2015 Dodge Charger Door Handle Fix

[@bigmillofficial]

I spent a whole hour trying to get the door off. I just watched your video & you said "push while pulling" the tab. I wish I would've watched your video 1st. Thank you. I just got mad & drunk thinking ima have to call the mechanic in the morning. Nope. It's fixed. Thanks man💯💯💯💯💯

[@PhenomII1090T]

Cool, yeah I took it all apart first, and once I found the hiccups, put it back together with the instructions since I knew what to do wrong.

[@davidrickey3776]

Worked perfectly for my back door thank you

[@ADA-ih6kz]

Thanks bro saved me alot of money, only to about 30 minutes with the right tools. Worked on my 2019.

[@PhenomII1090T]

Awesome, the right tools make a difference for sure, it took me like 4 hours but most of that was "hmm... What do we do next?"

[@ADA-ih6kz]

@@PhenomII1090T yup, the instructions were perfect!!!

[@haileymorris3861]

Thank you so very much for this video. You saved me hundreds I had the same issue it was stressing me out. I had a relative do this for me and it took him a hour.

[@PhenomII1090T]

Well glad to hear it's still helping. Mind me asking what milage yours gave out at? It had me buffaloed when it initially happened, I even replaced the front wheel bearings first because I thought that was the issue. I also did... Way more interstate driving than I should have before I discovered the full effect of the issue, was a bit crazy. Seems like it's become a very common problem, which is most unfortunate. The updated design appears to be, in the event a similar issue occurs, less of a royal pain to deal with since it separates.

​@@PhenomII1090Ti just made 100K on a 2019 Charger. And taking the door off wasn't hard just aligning the rubber part and tabs to the window was the tricky part. Other than that it was pretty easy. Thanks again. I was about to make an appointment to a body shop to get a new handle with paint and labor.

[@PhenomII1090T]

@@haileymorris3861 haha well I should do better at looking at the video the comment was referring to. Door stuff was way easier to deal with. I've had the most responses to the one on my drive shaft issue so I just assumed that was the one, and that's why you should never assume. 😂 If that happens in the future, and if they didn't have the updated design for a '19, then that's a possible issue on the horizon from what the comments have been. I would hope they've resolved it in newer models though.

[@haileymorris3861]

@@PhenomII1090T ok I will have to take a look at more of your videos. This is my 4th Charger and I'm sure your video's will continue to be useful to me in the future 😊

[@PhenomII1090T]

@@haileymorris3861 This was my second, started with an 09 SE and made the big upgrade to this a few years ago. I've stopped daily driving mine since I picked up a Silverado, so... that should hopefully be limiting my need for repairs, but I'm sure there will be more things to diagnose and repair. Good luck to you with yours!

[@abdulrahmanalshehri3570]

Thanks for posting this video. It's really helpful and saved me money and time. Not mention the dealer couldn't troubleshoot it. Thanks again

[@PhenomII1090T]

I'm glad my frustration with it can help haha. I found so many forum posts saying "yeah just do XYZ" but that's different from actually seeing XY and Z happen.

[@timpratt2916]

Amazing, thank you for the quick guide! Just happened to me on my 2012 Charger and I had it fixed in an hour.

[@angelcolin7562]

Exactly, what I just finished doing Wish I'd seen your video earlier Great description man

[@PhenomII1090T]

I wish... They didn't seem to fail so often... 😆

[@FlyisFoEva]

Thank you man, you saved me $500.

[@PhenomII1090T]

Happy to help, I hadn't seen any good walkthroughs so I figured I'd make my own. I've been making vids as stuff breaks, been interesting, but it'd be nice to not have to fix this stuff 😆

[@lilweezy904boi]

Great job and instructions… mine has broke twice and the dealership rip me off 275$ each time…. Did the job in 30 mins at night

[@PhenomII1090T]

Broke twice? What are you doing drag racing it? 😂 I'd be looking at the 1 piece if it happened to me again. Glad it helped!

[@Fabian.chavez1]

Thank you sir. Saved me a lot of money! I had my window down and like an idiot thought there was glass between the panel and screw

[@PhenomII1090T]

Yep, the glass has gotta go somewhere haha

@@PhenomII1090T lmao smh 🤦‍♂️ it was a long day and was bummed I was going to have take my car to the shop.

[@PhenomII1090T]

@@Fabian.chavez1 that was me, but I just thought "surely this can't be this hard" and, turns out... Not bad. My latest problem with the drive shaft was... Actually a little hard... But I shot one of that guy too, only took like 9-10 hours with no directions to reference xD

[@Fabian.chavez1]

@@PhenomII1090T dang.. my only other problem with my 16 is the actual panels have lifted up on all 4 doors and is a known issue for many,

[@PhenomII1090T]

@@Fabian.chavez1 panels lifted? As in the door alignment is off?

[@ShadeOfShane]

Thank you so fucking much for this video. The shop wanted $450+ for a fix and all I had to do was push the lever manually so that the other part ontop would reset and sit ontop of it (was just grinding against it)..

[@zdub1165]

The screw broke off on mine and I need to order the entire arm thing. What is that part of the door called?

[@firm789]

Happen to mine..Good Stuff Bro!

[@PhenomII1090T]

It about drove me nuts, I just went to open one day and the handle went "nooope". Didn't even have symptoms until it just gave up.

[@von1851]

What type of screw is that? When I turn it, it seems like it stripped? Where can I purchase it?

[@PhenomII1090T]

If it's stripped, I'd recommend putting some JB Weld or some lighter weight glue on the screw and thread it in to lock it in.

[@von1851]

@@PhenomII1090T Thank you

[@DadBag-dg7ef]

What tool did you use to tighten it

[@PhenomII1090T]

@@DadBag-dg7ef you can tighten it with a multi tip screwdriver with a T25 bit on it, pretty common. That or if you have a socket set with torx bits and probably a 6" extension you should be a-ok.

[@thesushininja6480]

This happened to my rear door how do i fix it? They seem to be different in the rear door panel.

[@PhenomII1090T]

I'm not sure, the part number seems to 68148515AA for the left rear door, or 68148514AA for the right read door from some quick googling. The process in theory should be way easier, just open the front door and swap the hinges.

[@thesushininja6480]

@@PhenomII1090T left rear

[@PhenomII1090T]

It's at least a relatively simple fix. I'd suggest adding blue locktite to it, I didn't on mine when I put it back in, but I should have.

[@Fabian.chavez1]

Help with rear?

[@PhenomII1090T]

I would be very willing to bet the rear door has the same "trap door" holding the screw. I haven't had to deal with it yet, but this should give you a pretty good idea what you're looking for.

[@Fabian.chavez1]

@@PhenomII1090T yeah happened to the driver door, to me and now the passenger. unfortunately different on passenger. It has the trap door but the screw is too far to the side for a screw driver to fit

[@PhenomII1090T]

@@Fabian.chavez1 get yourself a multi-tip screwdriver bit, and a 6-12" extension, from Harbor Freight even, if you have one nearby, since it's a 1 time use. Unless the screw driver is too long to fit. If that's the case, they make 1/4" nut driver rachet attachments to get it in there at an angle instead.
