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 an inside door handle on this 1998 Toyota Avalon. We show the passenger's side front. The other three doors are pretty much the same procedure. Tools you'll need are a flat blade screwdriver, Phillips screwdriver, and a 10mm socket with a ratchet extension.

Start with a flat blade screwdriver, and up here, in this corner piece, pry out lightly and then pull firmly. That comes up and off. Your inner door handle bezel, kind of pry down here. Pry out like that. Up at the top, pry out like that until that comes off. This bezel that holds your switches, go right from kind of the center, slowly work on there. You can kind of see a clip. Push on that clip, and pull that up and out. There are two connectors. They both have just little buttons. Press the button and pull the connector out. Then there are two little trim tabs here. Just pry them off or get them with your screwdriver. Pull off with your fingers. Whoops, I just dropped one of those. Another one here, pull this right out. Then on the end of your door, there's a little clip here. You push the center in and then that pulls out.

Now there are a number of Phillips screws to remove. There's two right there, one in behind where your switches were, one in that hole there, then there's a few right underneath the perimeter of your door. Speed up here as I use a Phillips screwdriver to remove those screws. On this vehicle there were eight in all: four along the bottom, two in the front, and one in behind where the switches were and then the one at the door of the armrest base. Now you can just lift the door panel up and off. Then you can reach in behind and disconnect the courtesy light. This just has a little tab on it that you press down and pull out.

To remove your inside door handle, there are two 10mm bolts on the front and one on the rear. Once you take those off there is a clip right here. Actually it's broken. You would push this clip off. It might have actually been broken already. Push that clip off, and then this comes up and out. Then there's another clip right here, same thing. Take that clip and pull it off. Pull this up and out. There's your handle out.

Reinstallation of the handle is just a reverse of that procedure. What you want to do is take this one, put it right in, and you kind of have to pull this clip over and lock it on. This one goes in. Then you have to grab the clip and pull it over. That clip's broken, so I'm just going to put it like that. Hold the handle in place and start the bolts.

Next, reinstall the door panel. First we'll reconnect our courtesy light. Now hang the door panel up on the windowsill. Make sure your harnesses come through here. I'm going to fast-forward here as I put the screws back in. The two largest screws go in behind the switch plate and under the armrest base, and then you have the two button style screws that go in the front, and then the other four screws that go along the bottom. Put this little button back in. Plug our switches back in. Put the back down in first, then press that down in and the trim bezel here. Put that on. Then these two trim buttons here, put those on. Last, but not least, the last part take this and reset it by pushing it back up through like that. Put it in place and push lock.
