pretty straightforward, not even one cuss word!
Good job on your repair!
Million thanks for this video instructions. Twenty dollars and twenty minutes later, I have replaced my door latch on 2013 Nissan Altima. Saved me some serious dollars by not having to go to body shop.
Thank for this awesome video. I followed step by step and changed in under 30 minutes. Love it.
Still saving people money 5 years later. Thanks so much for this tutorial! You the real MVP.
I'm no auto pro and it took me 15 minutes. Great video, right part number. Thanks buddy!
Driver's side handle just broke on my 2013 Altima. Went straight to UA-cam and found your video. I've ordered the part and it will be here on Thursday. Thanks for saving me some money!!
Bruh you a life saver. Took me about 30 minutes but I got it! Saved $200 bucks!
Crazy, one of my best childhood friends was named LeAnthony, I've never seen anyone else with that name until now. Glad I was able to help you out with your car.
DUDE! You are the Man! $23 in parts (Including a $5 door-pry kit) and 15 minutes time. My door panel was a bit different, but I figured that out! Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for your video. Followed step by step and finished job in no time. It was so easy, saved a trio to dealership. Thanks again for posting.
Just fixed my door on my own thanks to this video. Took about 30 minutes and $20 vs whatever a shop would have charged. Thanks sir!
Cannot thank you enough for this tutorial. It’s perfect and saved me a ton of time. The day mine broke I found this video, ordered the part on Amazon and regret not doing this sooner. Took me 15 minutes because this video. Thank you!!!!
Awesome video! I placed my laptop on my driver's seat and followed along step by step. Great directions! Thank you very much!
Glad to help!
Thank you so much, just fixed my door handle for less than $20. Great video!!!
Great video, very helpful to know exactly what you will find in there and what tools you need to perform the fix. Than you.
Its just happen to my car today. Your video very helpful to me. Now i have to order my new door handle
My man! Great tutorial, in and out 45 minutes! Thank youuuuuuuuu!
Thank you so much for this video! I just changed my driver’s side door handle in less than 25 minutes. Just for kicks I called the dealership to see what they would charge. Labor would have been 1-1.5 hours @ $140/hour and the part was $40. Your video saved me at least $180!
Thank you so much! When my wife said the handle was broke, I was afraid it was going to be an expensive ordeal but you video just saved my day. Very well made video, you explain and show things in great detail. Thanks man!
You made my day,I was struggling to fix it for quite a few days.
Dude, seriously, I ordered the handle on Amazon and without your video would have stumbled my way through. Hugely helpful! Thank you so much.
Brett Kaye glad this video could be of some help to you.
Perfect video. I used this to replace my door handle in about a 1/2 hour. This is the one to use.
Fixed mine today after a month or so of dealing with the broken one. Of course it would be during a time that it has been raining a lot 😬 Can't thank you enough for the great video on how to DIY!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
THANK YOU!!! I was able to replace my door handle without a problem! Wow! I am so proud of myself!
That was really helpful. I had no clue what was going on with my handle. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for taking the time to film and post this. Great video. Replacement was as easy as you described.
This video was very helpful. I was able to replace my door handle with no issues at all!
Nice!
Awesome! I barely know how to fix anything on my car but i was able to finish this in under an hour and most of that time was me figuring out how to pop off the door panel. Saved me so much money. Thanks!!!
Thanks a million! Was able to replace my broken handle in 10 minutes thanks to this video. Would have no clue whatsoever how to do this without it. Thanks again, so that's million and one! :)
Thanks for posting this. It gave me the confidence to give the replacement a try. Watching the video helped a lot. The most difficult process was putting the door panel back in place. I couldn't find a clear explanation in your video or in anyone's explaining how to get it aligned before snapping it in. I eventually raised the side of the panel closest to the rear of the car by more than six inches, and then I was able to slide the alignment pieces (near the mirror) together. For those of you who haven't completed this handle repair, take note of that. Also, the video makes it look very easy to remove the electrical plugs. Yes, they are easy to remove, but you can't just pull them apart unless you press on the small release tab. A screwdriver and pliers help a lot.
Thanks for video. My 2013 nissan Altima door handle broke twice and I am now doing the same thing in putting down window and opening from outside. So annoying. Will try to replace this weekend with your great tutorial. You've save many people hundreds of dollars. Thanks again.
Just changed both the passenger and driver side handles on my 2013 Pathfinder. Thanks to this video it was a piece of cake. When removing the wire harnesses, there are small tabs on the connectors that release them so they come out easily. Thanks for the video.
This was amazing! Totally changed the game
Thank you! I just fixed my wife's '13 Altima and it was exactly as described in the video. The part was only $20 online, and the repair only took me 15 minutes. The dealer wanted $120 to do the job.
Thanks for the video! Just replaced my door handle and it went flawlessly.
Fantastic!
Thanks. Had a passenger side door handle go out. Your video made the replacement easy. Saved me having to spend $$$ at the dealer.
Perfect demo! I went from a $200+ repair to a $12 part and 1/2 hour of my time. Thanks!!
Ahhh, the beauty of DIY...
From someone who knows zero about car repairs, thanks for an easy tutorial. I’m going to try to fix mine myself with my dads help next week.
You’re my hero. Just ordered the part and gonna try this out next week. I’ll report back. But seriously, thanks for putting this up. If you’re ever down in Mississippi, I owe you a steak dinner or something. You’re saving a lot of people money. 🤜🤛
Good video. Always enjoy seeing an entire process than a "Made for youtube" type thing where a lot of the process is cut out. Im going to replace one of these today, so this was very helpful. Thank you!
Saved at least $300 with the video. Got the $20 part at the dealership.. and it took me 35 minutes! Thanks so much for an easy to follow video. My recommendation: buy a $15 plastic shim kit at an auto part store, made the panel removal a lot easier and worry free.
Thank you very much, saved a bunch of $$ and was able to take care of this on my lunch break from work with time to eat to spare. 20 min job.
Great video, finished it in '0' degree weather. $15.00 part amd $5.00 prying set. You are a life saver.
YES! The best video for this problem ever. Thank you!
Thanks for taking the time to create the video. Well filmed and explained. Please keep doing this, it really helps.
Dude took me 20 minutes including finding the right parts and cleanup. Thanks so much for the video even though I’ve never tackled something like this before. Saved me AT LEAST 💯 I am guessing.
Thank u! I have replaced my driver side twice. Much love to post this!
Thank you for this video. Made the job relatively easy compared to trying to figure it out as you go along. (Dealer wanted $150 to do it.) P.S. You don't really need to unclip the white connector to the power mirrors.
I've rolled my window down to open my door for a year now..I'm going to follow this one to repair this weekend...thank you...it doesn't look to difficult..
Great video - saved me lots of time and money - watched video one time and was able to fix my car in less than 30 minutes - great job!
The dealership quoted me 350 so may whatever deity you believe in bless you. If you do not have a deity I wish you health, wealth and happiness. Thank you!
350 is not outrageous but it broke a week after I bought it so I really don't want to give them anything more. For anyone in Nashville that's curious I bought the car from Action Nissan. The first car other than a Ford I've bought since the nineties. My granddad is rolling in his grave with laughter saying I told him they were flimsy.
Thanks again for the video and enabling comments so I could get that irritation out
Thanks for the health, wealth and happiness wishes! Seems like these door handles are pretty fragile a lot of people are saying it broke on them.
Could not thank you enough for posting this! Had the same problem and fixed it with no problem! Would have cost me $450 at a mechanic shop.
Of course this handle had to break while it was raining, so I had to open window, pull door handle on outside and then close window again. After seeing how easy it is to fix, I'm not going to wait as long as you did to fix it. Best thing is you give the part number. You're awesome dude!
HELP! I did install the door handle with ease as per your instructions. When I was done there was a spring on the ground thaqt wasn't there before I started. Any idea where there's a spring in the door? I can send a picture. Any help is always appreciated and please and thank you is always implied! you can email me at joesaverino@gmail.com
Dude, thank you so much for this video. I just bought the part for 20 bucks and it only took me less than a half an hour to do this with a butter knife and a 10 mm screw driver. Can I believe Sharpe was going to charge me over $200 and say that this is going to be one and a half hours labor
Thank you so much for this video! Saved me time and money! Step by step was perfect 👌🏾
Thanks man , very helpful video hope you post some more videos like this 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks for this, just bought the parts to do the repair. Happened this morning getting ready to go to work and was expecting to have to pay a lot for someone else to fix it. You saved my day!
I had this exact problem and you helped me fix this thank you! We were originally going to take it to a mechanic which would’ve costed so much more so I can’t explain enough how helpful this was
Just used this video and the links in the bio to fix my driver door! Easy to follow video. Thanks!!
Thanks for using the affiliate links!
Thank you for this video! I was able to change my handle out with your step by step guidance, in less than 30 min. Great job!!
Great video very helpful many thanks for sharing! Nissan needs to use better quality parts, I have replaced both driver and passenger handles on a relatively new car.
Thanks for the video. Replaced the handle on my son’s Altima this morning. I appreciate your efforts to help others!
Thank you so much for this! Was able to fix my door with no problems.
Glad this video was a help to you.
Wow THANK YOU for this video. Such an easy thing to do with this tutorial and knowing where to start makes all the difference. Much appreciated.
Worked like a charm. I didn't bother removing that last harness for mirror however. I was able to do everything with it still attached. Took less than 15 minutes.
This was way to easy. Thanks for taking the time to put this video together. My only issue was getting off the tiny cover behind the door handle. I had to bend a paper clip like an L and pull it out after using a small screw driver to create a gap. You da' man!
+Doug Gardner Thanks for the positive feedback.
concise and very clear.. Thank you so much for making this video..
Excellent video. My son has the car & issue so I plan to fix it with the guidance of your video. I appreciate you posting it.
Thank you thank you so much. Just ordered the part and I’m going to try it this weekend even though I don’t have all those tools but I guess I’m gonna spend an extra 10 bucks on the door panel remover crap and borrow some tools from a friend. Wish me luck. I’ve been driving around with this broken latch for about a year now. I’ll bet you I will still end up rolling down my window to open my door until I get used to it.
Very helpful video having issues with my wife’s Pathfinder . The whole car is falling apart. Thank you & Ty Nissan for the lemon.
We have a 2014 Pathfinder and its also falling apart! It is crazy.
REALLY?! I have a 2013 Pathfinder & this is my only problem so far....although it's both front door handles, quite irritating! What else have you had problems with?!
@@pennypokey I have a 2005 and my husband a 2011. My main problem is always the doors. sometimes if I have child lock on, it blocks the door and won't open inside or outside. I think all of my handles have broken. I just finished changing driver´s one. Other than that, no problems whatsoever.
This is a great video, just saved me so much money!!
Thank you so much for this video! Wonderful detailed instructions.
Thanks bro! Took me bout 30 min. You saved me unnecessary $ spent with simple and easy instructions
Great video brother. Thank you. Made my project so much easier!
A+++. Great video. Got part for less than $10 including shipping. Thanks a lot.
Thank you so much for making this tutorial video, jpulley! You saved me some considerable money!
Thank you so much Man! Your video has great detail. It was very helpful and I was able to fix my car.
I feel more comfortable in doing this now. Thank you for posting this.
jpulley. Thanks a million for this awesome video. I had to laugh cuz I've been driving around a couple months doing the same thing with the window up and down to get in and out of the car. Excellent detailed video. Clear, concise, and you just saved me $185 from paying Nissan. Not normally willing to do these types of jobs myself, but definitely not willing to part with that kind of cash either. Thanks again!
Craig Oo thanks for the kind words, I really appreciate it.
Excellent explanation and appropriate use of the "fast-forward" feature. Very thorough. Thank you jpulley!!!!
Appreciate the positive feedback.
Total life saver. If I can reach out to you, would give you a big hug.
Dude you just saved me a bunch of money on my car insurance! .. nm but you did save me a ton of green doing this repair myself. Thanks!!!!!
Thanks!!! Saved a lot of money!!!
Thank you so much! Your instructions were so easy to follow and saved me from having to drop a couple hundred at the dealership!
This exact handle just broke on our 2013 Altima today. Thank you for this video and the link to the parts!
Thanks to your video I was able to change out my door handle. Thank you 😊
WOW! I think you saved me over $200! I am NOT a DIY guy at all but this repair cost me a total of $35.00!
$25.00 part
$10.00 pry tool
1 UA-cam Video (Yours!)
16 minutes time total including replacing panel and putting away tools.
Just wanna day god bless you for making this video this detailed because i’ve been anxious on getting it fixed or doing it myself. Didn’t think it’d be pretty simple
We’re, this video was PERFECT. Followed out every step of the way. Saved me a trip to the shop and quite a bit of money. Subscribed!
Thanks for the sub, glad it helped you out.
