Evening! My passenger side door on my 93' Sol is not locking at all. It seems like something is broken with in the mechanism. When trying to lock it the lock level moves back and fourth with no resistance. Is it possible to harvest another mechanism from another Honda or will I have to replace the whole handle?

 

How do you know for certain that it's the mechanism that's broken?

 

I just opened after making this post to make sure and the passenger side door handle edges started crumbling a bit in my hand. I pretty much got my question answered. The metal arm the clips in to the latch so the door can lock was completely missing the little plastic clip. At that, the latch was broken too. My passenger side seems like it is in bad condition. It was also severely dirty and a bit rusted on the inside. When I looked at the driver side it was a great condition. it seems like I am going to have to take off the door panel and get a better look inside.

Would this be a good buy for a replacement?
