traxler19 Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 Looking for some guidance to see if I can fix the issue with my Edge personally or should I have a shop take care of it. Bottom line...my exterior door handle will not work while the interior door handle will open the door without an issue. When I shake the door I hear a metal pinging noise coming from the exterior door handle area. The door handle has been disconnected. Can anyone please instruct me on fixing this issue? Or should I take it to a shop? I appreciate all your responses and guidance in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma-2 Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 This happened to me last winter after I got a car wash. Lasted until I was able to get the car home and sit in the garage. After an hour it opened fine. Whatever caused it seems minor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twodips Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 Sounds to me like the clip that holds the arm on the door handle somehow came off. Usually caused by somebody trying to use a "slim jim" tool to unlock the car after keys were left inside or when trying to steal it. I would remove the inner door panel, I'm sure there's a video online and check the rod to see if it's connected. If not reconnect it. Not really a hard job, just be sure to have the proper tools like a clip fork. Just bought one at autozone for $4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
