Dude! The whole thing about marking the window track bolts and not putting the key in makes you today's youtube star in my book! Those details make or break somebody's epic disaster. Thanks!

It was educational up to a point. ... Wish you would have shown us the work you did -with a flashlight- on the inside of the door panel.

my toyota tacoma is a 1998 sr5 . I am having trouble replacing that orange clip that holds the connecting rod from the insidedoor handle to the door latch. My question is : do I have to take doorlatch out to replace that orange clip ? quite cramped to get tool or hand in.

Yes it is tight fit but with a 90 degree pick tool you will be able to unclip the orange connector but if it is like mine you will need to use a flat screwdriver to pop the rod out of the door handle. You might have to take the handle out to replace that clip anyway.

Ok, I’m in a situation with this latch, but on a model WITHOUT power locks - 2004 Tacoma 2wd 5spd - I was trying to replace the exterior door handle, after the plastic cracked - but it was getting dark and I couldn’t finish, so I closed the door…..but without the interior door handle or exterior handle fully connected - now I’m unable to open the door - the mechanism, as far as I can see it, is similar to this, but I’m not wanting to try to hard to manipulate the rods in question - is there some sort of “Vulcan neck pinch” that’ll let me open the door and save the impending disaster?

If the door panel is off, you should be able to get in on the opposite side and use the metal rods to open the door. The remote will not work because the security system is now activated.

That’s the trick with mine, in terms of this video - mine is purely manual. No remote, no power at all to the latch.

I have an issue where my driver door won't lock with the key from the outside. The passenger does it just fine, but not the driver side. The passenger side has an issue. If the passenger side is locked and a passenger pulls the handle to open the door, the door will not unlock from the inside. I have to get out and pull the outside door handle, then they can unlock the doors from the inside.

Sounds like a bent rod or bad latch

It returns the door handle so the handle will remain closed when not in use.

Reallyyy Late Comment, But I'm Just Now Having a Problem and I Hope You See This Comment. I Have a 97 Sr5, It wont unlock on the drivers side. The key will juss move it halfway then when you pull a handle it jerks it back down. I can't open the door inside or outside because it's basically still locked. I was finally able to get it enough to open the door and have to leave it unlocked or im fucked again lol. My question is, will a latch for a 98 fit a 97? Ones for the 97 are discontinued and goodluck finding a wrecked one lol. Its power locks. Please Help haha i'm about to pull my hair out.

@MyChemicalRemix sounds like the rods got bent. If you know where they are bent, you can bend it back. Or buy new rods.

@@BadWrenchAuto Appreciate the Reply. I've had trouble with this in the past and i was able to confirm that a 98 tacoma latch assembly will fit a 97. I think for 35 dollars, i'll just replace the whole thing and be done with it. I knew it was coming at somepoint lol. It made it 27 years though. Thank you for your video and info.

You should have started with how to remove the door panel without causing any damage....😑

This happens, and everyone got to see the issue. I covered the issue closer in other videos, and there was preexisting metal fatigue on the metal rods. But I am changing a lot with my content to fix this confusion.
