Dorman - HELP Exterior Door Handle P/N:77113
Replace a cracked, loose or broken outside handle with the Dorman HELP Exterior Door Handle 77493, a front left handle designed to look and function the same as the original and priced well below a dealership replacement. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1995-2000 Dodge Avenger, 1995-1999 Chrysler Sebring and 1995-1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list of applications.
The outside door handle is the grip you pull to open the door from outside. It connects to the door's latch mechanism, and pulling it releases the latch. A handle that has snapped, cracked or worked loose can make the door hard or impossible to open from outside. If a failed handle is the cause, this Dorman unit replaces it in the front left position.
What does the Dorman 77493 exterior door handle do?
It is the outside handle for the front left door. Pulling it operates the connection to the door latch, which releases the latch so the door can be opened from outside the vehicle.
Which door position does this handle fit?
It is made for the front left position only. Dorman notes that this handle is specific to position and side, so check that it matches the handle you are replacing.
Will this handle fit my 1995-2000 Dodge Avenger, 1995-1999 Chrysler Sebring or 1995-1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse?
It is listed for the 1995-2000 Dodge Avenger, 1995-1999 Chrysler Sebring and 1995-1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse, among other vehicles. The "Vehicles it fits" section has the complete fitment.
What are signs an exterior door handle may need replacing?
Signs include a cracked, broken or loose handle, or a handle that moves but no longer releases the door. The latch or its connecting rod can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause first.
How is this door handle installed?
Reaching the handle's fasteners and latch connection usually means removing the interior door trim panel. Follow your vehicle's service information for the procedure and to find out whether fasteners can be reused.
