Accord 2003 front door lock cable repair
The inside door handle on the driver side of my Accord 2003 does not operate the door mechanism anymore. I had to get out on the passenger side today. I can open the door from outside but not from inside. I am going to open the darn thing and look inside to see what's is broken. Anyr instructions/tips to remove the front door panel of a 2003 Honda accord? I searched the forum and only found instructions for a 2000 rear door.

I used a thin metal wire that I crimped on the original cable. The first pic shows where the cable broke. The second pic shows the repair I made by crimping the metal wire and attaching it to the back of the door handle.

So glad I found this forum and thread. Earlier this week my door handle did the same thing. I went to get out of my car and felt something inside the door release or snap and I couldn't open the door. Had to roll down the window, reach out and open the door, then put the window back up.
Anyways, I just fixed the problem. Only my cable didn't actually snap, it just somehow became unhitched from the handle mechanism. I pushed the end of the cable back into the mechanism then wrestled with the door panel to get it back on, but all is fixed. Took less than an hour.
