Exterior door handle drivers side not working
 
Hi all first post - any tips for getting the door handle off. I have just removed interior panel and foam. I think I can see a broken / parted wire? but the access seems very poor. Cant find anything on youtube. Its a 2000 Boxster S.

Thanks

I've never had that particular door issue but this article might help:

Not the door lock assembly part but the steps to access the external door handle. The article before this one has some info too.

Thanks Steve - I didn't realize that the inside metal comes off (I haven't removed all the foam - only the corner near the lock! )

Problem Solved
 
Small threaded bar had jumped out of plastic retaining clip because the securing pin behind the handle was rusty. Replaced all for £30 now works but Airbag light on!http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1450770030.gif
parts 9 10 11 and 12
