Thank you so much for this information on the ball coming out of the holder. I had this problem passenger rear door and it was exactly what you described. Took the door panel off and replaced the ball back into the holder, job done, saved a fortune in garage costs, well done and thank you. Keep up the good work with your videos,,,, Andy
My window is in the way of the door latch. Now that i took off the black bracket that held up the window. It dropped and im not sure how to access the door handle
I use packing tape to hold the window up. You don’t have to remove the glass, regulator is held up by glass. Undo all the black screws and the four silver screws and remove black panel. Follow key latch linkage and undo the yellow snap link at the bottom that holds it to the lock arm, that’s the hard part. You can see it buy peering through the same hole with the star (torx) screw that holds key latch in. A screwdriver can be used to push the snap open and slide the rod out. I use safety wire In the groove to hold the ball in tighter, twist is folded to keep it from rubbing. Thanks Theo Miti for showing the cable, ball, and latch!
Gangsta stick, your are so right. This person didn't show us how he open it up to get to the ball. That cable broke next to ball. Not fun at all when doing 2009 Rogue. The plastic cover is all solid black, meaning you see nothing inside. Took it apart (4 silver bolts) then I have another problem & made a window jumped tracks. At the moment the door handle still won't come out.. Any suggestions?
WHATEVER YOU DO, do not go into this with the mindset that the door handle cable ball 'only came off', i took my door apart only to discover the ball actually broke off. Secondly, there are no short cuts to fixing this, the window has to come out, that means separating the window from the regulator and taking it out before proceeding with removing the exterior door handle. i made the mistake of taking the regulator apart, it takes a while to figure out how to put it back together again. Do yourself a favor and watch a lot of videos before attempting this.
Hi Payton, were you able to fix the problem on your daughter's Rogue from watching this video? I have a 2013 Rogue and the driver door can only open from the inside not the outside. I called Nissan and they want $500 plus tax to change the actuator. What a bunch of crooks. I want to attempt this myself, but it seems pretty complicated disassembling/reassembling that many parts. Also, this video doesn't show from start to finish. Let me know if you were able to fix it? Thanks!
I'm having the same issue with my 2009 rogue. Hopefully it is what you're saying. I'm sure the dealers have been screwing the customers by changing the actuators!
Ok so I have a 2006 Nissan Armada and my door gives me problems most of the time. I have to climb in and open from the inside. Sometimes it opens fine. Do you think this is the problem or could it actually be the actuator?

Well, it would be nice to know how to do this while the door is closed. I cannot open the door right now, so how am I supposed to remove all the panels with the door closed and me not able to open it?
Chris Lyon - actually, I'm in the same situation my door won't open due to a damn ball fuck this ! I been locked out of my car four two days and no way of getting in it other then breaking a window smh..
Let me know if anyone else is having this issue and got it fixed. My 08 Altima has a broken outer door handle and will not open from inside our outside. How can I get the door open without prying it open? Thanks for any help!
Hey can you show us how you got the door panel to come off my issue is the same can't open the door! How do you fix a problem like that? When your door can't open to take off the panel
Does anyone know what the part is called that the ball fits into. the little port where the ball sit is broken. the ball can't attach to pull the cable up to work the latch
Thanks. The freezing whether does disconnect the cable from that latch you're showing, but it does it inside the door panel at a different connector on the lower latch. What happens is moisture freezes that cable at the bottom on a lift arm that's connected to the door handle by a metal wire. When the latch and cable freeze together, the lifting action of the door handle pulls on the wire that pulls on the latch that is supposed to slide over the cable but accidentally pull the cable up when it shouldn't and the pressure of the cable snaps it out of the door handle.

I have a 2009 Nissan Rogue that the driver door will not open from the outside or the inside. I see plenty of of videos on how to get the door panel apart etc. but do you have any ideas on how to get the door open in the first place? I can’t get the door panel off until I can open the door, right?
@@codyselden2044 I honestly can’t remember. I I believe I somehow pried open the top of the door where the window drops in and somehow got a metal rod or cost hanger to reach down in and pull the toggle that opens the door. It should be a ball you pull on and it opens up. Sorry I couldn’t be more help. I have since sold the car. I can tell you this was one of the most pain in the ass problems I have ever had on a car.
How would you fix a 2012 Nissan Cube driver's door that won't open from both the inside and outside...): Literally been getting in and out of my car from the passenger door for about a week now...
Yeah but how do you fix it? How is it meant to sit in there? You need to show what you're actually doing and show how its meant to look before "and" after.
Theo, you probably didnt fix the problem, WHY is it comming out, i have put that ball back 3 times now, keeps popping out. I believe the cable has stretched too much and causing slack in it, which causes the ball to pop out. Unfortunately the only fix is to replace the actuator which has new cables attached. Has yours pop put since this video? Thanks
I still don't see how do you take that apart if you can't open the stupid door. Maybe make another video on "How to open a door of the car that stayed locked"
Is it possible that the inside door handle wire ball can fall out of the actuator itself? I see that my inside door handle is connected but it doesn't do anything, but the outside handle works. Also, my door does not lock even if I use the manual interior lock. I see it moving when I press the lock button. I have a 2008 Nissan Altima Coupe, and it looks identical in the door.
I have a problem with my driver door on my infiniti g35. Its stuck on lock and its stiff. the lock will not let me move it at all and it wont budge at all. However my passenger side i believe that it is just really weak because I can hear the door lock wanting to move but it doesn't want to so i believe that one right there is the actuator
How do you know the ball came out before you take the door apart? If I move the handle to open the door. The metal bar that's connected to the ball moves normally. But I can't tell if it's actually put the groove.
That's simple. Just paying someone to do it...Not priceless, it's profitable! For them. Vehicle (man u fact ). Man made, note this will always cause errors. There I vented some stress. Thank you for the video. I am able to see the problem. Good video of what's wrong.
I have an 03 maxima with the rod not the cables my issue is the locking mechanism won't move so it keeps the latch in the locked position and I'm not willing to break the door card. I've tried to force the open by using a pick tool or screw drive the space is very limited.
Right!!!!! I managed to get the panel off by removing the driver seat, but I still can't open the door. What mechanism do I mess with to open the door to take the handle off?
My window is in the way of the door latch. Now that i took off the black bracket that held up the window. It dropped and im not sure how to access the door handle
Wow! I think you just saved me some money. I have a 2012 Nissan Sentra SL and my key fob can't open the driver side door. I keep getting a buzzing sound when I try to open the door. Only problem is that I'm a female and I don't know how to fix it. So my mechanic says he will charge me $65 to fix it, so I don't need to buy anything? Or what if it pops out again? How does he get it to not pop out again? Thank you.
i don't think you need to buy anything if that's the problem.it has happened twice to me and the last time i made the ball grove pocket a little tide so it won't slide out anymore.it is about an hour work , you have to take the door down, the window and take the actuator off.i think $65 is fair enough if you can't do it yourself.
I got the panel areas off but then couldn't figure out how to access the ball or remove the handle. I'm assuming it's behind the outside door handle in the top corner.
How do I get the door open so I can replace the handle it will not open I cannot get the door panel off because the door will not open is there anybody out there to help me
Dude, I washed my car on Monday at -17 ( fucking dummy) had a luck opening it a few times before, but came Wednesday i cannot open the door from the outside. Wtf

Does that work for a 2008 Nissan Altima, I think that the ball came out of the ball.
How the hell do i get the panel off to fix the door? When the door isn’t open. The locking mechanism is stuck on lock and won’t open
i have the same issue
This is how we got the door open when it was stuck from both the inside and out!
th-cam.com/video/lKi2n8ubfAE/w-d-xo.html
Check the child safety lock and make sure the door itself is unlocked.
Thank you!! That was going to be my comment. I know how to get the panel off if the damn door would open!
@stephanieebner1426 you can't check the child safety lock if the door won't open
Thanks - I was able to fix both door handles of my wife's 2009 Nissan Rogue with this info.

You should've showed you fixing it. That would have helped.
Thank you for this video! I had the exactly problem and I was able to fix it myself!
Did you have to take out the front seat to get the door panel off? My front door is stuck closed 😢
How did you get the door to open?
Video saved me allot of time thank you
