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 remove and reinstall the front driver's side door handle on this 2001 Sequoia, same as any '01 to 04. The procedure is very similar for the passenger side as well. Tools you'll need are the same tools that you'll need to just remove the door panel. That's a flat blade screwdriver, both the regular and small size, Phillips screwdriver, and a door panel clip tool or a putty knife.
Your battery is here on the driver's side. You want to disconnect your negative battery cable, which should be the one closer to the fender. Loosen it, pull it up off the terminal, and tuck it down on the side.
You start up here with the flat blade screwdriver. Carefully pry at the top and pull this up and out. Then, this is your switch panel here. Insert your screwdriver right in the middle of the front, and it's a little unnerving. It eventually comes, but you have to pry it pretty hard. The switch panel comes up and out. There's a little tab right here. Press that down and disconnect. Next, there's a little detent here. Pull this little plug out. Then, on your courtesy light here, put your screwdriver in at the front and pry it out. There's a little metal clip, you kind of heard it fall down in the door. It will fall out in a second. Then, you pull this right off. You'll need a smaller flat blade screwdriver. For the little trapdoor in your door handle here, just pry that out, and you'll see a Phillips screw. Then, also here, there's a little plug, pry that off and the Phillips screw right there. Use your Phillips screwdriver. Fast forward here as we remove that screw, the one that is in the door handle, and then the one underneath the armrest as well. Take your regular screwdriver again, put it in right above the lock here, and pry up and out on your bezel and then down and out and pull that right out. On the back edge of the door panel, there's two little pins. Push the center of the pins in and then these clips come out. Take the door panel clip tool and insert it into the back here, slide it up, you'll feel a clip. Try and go around the clip, and pull it out. There's my little clip for my courtesy light. Go right around the door. If you don't have a door panel clip tool like this, then, a household putty knife works as well, as long as it has a tempered blade. Once you release the clips, lift the door panel up, then off. If a clip or two stay behind, just use a pair of needle-nose pliers and pull those out. We'll just put them right back into your door panel.
To remove your inside door handle, you slide it back. Then, it comes off. Then, just turn it over and you pull your cables carefully out, spin them around, and then, take them out. The handle comes off. For reinstallation, you have to turn your handle upside down, so you take the top cable, and you put it in the bottom here, putting the handle upside down that is. Put that in, clip it in place. Take this cable up in, clip it in place, and flip it around.
To put the door panel on, put it up in place. Make sure you pull your window harness through and push this harness through right down here. I'm just going to look back and make sure your pins are going in. Start from top to bottom. Make sure this goes down in correctly. We'll fast forward here again. As I put the screw in underneath the armrest in the door handle, as well as the front one, and put that clip on and the little cover panels. On these pins, make sure you push them out, so the center is sticking out. Then, you push it into place, and lock it in by pushing the pin flush. Again, push it out, so the pin's sticking out, put it in, push the pin in flush to lock. Then, if you haven't already, reconnect and tighten up your negative battery cable. We hope this helps you out.
