First I just want to say "Hi" to everyone, this is basically my first real post...anyways, I bought my 2008 tahoe about 2 weeks ago, and the awesome info on here made me want to buy the DL3 Folding Mirrors, the switch to go along with it, and some chrome door handles.

I decided to install everything myself...everything on the mirrors work, except the passenger side folding, I am assuming this is normal and I need to get the dealer to program the passenger side switch and I will be good to go with the mirrors.

Now for the door handles...the install went well, but the passenger side inside door handle now sticks, WTF, I did not even touch the inside, just installed the outers. Also when I removed the door panels one of the lock/unlock levers (the thing that goes up and down) is now loose, so when you shut that door it sounds kind of cheap....

So in short...

1. Why is my inside passenger door handle sticking from me installing the outside handles?

2. Why is the lock/unlock thingy loose on one of my doors, making the door rattle somewhat when the door shuts?

Thanks for reading and I hope someone can help me out...

Also just noticed the passenger courtesy light doesn't work either, only the blinker and power tilting works...im hoping the dealer can fix this problem with programming. But what about my inside door handle, anyone experience this before...you pull the lever the door opens but the handle is stuck in the outward/open the door position??? im stumped...

the rod the handle operates is in a bind. pull it back apart, inspec it, and reassemble it.

More than likly everything will work, if not you busted the return spring on the handle itself...


GL bud.. and welcome to the site..

I am about to pull my door panel off and look at the handle sticking problem, but could someone answer me about the passenger folding mirror...do i need to get it flashed before it will fold and the courtesy light come on? Or is it possible I got a mirror that doesn't work?
