My rear driver’s side door handle would not release the door actuator from the inside or outside so that I could open door. The electronic door opener was functioning, but the latch mechanism was stuck and would it would not release. I was able to remove the door panel from inside the car by...

Check out Gruven Parts. Online resource with parts and instructions to rebuild Tahoe folding mirrors.

Good chance that plastic gearing in the mirror is broken. The plastic gears get brittle and effectively disintegrate with time. The mirrors can be rebuilt more cost effectively than replacing with new if you’re willing to spend your time tackling the repair. Check out gruvenparts.com. They...

Diagram with Tab Locations Ok - sorry that you could not find a diagram - some that were available seem to have been removed. Here is a diagram of the underside of the 5.3L engine. It's a little difficult to see or visualize, but the arrow points to the `flat' tab area that can be used for...
