ok well guys i'm gonna do the repairs myself. I have 2 questions. One is how do you take off the door handle. I know remove the panel and thats it. I'm guessing there are a couple nuts. Two is can i use my key for my car in the new handle.

 

Your going to need the key for the replacement lock. So if your getting the lock from the junk yard or where ever make sure they give you the key.

 

can i change it so it will work. Or can i go to dodge to get a lock that will work. Cause the lock is f'd up i dont want another key.

 

pretty sure a locksmith or the dealer can change the pins in the tumbler to match your key, just take it to them before you put it in the car.

 

are changing the lock or the handle???

 

+1 but its gona cost some money

 

N3ON WTF? Everything cost money. LOL ^^^

 

andpto: both. Alright thx guys anymore input is welcome

 

now is the time to shave the door handles and get an automatic opener,at least maybe an opener u r going to have to spend money anyways might be worth it to see what they cost,a little more money for another mod.

 

i thought bout it but if something was to fail then i don't have a backup plan. When i shaved the trunk i made a back up plan which is parachute chord.
