Wanted: Inner Handle Assy #72160-SE0-003 for 86-89 LXI Coupe

[thephotog97]

I've got an 89 Lxi Coupe and I've already had to replace the inner driver's door handle lock once, and the second one is almost cracked in half. This is probably due to the aftermarket alarm system I put in '04 which was set up to automatically lock/unlock the drivers door every time the engine started/stopped. I recently disabled the alarm system by removing the fuse, but about 1/5 times the lock still activates on startup (wiring issue?) The lock handle I have now is plastic, I sure wish is was metal.

Anyways, I don't have time to scour junkyards for this part, last time I got lucky and found one on eBay. The part # is 72160-SE0-003. If you have this part, or can get it for me, please let me know. I live in AZ. Thanks

Not sure if you can use anything here: 89 Honda Accord Front Passenger Side Inside Door Handle (manual Lock) | eBay

Cool thanks for the link. Do you think it matters if it is drivers side or passenger side? It looks the same

I can't say. I've never pulled it apart that far. Sorry.

So I tried to buy the part on eBay, but the seller "lost it." So back to square 1...

The part you listed is interchangeable left / right when you cross ref the part numbers. Part number is listed for coupes and hatches

I bought a brand new, non-OEM inner door handle for my '93 Accord off eBay the other day. If you ever see an old 4g running around, the inner handles will be broken. They were a weak point. I can't believe that someone, somewhere decided to do the RnD to bring door handles for 23 year old cars to market. Amazing. I also bought a brand new, non-OEM driver side master window switch on eBay for the same car. If Honda had them, they'd be a billion dollars, but I found them for $30. I could kiss the seller. That's the kind of stuff that really makes a car a drag.

Does the coupe and the sedan have same door lock assembly?
