exterior door unlock button - need replacement

[NJTom]

Hello All,

It appears that recently with the cold weather, ice froze in my driver's side door unlock button. The button is compressed and won't work much anymore. Sometimes I get lucky to push it just right and the doors will unlock but I usually get aggravated enough to get the keyfob out.
I see that if the handle is pulled out to open the door, there is a small screw hidden to take the handle apart. Therefore replacing the parts inside appears to be fairly easy to do. Does anyone have a diagram of that area on the car and could assist to get the correct parts?

thanks.

Before you replace the door handle I would try spraying some electrical contact cleaner in behind the switch. Looks like there is a little room between the button and the handle surround to get it in there.

Should find it at Home Depot, Lowes, Radio Shack. Here's a link

Thanks for the tip. I'll give it a shot. Thought about spraying de-icer but that will prob kill the electronics.

Yeah de-icer would be a no-no.
