2001 Corvette door handle

Have a couple questions.  My 2001 Corvette convertible was broken in
to.  They used a screwdriver to push in the lock on the drivers door.
I took it to a shop to get fixed but they wanted to charge me $1100 to
do the job.  With high deductible and no money I would rather fix it
myself.  I'm not sure what holds the lock into place but it may be
possible to put the lock back and refasten it but I need to get to it
somehow to see.  What procedure do I need to take to get to the out
door handle from the inside without messing anything up?

2nd question: Is there a Hayes or Chilton repain manual for C5
Vettes?  I can't find one.  If anyone knows where they can be bought
please let me know.

Last question.  When I turn my lights off on my car the lights go down
but there is a whirring noise (like a motor running really loudly) on
the passenger side light.  It goes for about 10 seconds before it
quits.  Anyone have any ideas on what this may be or how it could be
fixed?  The lights work okay, but that motor noise it loud and I fear
something bad will soon follow.

Thanks for your help.
