Way more work than I want to do but I'm very glad you show how to do it in case Tesla ever decides not to do it for us (someday way down the road). Hopefully I'll always be able to point to this video and just pay someone to do it for me cheaper than Tesla charges now.
Thanks for all your videos!
My handle opens the door fine but when the handle is inside a slight push should make it come out. That's not working any more. Any idea what sensor that is? It's just one handle. The other three work fine.

This video is so much more informative than others that make the job look far easier, and don't disclose a lot of essential tricks! Bravo for the video and for scaring off MANY people, who would muck this up hopelessly if they tried.
I am heading to the service center anyways on Tuesday and I have a laundry list of things that are annoying me about the car, this one ranks pretty high along with the tire rubbing when fully turned and reversing, and a rattle on the highway.

Nice video. A bit more detail than some of the others I have seen. Would be nice if all of these threads could be consolidated, there are multiple now.

Can you post the part # (and price) for the microswitch wire harness?
Edit: found it on another video, 1016009-00-C about $30

My left-rear door handle is now broken and because I'm out of warranty I'm contemplating fixing it myself. The video is fantastic, thank you.My door handle will not extend. Instead, it just makes a growling/grinding noise and stays flush. Can anyone tell me what part(s) I need to procure to fix it? Is this a gear as opposed to the wiring harness?
I would take it to the Tesla store and ask them to look at that. When I had that issue and they took it out to investigate and it fixed itself. I'm out of warranty and they wanted $600. I politely declined and they put the handle back. When I picked up the car it worked!
