Have you checked the circuits with a meter to find out if the computer is turning on the alternator ? You may need a shop manual to get the test procedures.
Interior Door Handle
This was a three minute repair, once I had the replacement handle. Leave the door panel alone! Remove the single screw holding the old handle in place. Use a flat blade screwdriver to jimmy the old handle away from the door about an inch. There are two plastic clips holding it to the rods, one for the locking mechanism and one for the latch. Use the flat blade screwdriver to unclip these two connectors. Remove the broken latch, and don't worry, the rods won't disappear into the door! Reverse these steps with the new handle (insert rods, attach clips, wiggle assembly into place, and fasten with single screw). You're done!
Replace timing belt
You might be able to find a video on how to replace the belt on Youtube. At Autozone they have the service manuals that will tell you step by step how to do it for about $20. There are timing marks on the cam and crank sprockets that you have to line up with marks on the engine. You do this before you remove the belt because the cam sprocket may move after you remove the belt. Then you release the belt tensioner and replace the belt. It is best to get a whole kit to do this including the water pump, pulleys, and tensioner because if these parts wear out later it may damage the new belt and you have to tear it all back apart. It is just good insurance against having to do more work so you do everything while you are in there.
