Exterior door handle help!

So my door handle was cracked (had to pull up extra hard on it to open).
I get a used replacement (not cracked) install etc. I shut the door and it unlatches about 1/2 way and locks..so Ive gotta manually unlock with key or pull up on lock latch.

Help!

Do I need another door handle/new handle is one of the rods out of adj (is there an adj)?

Hellppp lol a new handle from toyota is like $130..yikes

The handle I got had a few miles and some play..thinkin' about a new one from toyota or a repro?


Ughhh lol this is a PITA

 

I searched on Amazon for some exterior door handles and found several pretty cheap. Also had good reviews. Hope this helps! http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/s/ref=is_s_?ie=UTF8&k=1998+toyota+tacoma+door+handle

 

All fixed, for those that're interested or that will search this in the future, I washed the handle down with brake cleaner then sprayed some graphite. Took awhile for it to work in but seems to work better than the driver now!

(Used a USED handle from a relatively high mileage truck).

 

Never skipped a beat on my truck! haha

 

Works good now..I'd just needed a good cleaning I guess lol lube always helps
