How do replace the interior door opening cable?

Trying to do the same thing. Where did you get the cable. I can't find one anywhere.

I think I have the same problem with my car. The driver-side interior door latch is broken and have to open the window to let myself out of the car from the outside. Any suggestions would be helpful for me too!

I believe that the cable is part of the door latch assembly on the Spectra. If you can get just the cable you'd most likely have to remove the black plastic covers of the latch assembly after pulling it from the door. Best of luck.

I have the same problem. Did you get yours fixed?

Cables on Ebay average $30-35, but I found one for $13 on Ebay. Keep looking! I had to send my VIN to be sure it would fit, waiting now for a reply. Just got tired of having to roll the window down to get out of the car.

It is a down right shame they make the cable ending for the Kia door latch out of week pot metal. There are so many out there that have this problem of having to open the window to get out. What happens if in an accedent car has no power and you are not able to open your window and or door souly because that cheap part will not allow you. In a life threatening emergency this will be beyond bad. The people out there with this problem need a vidio to help in fixing this problem. How about this KIA you are endangering lives out there because of your cheap short cuts. Thanx for the shaft KIA.

I'm having the same problem but with a manual door knob :\

Having same problem Cable let go on drivers side door. Cannot open door from inside. Going to shop to get quote.

Cable is about $6 and their are a couple videos showing you how. One important item missed is you need a very short phillips screw driver to loosen up the white plastic, which holds cable ends in place. The other part missing is making sure you snap the end of the cable in the plastic, to keep in the hole. After playing with it for an hour, the plastic clip flipped into the opening and from there went fine. Should only take 30 minutes. Took me a couple hours going back and forth trying to see what was on the video I missed. Missed items noted above were not in the video.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfYLczmfvkI is a great youtube video for accessing and repairing driver's side door latch issues in a 2006 Kia Spectra, however....ATTENTION, RED ALERT! If you are unlucky enough to have a little (1/4") square tab at the leading end of the existing two main (1/2") square tabs on the white plastic latch assemblies, you may, with some difficulty, remove the latch assembly back from the door panel tab openings as shown, but you will never be able to put it back in position when you have finished your repair, unless...you...carefully... use a small fine toothed hand-held hacksaw blade to section the small tabs from the main tabs. Then the reassembly will proceed without losing your mind and bruising/scratching your hands.
