2015 Yukon Front Door Handle Removal (with the unlock button)?

[David hall]

I've watched the videos on replacing the door handles but they are showing the rear handles only. For the front door handles, there's an exposed T20 fastener in the door jam which I can remove (it doesn't fall out like the rear ones do) but I can't get the handle free. It's definitely not the same procedure seen in the YouTube videos showing the process to change out the handles.

My rig is a 2015 Yukon Denali with the push button to lock/unlock the vehicle on the handle. Would anyone mind sharing with me the method to remove the front door handle?

THANKS!

Did you ever get an answer on this? Looking to do the same on my 2017 tahoe. Any good videos you can point me to?

I can’t remember the source, but there is a YouTube video showing both. Are you going to lighted handles?

I was able to get the actual handles off following this thread. What I can’t seem to figure out is if it’s possibke to disconnect the wires for the keyless entry that are attached to the handles without removing the door panels. Didn’t seem possible when I had the handles off.

I don’t think it is possible. There’s not enough slack in the door harness to allow you to get to the connector. I ran up against that when I added the illuminated handles.

I know this is a really old thread, but I ran across it when searching for the same thing as the original poster. Just found this Youtube video that shows how to get to it. I haven't verified this yet, but it looks like it is what we are looking for.

Thanks for posting this video. I've been searching YouTube will little luck so this helps out.

It appears he removed the rear handle without taking off the interior door panel or am I missing something?

Anyone know if you need to reprogram the new handles with passive locks to the car and/or FOB?
