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 are going to show you how to replace the front interior door handle on this 2003 Nissan Altima. It's the same part and process on the Altimas from 2002 to 2005 and the items you'll need for this are a new interior door handle from 1AAuto.com, a flat blade screwdriver and a Phillips screwdriver.
Start off by removing this screw cap right here, and underneath that, there is a Phillips screw. You want to just go ahead and remove that. Pry up the switch panel starting at the top here. Now to disconnect the harnesses from the switch panel, just push down on the tabs and pull the harness out. Now, pry out this triangular panel at the top of the door panel and remove the screw cap from behind the door handle. Now, you just want to remove these two Phillips screws. Down here is your courtesy light. It just pulls out, and you can just pull out the harness and then pull out around the door to release the clips and then the door panel just lifts up and off. Now, on the backside of the door panel, there are these two cables. They disconnect the same, pull them out, lift it up and it's free. Then you just want to push on the tab on this harness and pull it out.
On the back of the door panel there are four Phillips screws holding in your interior door handle. Just go ahead and remove those. Once those are removed, the door handle pulls right out.
On the left, is the new interior door handle from 1A Auto; on the right, is the old one. You can see they are identical, same color, same shape. They'll mount exactly the same. Put your new door handle into place and replace those four Phillips screws.
Now, to reinstall your door panel, it's pretty much just the reverse of the procedure, you just push your harness into place and slide your door handle and lock cable down into that slot, push it forward and clip it into the door panel. Push the harness through the door panel and then just line it up on the window sill and push it down into place and make sure that the harness for your courtesy light comes through and then line up the clips on the back of the door panel and just hit them into place. Reconnect your courtesy light and push it into place. Replace the two Phillips screws, the one behind the door handle and the one in the pull cup. Reconnect your switch panel. Just plug the harnesses in and push the switch panel down into place. Replace the Phillips screw in the switch panel. Now, just replace that triangular panel and you are all set.
