I think I have an idea of what raceroyce was describing.

Can someone post the pic again? The pic isnt showing anymore and i need this D:!!!! My door clip broke and so did my rod. I fixed that and right when I was about to get back into putting my door panel after being so angry trying to figure out how to take off the panel with the door closed b/c i could not open it inside or out I picked up the inside door handle and one of the cables was not latched on to the actuator and both plastic things that hold it in place were split in half for both ends

Same thing happened to mine when I did my actuators! Same side and breakage... Used your idea :-) and I worked like a charm. I'll post a picture of the heat shrink I used if you'd like. Easy fix less than $5

 

can you post a picture? I tried glue and JB Weld, but they all end up failing

 

How good does the heat shrink hold up to anyone who has tried

 

It held up really well on mine! If you wanna go a step further you could slightly sand paper the broken ends, apply glue to them, wait 5 minutes and heat shrink'em it really works. And yeah make sure the cable is as straight as possible to reduce friction than could weaken the heat shrink in the near future.

 

Ok thanks I might try that..I was curious I know this has been asked but does anyone have a picture of the paper clip holding on the broken end. Also which one is more effective?

 

I found a comment in another thread that makes a lot of sense. I'm gonna give this a shot

 

What other thread?

 

If you clicked on the little arrow in the quote in my post (which already has the answer) you would have found it

So I found a cable from the junkyard for less than 10 bucks lol and replaced it... It still doesn't work. I think it's the door actuator itself for me because I fixed my exterior handle's rod and it opens but the interior door handle doesn't open the door. Any idea if it is the actuator itself? Or am I doing something wrong

 

I think you did something wrong. If I am not mistaken, the actuator only unlocks the door. It's the cable and rods that actually open the door.

 

Hmm see the thing is it wouldn't open inside nor out. But then I fixed the rod connection to the exterior and then the interior door handle cable was replaced and reconnected. What am I doing wrong? i hooked on the cable onto the handle and the other end onto the thing that goes to the actuator basing it off pictures I've seen of it installed. Does anyone have a better picture to show me how its supposed to look like if it was working fine and how exactly its supposed to move?
